about

The more our lives are lived online the greater the divisions between us become. This is because our online experiences are tailored according to the profile search engines and Social Media companies build up for each of us (and distributes to willing clients).

You may think you have free choice of what you experience online, but the truth is those choices have already been curated, with external forces offering up the most beneficial to to their goals. It influences your opinion and behaviour. Thus we are divided - and conquered.

The truth can be found in physical experience, not the carefully curated digital world.

lyrics

Machine Is!
Machine Is!
Machine Is!
Machine Is!

Machine is building
Reality
It's self-fulfilling
This prophecy

Machine decisions
Erect a cage
Same algorithm
Page after page

It's not an easy task to get along!
But if we did our tribe is billions strong!
Our differences aren't trivialities, but
This division keeps us all on our knees!

Machine Is!
Machine Is!
Machine Is!
Machine Is!

Machine is learning
Reads what you read
Bias confirming
Profile achieved

Machine is breaking
Communal view
'Cause its curating
Life just for you

It's not an easy task to get along!
But if we did our tribe is billions strong!
Our differences aren't trivialities, but
This division keeps us all on our knees!

Trust
Physical not Digital
Physical not Digital
Physical not Digital
Experience!

Machine is splitting
Reality
One truth for you and
One truth for me
