#I An introduction to this AK:

We believe that Art may be recreated, used and recycled, if necessary, by a new generation of artists in the widest sense, without being restricted to the use of a specific medium (sounds, shapes, colours, meanings, associations, texts & textures, etc.). This is both a resistance and a creative process. By “preserving” Art in museums and academic shelves, we are desecrating it, confining it and making narcissistic authors where there are only common and shared languages. By recycling it, we keep this human tool alive for ours and future generations. By using it as a humble tool (banner making) to change reality, we alter that reality. By using cheap or free materials and equipments to create Art, we show that Art for all is not just another cliche and empty motto.

Thus we share the same feeling and notion with the Laboratory of Insurrectional Imagination, and Creative Resistances, in that we aim at exploring with our work “the relationship between art and activism .. . We will look at ways that creativity can be applied directly to movements for social and ecological change, (at) live work which does not merely represent a political issue, but is directly confronting and transforming the issue itself.”
