You Score as a Transhumanist-Biotech Transhumanists believe that humanity can and should strive to attain higher levels of physical, mental, and social achievement through the use of technology. They seek to extend human capabilities and improve the human condition through technology- supporting the quest for immortality, the conquering of death and disease, the amplification of human intelligence, and the capabilities of the human body. Transhumanists recognize that over time and with technological advancements, man will realize new possibilities for society and human nature and achieve a posthuman condition (becoming more than human). Societal change is an important consequence of technological progress. Because of this passionate trust in technological advancement, transhumanists generally see all technologies, as long as they don’t jeopardize the non-corporeal consciousness of a person, as being beneficial both to society and to the happiness and advancement of the person. Transhumanists see benefit not only in technologies that address medical necessities, but also aesthetic or recreational demands. They support advances in cybernetics, genetic engineering in clinical settings, embryo design, and other technologies that allow individuals to take control of their biology, and the human species to take control of evolution. Transhumanists can be either hard-technology oriented–more inclined to add microchips and machines to their lifestyle–or bio-technology oriented–preferring the softer, more natural advancements and modifications that are made available.

love is the only engine of survival!

a lot of emotions I want to share, but I’m not very good with english language. but music is universal, huh? so I decided to share some of the songs I’m most into, five at a time.
.
click on the banner below, and you can listen to it. courtesy of soundblox (which I used in zona visser, another project of mine)

800.03, Gab.Gato

this song is so obscure I don’t even have it’s actual name… just 800.03.mp3, and that’s it.
how I feel: a cyborg rechecking its peripherals before a procedure. a subroutine. grey, cold, and monotone. detached and snobby.
also check: the “automatuch”, or something like that. the different voices for different subroutines.
grab it: there’s no way iTMS has it (even google shows meager pages about). and since some other sites offer the mp3, you can download from me too. (control-click on windows, alt-click on a mac)

Aéro Dynamik, Kraftwerk

how I feel: in a happy airport. optimistic. it’s a mantra, you know.
also check: the starry bleeps. the chorus, sinalizing the way.
grab it: iTMS has it, fellas. buy it there, and deDRM it later with jhymn.

In The Future With Machines, FPU

how I feel: a good song for a drag queen to perform. vfull of drama.
also check: the egiptian bg. the lyrics, in fact.
grab it: no digital store around, but cds, still. sorry, folks

Konpyuta, Plastique de Réve

how I feel: archeologists find an ancient document detailing the purposes of computers. historic revisionism, reifying the digital experience. technognosis.
also check: the german/japanese voice. the attention to spell kon-pyu-ta right. like if the desitiny of mankind depends on it.
grab it: nowhere around, so grab it from me. (control-click on windows, alt-click on a mac)

Scorpio, The Fever

how I feel: powerful, but headed to a fall. doomed. scorpio people are short-sighted, you know. feel like placing a bet you can’t cover. pokerface all around.
also check: egyptian bg also. guitars, a thing I don’t usually like, but worked right on it.
grab it: on iTMS. (did I say about jhymn already?)

a guy shoot a bicycle ride on nyc with a camera attached on his helmet, so you can enjoy the thrill of riding a bike on the streets, without giving up your obese-passive-consumer lifestyle.

(ok, i’m being cranky: the video is cool, only the soundtrack - “welcome to the jungle” doesn’t help).
.
in the future, there will be no narrative on videos… only freestyle stuff like this.

ocean drive, by FPU
.
this song reminds me of all the adventure me and jeff are having in this country… all the options, and the choice we make, and what we lost in the process.
.
usually i don’t have time to look at my life now and gaze it as a piece of art, like I’ll surelly do in the future.
.
so, this song cut some steps, and makes me nostalgic of the present, paying attention to my choices, making me feel mythical again. the way it should be.
.

white linen on your back
black secrets on your mind
a past you tried to hide
and a life you left behind
the pastel days and neon nights
the guilty hearts and alibis
the streets run red on ocean drive
but can our love survive
.
I see too many of the wrong men die
for stealing their dreams and buying time
in your eyes I saw the rising sun
and still I sold myself for a badge and a gun
.
I’ve seen too many of the wrong men die
For stealing their dreams and buying time
I never thought I spend these nights alone
Now I walk the streets trying to find my way back home
.
It’s just me and you tonight

in the other one, called rasterbation, you send a picture (upload or the web) and they give you a big pdf file to print (in black & white, huge dots and tiled). good to tell the world about your last obsession.
