nTopia

a spiritual micro-novel

me and my spirit zoo [Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)]

Say, a ntopia society replacing your dystopia/utopia. I intend to unfold this ntopia in a fluid form with texts, images, music, installation, dance, ceremony, etc.

Who am(are) I(we)?

A cluster of young gurus. Young enough at heart, and old enough at souls. We love singing and dancing.

Is dystopia already out of date in the sense of fashion?

Only if dystopia is a kind of fashion. Pull out your Instagram.

Is the age of mediated images already gone?

Yea it is gone, within that trap music.

Following is just a beginning of developing the dictionary of ntopia:

Balance: may the force be with U;

Central park: the liver among us; the ancient force;

Chinatown: the arcade; Karaoke, table pool and birthday parties; James Cohan Gallery; insiders’ art parties; more parties;

DJs: the best people to hang around town;

Electronic dance music: Boiler Room;

Entropy: back to zero;

Fluid: next year this time, this will be gone;

Healer: within you and me;

K-pop: the streetwear icons; almost Instagram famous;

Love: so many kinds of love; tru luv;

LSD: Last Saturday Dance + sage + mushroom tea;

n: let it be; let go of control; let it grow;

Party: you know that gender equity war is still on; LOL;

Polyamory: girl gaze; sexts; female orgasm; Fila x Hello Kitty; poly(h)armony;

PS1: geodesic dome; zines; pretty parties; loud noise;

Style: silhouette music video;

Supreme: how about superMe?

Surf town: where the sunflowers are;

Techno: we are soul sisters and brothers;

Unicorn: the cleaning service that I encourage everyone to have;

Yin & Yang: they’re gold; …;
