About
“FUCK GLAM – FREE TEKNO!” was spotted on a flyer/poster for a free party and used as a slogan referring to the anti-mainstream, get-your-hands-dirty, and DIY attitudes of freetekno friends and supporters.
A little PIN:KSOX flair was added for a screen print design and FUK:GLAM appeared on many t-shirts and accessories at freetekno parties making it the anti-brand representing the screen printing, skill sharing, and DIY style appreciated by the freetekno community.
This annoying but informational video explains the historical, cultural, and technical meaning of glamour and how it is used to manipulate and deceive perceptions of reality. Not always a bad thing necessarily, but reality is much more interesting and fulfilling.
Desire for “transcending”, perfection, purity, or at least something other than what we’ve got only gives us reason to be unhappy with what we can have. Having control of your perspective is having control of your reality.
If you are going to appreciate something glamourous, and we all do… be it fashion, lifestyle, ideas, material possessions, etc… consider all the effort, dedication, passion, time, and hard work that goes into making it possible because that is where its true value lies (personal and perceived).
Fuk unattainable utopias or ideals.
Fuk the awe of impossibility, enjoy “the cords of life”, the process, and the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Fuk idolizing perfection… because you know it isn’t real.
FUK:GLAM
