about

"I Enjoy the World is the second installment of the Myth and Prosthesis series, a reflection on the relationship between body, mind, reality, technology, politics and culture. It is the result of an experiment I did over six months, which consisted on the use of different technologies of the self: sexual repression / excess, virtual disconnection / hyper-connection, and fasting / psychoactive overstimulation, as ways of recovering mysticism as a form of resistance and agency. I wanted to re-interpret mysticism outside of the monopoly of official religions, ancestralisms, or new age. I understand mysticism and mythology as a subversive relationship between body, mind, technology and reality. Our dreams, mind / bodies and altered states are arguably the most important negotiation arena these days. Capitalism is developing an extremely effective set of prostheses / new technologies and virtual worlds / social media to control that negotiation arena: a cognitive capitalism. I am interested in re-coding mysticism and myth to use them as way to escape the fields of meaning of capitalism. To create a personal mythology and my own prostheses, outside of the insidious dynamics imposed by new technologies and social media. This is intended to be listened to entirely in one sitting, in a meditative context, preferably in the dark." - Efraín Rozas
