Greetings fellow travelers, please allow me to introduce myself; I\u2019m Mike \u2018Cyber Shaman\u2019 Kawitzky, independent film maker and writer from Cape Town, South Africa, one of your media\/art contributors\/co-conspirators.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bit daunting posting to such an illustrious board, so let me try to imagine, with you; how to regard the present with nostalgia while looking look forward to the past, knowing that a millisecond away in the future exists thoughts to think; it\u2019s the mode of neural text, reverse causality, non-locality and quantum entanglement, where the traveller is the journey into a world in transition; after 9\/11, after the economic meltdown, after the oil spill, after the tsunami, after Fukushima, after 21st Century melancholia upholstered by anti-psychotic drugs help us forget \u2018the good old days\u2019; because it\u2019s business as usual for the 1%; the rest continue downhill with no brakes. Can\u2019t wait to see how it all works out.<\/p>\n
Please excuse me, my time machine is waiting\u2026
