My intention with this resource section is to provide information and links that may be useful to any individual, person or artist looking for encouragement to continue to wage protest against the mechanization of human experience - a world where efficiency, speed, and utility have been prioritized over meaning, where thought and labor are reduced to data, and where technology threatens to flatten the depth of human existence. I claim no ownership over any of these materials, I simply believe in the necessity of sharing these perspectives with those who might find meaning in their messages and strength in their words.

Work, as a system of forced labor and compulsory production, is the source of most human misery and should be replaced by voluntary, playful, and creative activities that produce useful results while being enjoyable in themselves.

In Defense of the Poor Image by Hito Steyerl
Poor images - those blurry, compressed, endlessly shared digital copies - aren't just degraded versions of better originals, but embody their own form of validity, creating new ways of thinking about what makes an image valuable beyond technical perfection.

Perhaps Culture is Now the Counterculture by Leon Wieseltier
As society becomes obsessed with technology, numbers, and quick answers, choosing to deeply engage with art, literature, and human questions becomes a radical act of defiance.

Preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Art, as Wilde positions it, creates a realm of pure symbolic form where meaning is transformed into beauty, suggesting that artistic expression operates in its own semantic space, independent of practical or moral concerns.
