Will of the People

 


Will of the People
benjamin harubin 2025
14" x 11"
acrylics, paper, pencil, ink & plastic scraps on canvas


going into hivernation now
while the icy wind knocks down the stands
diving into damp soil
when the sky above is fire

the nail that sticks out gets hammered down
but when you squish a thing it squishes out somewhere else

let's create a plasmatic evolutionary biohistory of human culture; art, politics, war, &&

what are the people/ what are you?

and what's the purpose of a trillion dollar black mirror?
(from the perspective of a plasmatic biological analysis 
of a web of inseparable thinking systems 
such as machines and humans also dogs and cats, bugs, smaller bugs 
and sorry, but yes rocks and dirt.)

are we trying to see who or what we are?

what's the rush?

or is this just humans gotta human?

Fake Utility Demon doesn't care what's in the box 

brains are surfing on what they give you for the boxboy 
flowing down the pinball symbol skyway

when you talk about control, first identify what level of control you're thinking of
in the tower
whose number of floors up and down is still uncertain 

you life of a cell 

biology watchers will see the patterns
the same fractals at all scales
maybe you can save the world you beautiful butterfly

when channels you use are co-opted, corrupted, useless 
the best option is moving on
new shoots new roots
what was important is now an impediment



(of your thinking) 



(of your house)



(the yard?)
