"In the last days of October, 2012, I was in New York City with my dear friend Nina Colosi - founder and curator of the Streaming Museum - when, suddenly, I had the idea to make a new project together. It should be something in a planetary scale, joining artists, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, poets and philosophers from all over the world. Immediately The End of the World appeared in my mind. It is possible that in the future this idea will be understood as something absurd. The truth is that the environment of a worldwide depression, repeatedly denied by various governments, of the shadows of war, of the anti-Semitism, of all kinds of prejudices, of the fact that often we have watched ignorance and superficiality elevated to the standard of "good behavior", and the hyper continuous consumption and entertainment of all kinds, created an almost mystical sensation about a possible end of the world. To this we could add the Mayan Calendar that set the 21st of December of 2012 as the fateful date of a certain type of civilization or, accordingly to the most pessimistic, of everything that is human.
Initially, the idea was to assemble all received material using stochastic principles, without any intention of content. Then I decided to also make, separately, something like an individual presentation of the works. Before I started receiving the collaborations, I composed a concert that I titled The End of the World. Operating, in some sense, like the ancient Roman god Janus, the musical piece has two parts that can be performed simultaneously or not. The first part operates several television sets with randomly selected channels. The path between the various channels follows a diagram drawn on a map of satellite and objects in orbit of planet Earth. The second part of the concert operates selections of the most popular music hits over the last ten years - between 2002 and 2012 - in many countries, like the United States, Italy, Brazil, Israel, South Korea, Japan, Russia, France, Germany and Australia among others. The path between these selections, like what happens in the first part of the piece, also follows a diagram drawn on the same map of elements floating in Earth orbit. The assembly of all material received obeyed to some principles: firstly, the alphabetical order of the authors and, then, a distribution according to the vigesimal numeral principle that characterized the formulation of the Mayan calendar. From there, random elements enabled the overlap of all materials, constituting, in its complex, a stochastic project. There is not, in the edition of all these works, any personal or intentional interference. So, it is very curious - to say the least - to observe its construction: it was made by everybody.
The End of the World starts on the 21st of December, in 2012, by the Streaming Museum in New York. Later, other developments may happen. But everything will be a surprise for all of us." (Emanuel Melo di Pimenta)
