I often try to guide myself into a compass-lacking image's digital ecosystem, or what is more and more resembling an online visual culture purgatory.

My social media feeds are usually leaning to please personal obsessions for cute aesthetics, but during 2021's bombing of Gaza, Tik Tok algorithm put unprecedented effort in delivering a large quantitie of IDF soldiers lip sync videos, performing an unconventional nationalist propaganda across lewd and waifu aesthetics, kitty ears helmets and perfectly refined nails embracing assault rifles.

The overproduction of self-imagery, the hypersexualization of militarism and kawaii commodified fetishism are developing an elusive perceptive reframing of violence, cuteness embedded in extremism.

The virtual space, already flooded by ASMR, #fyp, challenges and other amenities are merged with Army official accounts manufacturing and perpetrating old ideologies on the latest digital platforms.

The current state of the art unfolds a reckless descent towards a quasi-irreversible semantic shortcircuit.

The intersection between tenderness and violence is getting rapidly unsettling. It becomes increasingly difficult to explain but clearer to visually represent that paradoxical and gloomy interconnection.

The ‘75 Tbps of ( ω ) ✿◠ ◠ ︻╦╤─’ politigram is the result of a grotesque at times disturbingly realistic experimentation of remixing imaginaries that are emerging but reluctant to be filed under our usual taxonomies : on the horizon stands the rise of a new alien planet, whose physical laws alternate tensions between human rights violations and OnlyFans streamers, unboxing and sniping, #pewpew and #militarycurves, war and ahegao.
