Who's the Bomb?

You Are!

And, now that you know, you'll never need to ask again. All you need to know is this: you are whatever you choose, and no one can take that from you. Your imagination extends beyond the capabilities of any attack against it. And any other belief must be set aside (or better yet, exploded). This is what the symbol of the glitterbomb stands for.
GlitterBomb is about becoming who you are by simply being who you are meant to be, without regard to convention or what others may believe. Any belief that exists outside of you will, by nature, never reveal the truth of who you are.
You are always becoming who you are, if you are becoming what you have determined for yourself, by yourself. And have no illusions about your role among others. You do not need to do what you are doing everyday, you only need do what is right for you. And by doing so, your life becomes an art. Be, then, art! And, be free!

Where is much of the "priceless" art, created throughout history? In the unapproachable homes of the wealthy (for one). We are "small" without such artful examples, which teach us of our greatness. And, why does this minority (the wealthy) deserve to decide what price for which, or when and if humanity can access the artforms that teach us about our greatest thoughts and emotions—the works that assist us in a process of growth and perhaps transcendence? Could it be that the wealthy are afraid of being "small" like everyone else? Why else would governments and individuals employ what is collectively the largest and most brutal military organization on earth? To protect their ability to oversee the determination of the value of creations—works of art, included. Police forces across the world are, in large part, employed and empowered to protect wealth—not the individual. In the name of grossly disporportionate wealth, hundreds of women and men are brutalized every day, by the police states surrounding wealth.
What artist would hand over that power to the mechanisms of capital? What artist would but love the idea of free exchange? Can anyone who criticizes the mode of file-sharing networks like the old Napster, Kaaza, Freenet, and others (despite the ultimate motivations of the organizations who design these tools) understand art, much less be an artist?
It's time that artists take art back to the people. This begins by taking the "value" away from art, and giving it back to the artists, who can then give art freely. Support the artists you know in every way you can, or you can expect a world where people never learn to drop the boundaries that make them "different" from other people. Art blurs the line. And with enough art, there will be no line. It's time for a world without boundaries. It's time to explode the myth of "difference." Let art and artists ignite.
