My voice is born in the uterus of a rebellious heart; the moist womb where the dream emerges of ceaseless change and the triumph of diversity.

I'm enchanted by the future and believe in a post-human tomorrow: the hybrid realities between the worlds of flesh and the virtualities of electrical blood, floating cities populated by cybernetic hermaphrodites and intergalactic psychonauts, a realm of consciousnesses united in a single library of the Overmind.

Individuality is a quality of protest. I advocate giving up on simulation and neurotic illusions, on boot-licking and brown-nosing, on subservience and comfy cells, on pretence and the absolute collective, on the world of whispering corpses and medusa-like people.

I believe that we can be together only because we are different.

I say YES to forbidden ideas and audacious daredevils who look into the darkness, into the jaws of shadowy chimaeras, and into unknown lands where dragons roam.

Society thinks of independent travellers as renegades, perverts and freaks. But perverts are creatures in the triumph of mutation, the sacred process of evolution as a never-ending transformation into new manifestations. They mount ships heading for islands cloaked in societal fears and taboos.

The path of the independent traveller is the path of bold experience. It is the fight between Eros and Thanatos, the answer to the chthonic call, a spiritualistic opposition in the name of those who would rather live than imitate. It is a rebellion of progressive dreamers against agents of regress: government archons, religious hypocrites, the holy fathers of prudery and star snatchers striving to preserve a uniform world of obedients.

Information is born free and is the flesh of knowledge.
Information exchange is the primary imperative.
Knowledge, fantasies and dreams are the AIDS which I hurry to contract and spread.
The internet is the No.1 copying machine.

I believe in the experience benefactor and hold experience as the basis for enlightenment.
I don't believe in talking snakes and kosher zombies.
I believe in the Universe as a demiurge and that everyone is part of the whole.
Everything is interrelated and one. There is no good. There is no evil.

Any ignorant primitive who anthropomorphizes the idea of the life-creating Universe by describing it as a hierarchical corporation of so-called gods, is dangerously insane. Nevertheless, I find no reason to fight icons, for nothing is behind them.

Let the gardens of radical art practice and unrestrained intellectual impudence bloom; pornography is to be demarginalised, the churches are to be converted into virtual reality clubs; prostitution, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, abortion and magical substances opening the gates to wondrous new worlds are to be legalised; the web is to be ubiquitous.

I believe in technomagic and digital spirituality. I dream of organic spacecraft and the colonisation of new galaxies, orgies of stars and circle-dances of iron planets, cities on Venus and the roaring laughter of laser mantises, the citizens of the Sun. I believe in a love affair between man and machine and in the approaching of the point of technical singularity.

Nothing is forbidden, everything is possible.

After my death, I want to become the Hubble telescope.

ACTIVITY

As civil activist, he had read aloud Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer in the Ukraine Supreme Council (at the Roundtable of Morals Commission) and made a naked walk at the poetry festival for «de-sacralization and de-tabooisation of genitals as something that is obscene and placed outside of so-called "high-culture"».
