John Issac & Friends :Provactive Art

Follow my blog with bloglovin

John Issacs, an amazing artist-reflects on this era or (generation) of technology of the internet.. a lost generation; a parasitic group of humans digesting the earth in all its glory and beauty one day at a time. If your not already ...disencouraged by what you see on the news and hear about, they will tell yourself for you...that you have no chance if you dont get caught up in the war and the nazi politics that transpire today then maybe you will be arrested for disagreeing with the government on the account that you may be a"terrorist".

So what do we do?

start talking about this more often?

 

 

 

"We live in an age of such glaring contradiction that we have grown to accept such grotesque inbalance and injustice with a world-weary reluctance. Moral outrage at the current state of the planet only seems to last so long before one becomes accustomed to a sense that mankind as a species is powerless to effect any kind of change on the seeming inevitability of its own self-destructive evolution".

We hide from ourselves the way we hide from each other.

Big Black Middle Finger?

(Yes I love this one. Its says alot, oh the glory of a photo.)

"Playing with the extremities and taboos of the modern day norm, Isaacs’ art reveals a number of uncomfortable truths that, he believes, we are all, to some extent, conscious of."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The matrix of amnesia

98'

 

 

"Running alongside the seeming directness and simplicity of John Isaacs’ work there is a pervasive current of unease and anxiety that identifies our modern way of life and its thinking as somehow warped, disjunctive and off balance."

I use to think I could change the world but now I think it changed me.

Oh and I just love this last one I wanted to share! Its so primative and natural, being entangled with nature, paying close attention to the still air and the suttle hyms of the wind and the leaves that cover the limbs of trees.

I really love and enjoy all the aspects of Issacs work. From his sculptures to his photos, to the scalped monkey smoking a ciggarette everything is shouting, but usually there is no visible form of speech to be found. His outlook, and inspiration for his art ,inspires me. I am effected everyday from my growing awareness of the reality in which we live in; the generation that I am apart of and all the things I feel obligated to do , to work on . It's like the more you begin to look into things, the more you wish you had'nt.

Since I'm talking about provactive art.....

                      

                                           Dash Snow. 07-13-09

Dash was infamously known for his polaroids, shocking, raunchy, and just plain honest as they could be. He was a go-getter if you will a real-life come from nothing entrepenuer when it came to photography and life that is. Not ever expecting such credability or even fame, Snow trucked on, partied on and became a face on the underground seen or heck his polaroids did at least. Prety good for a 13 year old that ran away from home and just started taking random pictures everday.

Dont Cry for me.

MTV:Says just dance

Today.. I have made a small pledge to myself, whether or not anyone is reading any of this; too post something each day or every other day if I can, too simply remind myself of exatcly what I give reference too in the title of this blog.

"Liberate yourself from the illusion of culture" ...of highly commercialized fashion and media. I in fact love all things that sparkle & glitter, sure...art is subjective and so is beauty, but even I know all that glitters is NOT GOLD. I will go on to post things here on this small space of expression I posess on the interweb, I will continue to include things about fashion, art and music. For it is what flows in me, and in some of you, I tell myself it's just a form of creative expression, noting at the same time I denounce the vacuous-ness of it, the falsehood of "class", and all the artifical sub-cultures it has given birth too.

  Like everyone else ; wrapped up (plugged in)to the "reality" of this man made media influenced based culture :where actors are heros and gods...another puppet is in office, and our economy is undergoing a complete meltdown. I dont see things improving or any promises being carried out, I see tragedy and laziness, a generation of the internet, you dont need a personality ! Myspace will create one for you. I see humans that spend more time talking about what Lady Gaga is wearing and who is going to win "dancing with the stars", than anything slightly important or even substantialy relevant to life.

  I think. we all get wrapped up , I mean how could you not? Everything you see, hear , learn in school, eat, suggestive movies,symbols, just polluted, perfectly constrived and concieved by masterminds, greed ridden gremlins .. hungry vacuous wolves.. out for one thing ....your "mind". (Ok im done.)

