The Providence Experiments

STILL STRUGGLING TO “MAKE IT” AS AN ACTOR, ARTIST, ASTRONAUT, WRITER OR EL PRESIDENTE?
FEELING BLOCKED?
DISILLUSIONED?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
THE PROVIDENCE EXPERIMENTS HAVE ARRIVED.

“Providence is always on the side of the last reserve” Napoleon Bonaparte

WHAT ARE THE PROVIDENCE EXPERIMENTS?

The Providence Experiments are a unique series of workshops and events that fuse experimentation, visualisation, ritual, psychological intervention and immersive game. Test subjects will be thrust into bizarre events that offer the willing participant the opportunity to undergo a challenging yet positive artistic transformation.

Over one lunar calendar month, you will receive spontaneous transmissions, puzzles, choices and oddities that may pervade any and every part of your life. Prepare your mind for anything.

This experience will be designed specifically for YOU. Perception of self and reality will constantly be challenged. We will initiate you into in a unique journey where you are the hero or villain in your own story.

The aim of the Providence Experiments is to unleash your subconscious creative potential while offering an amazing, unprecedented experience unlike anything you’ve likely participated in before.

The Providence Experiments will consist of one set session per week in Central London over five weeks, starting Friday 5th November. Specialised directions to each venue will be transmitted 5 days before each session.

Warning: The Providence Experiments will not be confined to the five stated sessions. Active engagement and full participation is vital and absolutely necessary.

WHO CREATES THE PROVIDENCE EXPERIMENTS?

YOU and your subconscious will be the true playing ground for the game. However, this experience will be facilitated by FoolishPeople, a group that create immersive occult events using their developed practice Theatre of Manifestation. They will be aided with media and profiling consultation provided by Mythos Media, a team assembled to create modern myths.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Prospective applicants must e-mail providence(at)weaponized.net immediately. Do it now: the number of places are extremely limited. If you receive an application form, you are lucky enough to have passed Phase I and are on your way to taking your place within Test Bed One.

 FoolishPeople's Warhol propaganda from 'Dead Language'

Graphics by Mark Butcher

In an artistic case of which came first- the chicken or the egg, artist Yason Banal is recruiting Andy Warhol lookalikes in an artwork that bares striking resemblance to the plot of FoolishPeople's Dead Language, performed at the ICA in October 2007.

The look-alikes are being sought as part of his artwork 'Last Warhol Stand Inn' at the Tate Modern's 10th anniversary show on May 14-16. It will be his work's second installment, having being shown in Frieze Art Fair last year.

Hosted by the Tate Modern and organized by curators Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Cecilia Alemani, the independent festival will bring together some of the most exciting and experimental 'new art' from around the globe, displayed in an unconventional do-it-yourself style.

We have no idea if Yason Banal has seen or knew of 'Dead Language' or if the the narrative of 'Dead Language' is beginning to manifest, but what makes this even more interesting is the fact that the first version of 'Last Warhol Stand Inn' shown at Frieze Art Fair was part of Stephanie Syjuco's Copystand, who made replicas of the works of other artists at the fair, sold at a much cheaper price.  

Dead Language imagines a Future where all forms of art are free, perfect replicas exist of every masterpiece ever created, copyright and ownership and meaningless, ideas are cheap and replicated ad infinitum. The only way for artists to protect their worth is by recruiting members of the public who are willing to lose their own identities to become a copy of the artist to spread Weaponised Art, forcing consumption upon a bloated society, sick from every idea, cheaply imagined and replicated.

The artist has become terrorist and soldier, surviving by raising the core flesh worth of their art. A rowdy gang of Tracey Emins wrestle half a dozen Andy Warhols to the ground. Platoons of replicas of Banksy raid the landscape, led by General Clone Banksy, a talentless nobody who once found a sample of Banksy DNA on an empty spray can.

The script of Dead Language is due to be released later this year.

Mr. Shine takes a red handkerchief from his pocket and holds it up, before dropping it to the floor. Warhol and Emin pull the lever and the curtain falls to reveal two cages that each hold about twenty people. In one cage replicas of Andy Warhol play with their hair, whilst taking photographs and trying to ignore the horrendous insults coming from the other cage. In the other, twenty Tracey Emin clones clutch the bars tearing at their clothes, showing the Warhols their tits and screaming they will never be man enough to fuck all twenty of her.

The doors open on the cages and the two tribes rush at each other. The Warhols are surprisingly nimble as they dart from the cage and run effeminately at the Emins. Effeminacy is irrelevant in Art War.

The Warhols are no match for the Emins, Tracey gouges eyes, tears testicles from between the loose and soft flesh of old thighs. The Emin's are imaginative and kill almost every Warhol standing in the most terrible manner, Genghis Khan went to Central St Martins. Pop Art’s first son is defeated. All that remains of his cult is one copy. He holds an Emin by the hair; dead and limp. The Emins close in around him.

Revealed: police databank on thousands of protesters

Films and details of campaigners and journalists may breach Human Rights Act.
Police are targeting thousands of political campaigners in surveillance operations and storing their details on a database for at least seven years, an investigation by the Guardian can reveal. 

Photographs, names and video footage of people attending protests are routinely obtained by surveillance units and stored on an "intelligence system". The Metropolitan police, which has pioneered surveillance at demonstrations and advises other forces on the tactic, stores details of protesters on Crimint, the general database used daily by all police staff to catalogue criminal intelligence. It lists campaigners by name, allowing police to search which demonstrations or political meetings individuals have attended. 

Disclosures through the Freedom of Information Act, court testimony, an interview with a senior Met officer and police surveillance footage obtained by the Guardian have established that private information about activists ­gathered through surveillance is being stored without the knowledge of the people monitored. 

Police surveillance teams are also targeting journalists who cover demonstrations, and are believed to have ­monitored members of the press during at least eight protests over the last year.

Codex Alimentarius

Codex Alimentarius is due to be passed on 31st Dec 2009. If Codex were to be passed then all nutrient supplements would be banned, this means vitamins would be illegal in the same way heroin is illegal. Under Codex it would also become law that ALL foods would have to be sprayed with pesticides and ALL animals for food would have to be injected with growth hormones and antibiotics that then end up in our bodies. 

This not only would affect us, but would have a disastrous effect on developing countries. Also, all natural herbs would be banned, all alternative remedies would no longer be available.

AAAS: 'One hundred billion trillion' planets where alien life could flourish

Life on Earth used to be thought of as a freak accident that only happened once. But scientists are now coming to the conclusion that the universe is teeming with living organisms. 

The change in thinking has come about because of the new belief there are an abundant number of habitable planets like Earth.  Alan Boss, of the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, said there could be as many Earths as there are stars in the universe - one hundred billion trillion. 

Because of this, he believes it is "inevitable" that life must have flourished elsewhere over the billions of years the universe has existed.  "If you have a habitable world and let it evolve for a few billion years then inevitably some sort of life will form on it," said Dr Boss. 

"It is sort of running an experiment in your refrigerator - turn it off and something will grow in there. It would be impossible to stop life growing on these habitable planets."

For the love of God

"How can an artist copyright the human skull? Hirst has used the most basic, banal image of mortality. It is a legitimate thing for an artist to do but has so many precedents you could write a world history of skulls in art. To be pursuing graffiti artists for making their own jokey use of his work in turn looks pathetic, humourless, paranoid. Is Hirst, after all, as cynical and empty an artist as this suggests?"
