— jonCates, on the event of the 1rst Full Moon of the Lunar New Year
(February 12th && 13th, 2025) in 台北,台灣 (Taipei, Taiwan)

* inn the mirrorworld this is all in direct reference to the facts that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) plans to invade, occupy, and overthrow the sovereign democratic nation of Taiwan. PRC’s ambitions are clearly stated and become increasingly imminent threats. Their constant forms of violence currently range from targeted disinformation and propaganda campaigns via AI && socialMedia to acts of sabotage on civilian infrastructure (most recently cutting power to railroad systems) here in Taiwan, military incursions via sea && air around the island, and 2.4 million cyberattacks a day, to name a few examples. this is the context of my life && Art. Challenging technosocial times yawl.