So therefore this leads me to a post I found on vigilantcitizen.com,  I did some google-ling because someone pointed out to me recently a claim that...Ms Lady Gaga ... is in fact a woman(turned man who under went a sex change) chameleon haired , Illuminati Puppet? (Maybe not having cable, is a good thing after all.)

Lets take a closer look.....
 
These are the claims showing evidence of occult symbolism which like most people should know by now: Its everywhere !!(hmm the dollar bill for example?.)
 

 The Eye of Providence, or the all-seeing eye of God, is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind.

-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Typical symbol that the Illuminati use ...probably the most obvious and overused symbol you will see.)

Of course the dollar bill, most recognized use of the symbol and obvious one at that.

Signs ? Symbols? Yes...

Subliminal messages...most effective form of brain washing? Yes i think so.

Who specifically exposes your mind to these types of messages? Lets see for example:

:Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes) and words to gain admission to meetings and identify legitimate visitors.:

Illuminati symbols are all around you and everywhere you go.Illuminati symbols can be traced back to ancient pyramids and illuminati symbolism in the Christian bible and other world religions and mythologies. The most popular illuminati symbols is the eye on the pyramid on the back of the one dollar bill. Other illuminati symbols can be found in architectural design, corporate logos and pop culture media.

Baphomet, the Devil, is part male, part female human and part goat.

::Baphomet Unique to Satanism. A demonic deity and symbolic of Satan. Can be seen as jewelry

It is also now being used by the masons. It can be seen on their buildings and the emblems they put on their vehicles to identify each other::

Kind of resembles baphomet's hand placement in the picture above? Or are we reading too far into it?

Notice here the lightening bolt on her right eye, this is also a symbol used by

the illuminati (freemasons).

Hello Kitty? Sure we all might have a slight obsession (maybe thats just me).

But is this an indirect message to youth? A symbol of childhood innocence?

Ok, on that note lets anaylze her "stage" name Gaga:

Gaga is a term that immediately refers to absent mindedness. Here are some synonyms taken from a thesaurus:

•Given to lighthearted silliness: empty-headed, featherbrained, flighty, frivolous, frothy, giddy, harebrained, lighthearted, scatterbrained, silly. Slang birdbrained, dizzy.


•Afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness: brainsick, crazy, daft, demented, disordered, distraught, dotty, insane, lunatic, mad, maniac, maniacal, mentally ill, moonstruck, off, touched, unbalanced, unsound, wrong.


Is she really imposing on us to be robotic, febel, fashion-minded, ready to just follow the heard? Is this promoting in itself a behavior that would resemble someone who has been a mind control victim? Just dance , wear fancy clothes, dont think for yourself, making this all appear to be trendy? fashionable? Hmmmm...

"True magical symbols are 'disguises' for ideas, how their forms
are so arranged as to provide a clue to some hidden meaning. The 'hidden meanings' are

often very subtle, and an ability to recognise magical symbols must be developed by anyone who

wishes to seek these out" (p. 11). 

-http://www.secretsofmasons.com/masonic-symbols.htm

In a spin: Gaga demonstrates some of her bizarre dance moves while dressed in skimpy underwear [The spiral represents time, something lost on mind control victims; metal is cold and impersonal.

Despite her well-publicised love of bizarre hats and sunglasses, GaGa insisted condoms were the number one accessory. [Condoms would be a crucial accessory to someone who was expected to service or 'perform for' her handlers.]

Really? I guess practice save sex kids!

Here playing with Madonna?( Another suspected puppet)

Nothing Lady Gaga is doing is actually "new" or really edgy..yet she may be talented

but is she just a toy, an image? Whether its staged or not? Why are there demonic and masonic symbols

appearing everywhere is she mocking mind control, the illuminati or representing ?
