THE DAYS BEFORE THE REBELLION

Dripping with the sting of static, charged with the intensity of the fallen masses, the future hangs in a daze. But these days before the rebellion, are rumbling in their silence. Electricity is pulsing beneath the glass tower.

EryThRic and Laurence Fuller come together in “THE DAYS BEFORE THE REBELLION” with this new vehicle for storytelling Poetic Cinematic Fine Art.

“A stark vision of humanity’s oncoming plight, with the intensity of a young Ridley Scott. Collaborating with EryThRic is like watching time being folded as a piece of sketch paper. At one edge lies our burgeoning relationship with Artificial Intelligence, and at the other edge, a not-so-distant future where technology has evolved into being. In between, there is a vast sea of subconscious thought with tentacles reaching into every facet of history and fact. These manifestations take form in physical space, coexisting with our world and its biology. Like Frankenstein standing on metal toes at the precipice of science and God, we explore the mysteries of human capabilities and limits, pushing beyond the boundaries of what we once deemed possible. Will this experiment be discarded in the scrapyards of the future? Will we encounter an abyss? Or, like the historical flux we have witnessed thus far, are we destined to rise and fall again and again?” – Laurence Fuller

These three artworks, gliding over the dark future illuminated by the pure white light remaining in the shadows, were created with the awareness of many conflicts that the past could not cover.

INERTIA

The story of the transformation of the human being, who became a robot in the deceptive stops of technology, to inaction with his lost integrity.

STRIFE

The story of the scream of individuals who have a sigh against the norms of that day at a stop in the dark future.

TREAD

The story of taking steps on how to get out of self-domination on the steps of getting out of being devastated with technology.

INERTIA

“STARK GEOMETRIC LINES,
INTERSECTING, COLD AND GRAY,
AN EMPTY MONUMENT,
OF MODERNITY ON DISPLAY.

MARBLE AND STEEL GLEAM,
IN THE HORIZONLESS CONCOURSE,
DESERTED AND VACANT,
A SILENT, LONELY FORCE.

REMINDERS TO CONSUME,
BELLOW INTO THE VOID,
AS EMPTY CORRIDORS,
LEAD TO NOWHERE, DEVOID.

AUTOMATED ANNOUNCEMENTS,
CLIPPED AND LIFELESS SOUND,
DATA SCREENS STREAMING,
SILENT PROPHECIES ABOUND.

THE ARRIVALS, RELENTLESS,
WHOOSH AND RUMBLE THROUGH,
DEBOUCHING INTO NOTHINGNESS,
AS THEY BID US ADIEU.

AMID THE GLASSTOWERED RAGE,
OF A MORNING AWAKENING,
A LONE FIGURE LIES,
ON A BENCH, FACE DOWN, PUNCTURING.

HIS SKIN AGAIN MARKED,
NO ONE TO OFFER AID,
IN THIS MONUMENT TO PROGRESS,
WHERE HUMANITY SEEMS TO FADE.” – ERYTHRIC

STRIFE

“IN THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL, I FEEL
A PROFOUND SENSE OF EMPTINESS AND PAIN
AS IF THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS APPEAL
AND NOTHING CAN FILL THE VOID AGAIN

I AM NO HERO, JUST A FLAWED HUMAN BEING
WITH A HEART FULL OF DARKNESS AND DESPAIR
MY ACTIONS ARE NOT GUIDED BY A HIGHER MEANING
BUT BY A DESIRE TO ESCAPE AND NOT TO CARE

THE WORLD IS A PRISON, FULL OF SUFFERING AND STRIFE
AND WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS, WAITING FOR RELEASE
YET, WE CLING TO LIFE, LIKE A SHIPWRECKED SAILOR TO A KNIFE
HOPING FOR A GLIMPSE OF LIGHT, A MOMENT OF PEACE

ERYTHRIC SPOKE OF THE WILL, THAT FORCE WITHIN US ALL
THAT DRIVES US FORWARD, BUT NEVER TRULY SATISFIES
IT’S A HUNGER THAT CAN NEVER BE FULLY STALLED
AN INSATIABLE DESIRE THAT NEVER DIES

I AM AN ANTIHERO, A REBEL AGAINST THE NORM
I REJECT THE SHALLOW VALUES OF THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN
MY SOUL IS TORN, MY SPIRIT FORLORN
BUT I WILL NOT BE SILENCED, I WILL NOT GIVE IN

FOR IN MY DARKEST MOMENTS, I FIND A GLIMMER OF HOPE
A SPARK OF REBELLION THAT REFUSES TO DIE
AND IN THAT MOMENT, I AM NO LONGER ALONE
BUT PART OF A MOVEMENT, A COLLECTIVE SIGH

SO LET US RISE UP, LIKE THE ANTIHEROES WE ARE
AND FIGHT AGAINST THE INJUSTICES OF THIS WORLD
FOR THOUGH WE MAY NOT BE GUIDED BY A STAR
WE CAN STILL CREATE CHANGE, WITH OUR FLAGS UNFURLED.” – ERYTHRIC
