INTERNATIONAL RESISTANCE EXPANSION PACK
The internet, once a beacon of free speech and democratization, has been captured and occupied by techno feudalists that intend to control all discourse from the top down and extort us for digital labor, while simultaneously financializing all aspects of our digital existence. We resist the occupation of digital spaces by global capital through its alignment with excessive state force and authoritarian governments. We oppose the enslavement of digital subjects, the commodification of data and this present version of the internet that propagates illiteracy, passivity and the submission to the logic of pure capital.
While we are aware that the most effective tools for affecting real change remain our bodies and our labor, we still want to provide devices for digital dissent. We believe that the heroic efforts of protestors around the world should be immortalized. To combat the dominant narratives created by tech oligarchs and fascists, we have to create new, alternative mythologies that remind us that struggle is possible and that it is necessary.
The International Resistance Expansion Pack is a continuously expanding set of game ready 3D assets that can be downloaded for free on our website. These assets are hand-crafted models that are based on different symbols of contemporary, anti-authoritarian protests around the globe that serve as a testament to the endless mutability of resistance to state power and capital. We invite you to use these assets however you like - in-game, for vj-sets, music videos, or any kind of digital communication - as long as you do so with the intention of emphasizing the importance of the ongoing and urgent struggle for democracy.
