RAMM:ELL:ZEE
P erformance artist RAMMELLZEE ( pronounced RAM-EL-ZEE) personifies your gothic futures. The equation was born in 1979.
GOTHIC FUTURISM An artform based upon the study of the dictionary's language tree combined with "Grimm's Law." Through the form of "INTELLECTUAL HORRORS", it describes prophecies of the "Microcosmic" and "Macrocosmic", in addition to "Ikonoklast Letter Racerism", (TANKS) which are illuminations that aeronautically and aerodynamically weapon-slave the alphabet. The alternative flying of the letter, as opposed to a traditional phonetic utility, renders its neutral essence rather than the common usage as an accessory to human existence, whereas speech is not accessorial to the basic human passion for conception.
Other Experience The RAMM:ELL:ZEE, through various mediums, such as paints on canvas, resin frescoes, drawings, sculptures, carpet and performance art, including literature, lectures, poetry and music, maintains his intellectual factory as a stable foundation for this artistic expression that encompasses "mannerism" and "chiaroscuro".
The raw urbanism portrayed through these disciplines, in conjunction with his mythology, transcends and ascends all eras that have indulged and performed "FUTURES". In other words, this "MECHANIC", (THE RAMM:ELL:ZEE) constructs art in formation of his own government and coverment. Each work of art expressed hereafter is to be recognized as currency, issued and signed by the artist to be evidence of his own Treasury's. As such, said currency maintains a war department for its own protection.
The artist has remained non-emotional throughout the description of this mythology and/or "STOCK" FUTURES due to the apparent militancy of the subject and its potential not in contradiction, but rather as an offering to the futurists and you, a horrific scientific view of the Transverses (universe) reversed from micro to macro. The multiple personalities of the equation, THE RAM:ELL:ZEE performs for science. If this knowledge scared you, the equation is working.
