"When the others thought you should be initiated I opposed the idea. I had a good reason: you can bring words out of your mind and put them in paper for all to read. [...] it was because I wanted you to live. I never thought you would make it

THIS PROJECT CONCERNS ONE CENTRAL ASPECT OF THE CONTEMPORARY HUMAN CONDITION: THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW DOMINANT LANGUAGE

A central strategy of colonial domination is the imposition of a dominant language. It fundamentally transforms human brain and mental processes
It is also the means for the oppression and obliteration of alternative ontologies and universes
The dominant language of today's global culture is the digital interface. This is the main means for the dissemination of colonial worlviews and for the consolidation of e-merging forms of social control and exploitation; as well as the imposition technocratic worldviews and sensibilities trough targeted online experiences. Unlike traditional languages, the digital interface is a highly dense, no-linear system of communication.
Deploying advanced technologies, current design practices-its grammar- negatively impact our mental health and social wellbeing actively educing mental harm and addiction, towards the consolidation the information society, a high tech form of neo- feudalism based on granular mind control
The portals ahead open journeys of investigations of this dominant language to unveil its transformative and community-building potentials
