UNITED SLAVES OF AMERICA

Sound bites of USA

Passing trough from friend to friend, old and new

our silent thoughts...

The United Slaves of America

United Slaves of Advertisments

Living each one on their own

Private liberty cubes

Little bit happy
Not much positive

Is there such a thing 

as Liberty Dynasty?

Worse president ever 

...he may feel
blood drops 

over billboards

Fun fair over crosses

Family's weekend walk through death

Sunbathing in the cemetery 

with cardboard movie stars

This is not America
Is this Iraq?

Razor wire flag

Free fee

Shopping navy widow

Yellow submarine, yellow shopping trolley

Debt nation
Detonation

Fractal suburb
Jungled home
Jungled office
Jungled factory
Jungled city

Romantic future

VOID NETWORK IN AFRICA [report from travelling in Burkina Faso]]

It was nice rainy month here, a lot of new contacts, visions and ideas.

I never met more happy, cheerful, helpful and hospitable people than the Burkina be.
One month is not enough for sure to get know this country and the real hard lifestyle here, 
not even to get used to it, but I am happy that I could come here at all.

We visited project for street children, nursery school in one poor village, national parks, ghettos in Ouaga, lived 3 days in a local families ,went to reggae pubs, markets, artists quarter, discos  and took part in the meetings with local officials and anti-capitalist international forum.

The streets of Ouagadogou were flooded couple of times because of the rain, and I survived after riding motorcycle here which is dangerous experience.

Misery here is a lifestyle anyway, if you are not used to it after the 2 days, better go back home.

The young people here are open to learn a lot about our lives and experience but are careful with taking every proposition of change as reasonable and good for them

 I can completely understand their scepticism because here it is full of rich
white people (by the way called by the locals "NASARAS" which means "white-skinned, a word which was used in the colonialist times here), they shop in the expensive supermarkets and explain to the local Africans how the should use their water resources efficiently,  build housesand streets properly, make their business profit correctly, make their education better.

EXACTLY THE THINGS                                                                                          THAT WE KNOW FROM EXPEREINCE                                                               THAT EUROPEANS CAN DO BADLY.

The cultural and political differences between the European people and the localers are enormous.

It is both difficult for us to understand the local situation but also for the Burkina be to jump for seconds in 21 century EUROPEAN CAPITALIST REALITY!

We cannot understand why they like to have new mobile phones and buy cool clothes, why they admire the life we hate...
And they are curious how our society is still functioning while women and men supposed to be equal and homosexuality is tolerated.

They want to come to live, work and study in Europe, we want to stay and travel longer in Africa.
They believe their life will be better in Europe; we hopelessly try to explain to them that it might be just a bad dream.
They scare the Racism of the Europeans against the Africans, we scare the humiliation of the women rights in Africa.
They are angry that we can come whenever we want to their country, we are ungry that our governments are fascist totalitarianism preparing a metal fortress to close us in....

 WE ARE SO DIFFERENT but                                                                                         IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR FREEDOM!

 WE ARE ON THE RIGHT WAY                                                                                    when WE MEET AND TALK ABOUT OUR COMMON NEW FUTURE…

WE HAVE ENOUGH COMMON STRUGGLES…

WE ALL NEED TIME…

WE ALL WANT TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE…

WE ALL WANT ANOTHER REALITY…

WE ALL DREAM, LOVE AND CRY…

WE ARE ALL TIRED AND CONFUSED SOMETIMES…

WE ALL NEED REAL FRIENDS AROUND US…

WE ALL WANT THAT "WE" IS REALLY EXISTING…

WE ALL SEARCH OUR IDENTITY,

CHASE OUR GOALS

AND

EXPECT

 SOMETHING

Consisting flash backs of psychedelic experiences and collective Joy, the beauty of Planet Earth, the vision of Love, Spiritual Revolution, Friendship and Ecstatic Life the film UTOPIAN ATMOSPHERES takes you in a long trip of poetry, electronic psychedelic ambient and space rock.

Directed by Void Optical Art Laboratory
Poetry:
Void Network Laboratory
for Kosmo-Political Consciousness
Music:
Carbon Based Lifeforms, Pink Floyd, Etnica, Man With No Name, Enterpise

This specific "short mix trailer edition" is based on images from the completed film and features the wonderful Pink Floyd anthem Astronomy Domine written by Syd Barret
The short mix trailer edition, as also the completed film, is trying to offer visibility to the uncut silver magical string that connects the 60s psychedelia with the acid trance psychedelic rave scene, the Nimbin alternative lifestyle village in Australia (that where basic images of the film comes from), the trance festivals, the ecovillages, the Rainbow Gatherings, the illegal raves and all the drop-out neo-hippies travelers of the world. This film is dedicated to them.
