<nettime> CURRENT SCREENSAVER: Boryana Rossa, ULTRAFUTURO /ULTRAFUTURO Manifesto/


Dear nettimers!

40 Years of the Cyborg and the Betrayed Generation. Where Did We Go Wrong? Presenting the Strike of Ultrafuturism.


ScreenSaverGallery presents a series of songs based on the ULTRAFUTURO Manifesto, which is the text formulated by Rossa and Oleg Mavromatti as the artistic and political program for the ULTRAFUTURO collective. The Manifesto addresses themes of human-machine symbiosis and the necessity of overcoming obsolete cultural formats. In the form of musical compositions, the Manifesto becomes a performative act: each launch of the screensaver triggers one of the songs, thus reopening the possibility of hearing a radical vision of the future where boundaries between humans and technology are redefined. The absence of a visual component focuses attention exclusively on the voice, text, and rhythm, functioning as a direct appeal.


2025 marks 40 years since Donna Haraway imprinted the Cyborg Manifesto onto the collective consciousness – a text meant to disrupt binary domination and pave the way for a new, hybrid subjectivity by making the biological and cyborg foundations of our bodies apparent. Today, however, we bitterly admit: nothing of the sort has happened. Haraway’s irony and subversion, chosen as tools of liberation, became mere sustenance for the processes of the Informatics of Domination. It is into this breach that the musicalized manifesto enters, not as an affirmation or celebration of the cyborg concept, but as its radicalization with a battle cry.
