What if Statement

What if in 250 years from now, a vast majority of society has become desensitized, detached, and consumed by the effects of rapidly rising technology?

Project Description

¡Despierta! is a collective born from the urgency to address our deepening entrenchment in digital realms and capitalist motives. It’s a call to action, a movement championing authentic human connections and community strength over techno-consumerism and clickbait capitalism. Envisioned as a global force, ¡Despierta! seeks to establish urban sanctuaries, providing respite from the digital space and capitalist demands. These spaces offer a chance to recalibrate and rediscover life’s core values. ¡Despierta! is our pathway to authenticity, challenging a profit-over-humanity world, compelling society to pause, reflect, and genuinely awaken.
