This summer too, unfortunatly, we'll have a chance to see something unique on the Balkan's. EXIT presents bunch of greedy, selfish beasts, who are acting nice and care 'bout their "admirers" (like they're something worth admireing) and grabing our money, again here in Novi Sad. World eminent names and artists, are coming to our town (where have they been all these years while their fans were dieing and starving?). It's not just 'bout the performers, 'cuz "artists" wouldn't succeed nothing without an organisation.
And who is the organizer? "Umbrella structure which coordinates all activitis and projects of EXIT. EXIT asociation gathers more than a hundred young and inventive professionals from domains of menagment, media, marketing, economy, finances, public relations, sociology, psychology, law, acting, design, literature, music, art, architecture, electro-engineering, communication, new technologies etc." - they say for themselves.
Young and perspective, how come? And what is this professionality all about? Well I must admit that these people are truly perspective and that future is theirs: menagment - ability to control (exploit) work force, resources, nature and life as whole: media - the best tool against the consciousness of an individual and mases, instrument for conditioning, manipulation and submisson: marketing - the art of nonviolent coercing of an individual and/or mases to spend its money-work-life on a product which serves to no one and nothing; economy - the science of greed (ther's even a Koka-Kola stage); finances - manipulating money and "private property" just to gain more profit (greed again); public relations - remember those smiling folks, assureing us that everything is allright, and we have nothing to worry about and just "get back to our work", while this world is slowly dying; sociology - the science of society and mases, necessary for any dictator and ultimatly for any government or ruling elite (to know their enemy); psychology - the best way to find out how to manipulate us (remember Orwell's "1984" and rats); law - the system of ideas and rules which only purpose is (oh irony) to deny any rights or natural laws of a subordinated individual in a society, and to enable the concetration of power, presenting us these circumstances as only moraly, ethicly and only possible, denying any alternative for human society; acting, design, literature, music, art, architecture - remember it's those people who are shootin' 'n' killin' on our "home screens", pulp fiction, "this-season-is-in" pervers and killers, music geniuses with no idea or attitude, who think they've made a great favour to this world if they create something so abstract that no one, not even themselfes, get the point; el-ing, communications, new technologies - I think it's not necessary to explain what potentials offer new technologies and communication (taping, "Star Wars" program, 24-th frame...); etc. - this worryes me, what's behind that etc?
Young and perspective indeed, and the future is theirs. The only problem is that billions won't have a future, but hey, we'll have the opportunity to see "the newest and the best which world music sceen has to offer". Now I understand how quality is a subjective kategory.
How do these "young people" get money, funds, premises, media attention and all other expencive elements (I know of no young person capable of affording something like this)? From our state, or to be exact from our tax money. Our government uses this money (which is needed for some other public services in this poor country), and than we have to pay again to witnes the show. Untill now our government used stupid folk music and dance to advert us from the problems, but since we are preparing to go into Europe, we have to learn to live (and die) the Europian way. We will have to learn how people in the West have fun so they can forget their hungry children, ruined lifes, destruction of the Planet...
This is the appeal to you, your mind and it doesn't conserns just EXIT, but all forms of stupidity and entertainment. Be smarter, act, think, change, infect, organize demos, lectures where inteligent people will have their say. We've got the numbers, unity is all we lack.
