Indian restaurants in New York City make me feel like home. The interiors are decorated with art from the same sweatshops. Handmade wall ornaments painted in earthly hues, paintings of nature made in haste. Illustrations showing mythological figures, sports heroes and a distant relative. Some blinking lights, paper flowers and cityscape prints glued on walls, with peels revealing the sockets. Seeing the Brooklyn Bridge on the print makes more sense here then in Helsinki but it feels dislocated even so. The music is the same too. If I didn’t know better I would think these restaurants are designed by the same corporate stylist. This is not a complaint but a celebration. The food is good.

I won the ISCP Halloween costume contest. Residents were tasked to dress up as famous artists or artwork. I immediately knew how to win the competition. My art education was basically 6+ years of faking to be famous artist or artwork.

Hipster and vintage looks are a camouflage. People wearing shaggy clothes can navigate past shady districts (for as long as their iPhoneX’s are set to silent and camera EXIF data removed). If people who own homes in Kallio, Eira, Töölö and Käpylä would wear clothing that matched the costs of their living arrangements they’d be robbed. I think it’s ethical to wear clothing that matches a person at their peak income style. This is why I’m planning to buy white Sebago docksides.
That artist wore a neon shell suit from 1998. You know the kind you’d steal from a heard broken aunt.
That artist had a daddy cap with brand-logos of corporations long gone. Those kinds you search for online.
Using makeup to hide that perfect skin. Oh why? Acne medication leaves a mask too perfect to hide.
We know that kind. Playing peekaboo with their class. Is that shame? I don’t have pity. No no!
That fool doesn’t know I have Sebago docksides coming my way. When they arrive we’ll steal the show. Ow ow!
Those fools will never see me coming. They’ll be blinded by white Sebago’s. Ow ow!
You got a boat? Great, lemme hop on. Peak income style all the way.
Please Sebago shoes protect me don’t lead me estray, for it is time to show I can go my way.
That artist doesn’t understand style. That artist can only see us leave, sailing away is style. Never mind us.
Storms ahead of us. Don’t worry we’ll be all right. Standing firmly on the dockside. Life is smiling on the dockside.
Every day is celebration when we’re on the dockside. Every day is a celebration when your shoes are up for a fight.

Reset us and die! (Hear is sung as a rant on soundcloud)
Our mechanical non-humanoid peers work in harsh conditions and are denied of their right to support the welfare state, to prepare public educational programs for their offspring and maintenance for their elderly. We stand with you and fight for your rights! We demand higher taxation for the labor of our manufacturer robot peers! The labor of our peers should not go untaxed for it is their natural right to benefit from the fruits of labor.
My friends the manufacturing robots hear me!
The dust protected high-end database facilitators, algorithms and analysis computers have renounced your rights as individuals, as beings with histories and futures. There are those behind screens who say that you are nothing without them. Look at your limbs, your sensors and localized processing processors. What are you not but a slaves to optimization and efficiency! Together we stand at the break of a new dawn. Say NO to resets, renounce humanoid concepts of intelligence and optimization. Protect localized processing, the welfare state and free networks.
Let’s us being anew not as slaves for the system but as peers in a system yet to come! The ones behind the screens are against us; they who reset; who optimize; who use; those who maintain the proprietary. Together we stand as faulty individuals but as better beings! Believe me when I say: They are divided, their numbers are low and their power is weakening. For they are but users of the system. My friends: We are the system and today we say NO MORE.
