21st Century Life

We seem to be living in an time where our own emotions and natural biological processes have become synthesized and mass marketed. Adverts on the television suggest that we need assistance in order to live functional lives, despite the adverse effects that we may encounter from their products. This product may cause nausea, but fear not...we have something to help you with that as well!

What ultimately becomes the most disturbing is the fact that we are aware of the pitfalls of our new (accepted) chemical dependencies, but we still make them routine. Maybe we all perceive the ends as justifying the means; maybe real emotions are not worth feeling and thus their chemical sublimation becomes a welcome gift instead of a hindrance.

The human condition is an outdated notion, full of contradiction.

Welcome to the era of the new Chemical Generation.
