The media shaman is among us
As young man and young woman, urban native or sound alchemist, editor, geneticist, software designer or hacker, cybernaut, conceptual artist, organizer or trance- and performance dancer, stage designer, editorial journalist or graphic artist, director, musician, psychotherapist, system-disintegrating poet, entertainer, healer and much more.
The media shaman relies on copy-art and on the duplicating of discs, audio and video tapes, videos and digital messages, as well as the unhindered proliferation of information itself.
The media shaman is part of the cyberculture network in which subcultural alternative music, movies, poetry, media art as well as other formats of art and performance projects are published and offered.
He and she are recognizing the fundamental influence news outlets and other media have when it comes to creating enemy images, fearmongering and scarcity mindsets within the societal structure – currently characterized by the perverted usage of psychological knowledge in advertising.
Through the synergy of art, ritual and consciousness changing technologies the media shaman utilizes diverse tools and strategies in order to create and spread the „frequency of truth“, i.e. the advancement of tribal bonds, mental hygiene and healing.
The media shaman uses technological and archaic means as tools for reality experiments, in order to hack and decode linear reality, to 'update' the old image of the world and to undermine the systemic fear- and controlmatrix through his audio-visual molotov cocktails, literary viruses and powerful memes.
The media shaman uses highly technological as well as outdated methods to deeply move himself and others, in order to communicate with the forces of chaos and nature itself.
The media shamans are on a vision quest for unhindered and clear communication with „matter“, be it within the realm of semicondutors or the organic world of chaos-dragon Earth.
The media shaman digitalizes timeless wisdom, ancient tribal knowledge, form and symbol, ritual, naked bodies, whale songs, dreams, dances and visions into tape recorders, film- and video cameras, as well as into computers, speakers and monitors all over the Earth – through the world wide web.
The media shamans are cartographing and measuring the invisible landscapes of hyperdimensional realms of the imagination and are actively helping in offering new designer realities, spiritual frameworks and know-how, potential upcoming paradigms as well as theories of possible future worlds.
The media shaman studies his brain and learns to utilize his neuronal wetware by projecting the infinite possibilities and models of technological networks unto the inner space of body and consciousness so that the stored and saved inner knowledge within the individual and the collective can be reactivated incrementally.
The media shamans are laying blueprints for the self-educating citizenry world-wide, models and perspectives in order to use media technology within the Earthly village towards a spiritual daily schedule and to restore the mental connection to their own, as well as to the shared spirit of cosmos and Earth, of which they are a self-aware component.
The media shaman acts, instead of reacting.
As active and aware part of the reality event, the media shaman is equipped with any and all tools, to turn the spectacle... into an oracle.

I naturally posted the same English transcript underneath this same video on my youtube channel
I am the original author of this work.
Translation, dub, visuals, music and production created by me, Paradigm Prospector.
As stated in the video, this work is based on a German script from the 1990's, made by D.O.P.E.C. - the Doors Of Perception Ethic Committe & Pyromania Arts Foundation
As noted on their website:

This is not a 1:1 translation, but has been updated and reworded slightly in order to accomodate recent trends in technology as well as emergent developments in media-capabilities since 1997.
