A letter to the Multiverse from the Datrium Consortium.

 

Greetings,

Here on our little blue planet, as recently as five hundred years ago, the majority of “civilized” people believed that if you walked or swam far enough in any direction you would eventually find yourself in a cascading freefall of stuff, into the nether worlds of an unwelcome darkness… We also believed that the sun revolved around the earth and that human flight was impossible.

Less than a hundred years ago, Television and Rockets to space were ideas of fiction.  The internet was a fairytale.

Now, all these ideas are accepted as fundamentals in the reality of our daily experience.

So, here we are celebrating the great work of civilization and our human empire has once again reached a pinnacle in its maturation. The “miracles” we once treasured as marvels of the scientific revolution are now falling short of their promises of a brave new world. The inventions once put in motion to set man free have now trapped us more than ever.  We find our technologies (from the religious to the electronic) tethering us to an outdated and collapsing paradigm.

Like you, we found ourselves asking… “Well, what are we supposed to do next?”

Some of us came to this out of necessity.   
Some of us out of boredom.
Some of us out of the desperation of our frighteningly empty lives.


…All of us came to realize that whatever we did, we wanted more significant nonsense and extraordinary fun.

Whatever the catalyst, we found ourselves ill at ease with the current debt based socio-economic governing system. Each of us has been called… called to leap off the couch and venture into the unknown.

It’s not enough to sit and watch the world on the Discovery Channel, we wanted to be in it. We wanted to juice the nectar of the world’s fruit and taste all of its colors. We were tired of feeling like outsiders looking in at our own lives.  So we jumped the fence of the establishment and found ourselves wandering around the planet acquiring information from anyone that would share.

We found ourselves deep in forest canopies practicing thousand year old ceremonies with other-world Shamans…

We found ourselves in vast deserts sweating in pulsing domes, listening to higher dimensions turned into music…

We found ourselves in small groups paying large amounts of money to absorb lectures about physics or philosophy, learning techniques to expand our view of the universe…

We found ourselves crying in theaters, watching poetry emerge in the grander and grander scales of cinema and performance art…

Yet, most of the time we found ourselves alone… wanting so desperately to share what we had learned with someone. Anyone…

Not so long ago, we began to find each other.  Over many late night talks, coffee shop brainstorms, psychedelic journeys and terrifying confrontations with our fears, a way became clear for us to express what we love of what we’ve learned.

 

And so… The Datrium Motif emerged. 

On May 16th, 2009 Datrium invites you to our pilot event, “Cocoon.”

It will be a night of radical participation in Indigenous Ceremony woven together with intellect-smashing lectures, awe-inspiring theatre, and heart-detonating music.  A planetary “best of” in a reproducible, easy to access, completely inclusive celebration for the entire family.

We have visions of this happening over and over again, from living rooms to football stadiums. We will pirate signals from every dimension and broadcast them here. So that you might take it and make it your own.  It does not belong to us.  It belongs to everyone.  We see this evolved form of entertainment and connection spreading across the world, connecting all peoples and projecting them into the infinitely expanded version of themselves.

Ghandi implored us to “Become the change we want to see in the world.” That is what we choose to do.  It is a world that John Lennon called us to when he asked us to Imagine.  A world where all you really need is… Love.  It has to start somewhere… what better place than here? (Thank you Zack)
