Revised Manifesto

We've had a few setbacks this week so we had to alter our plans for the manifesto a bit. We were thinking of making three books - the first would be a text only typewritten book of the manifesto (an early copy that our creatures may have come across?), the second would be a scrapbook/ collage interpretting the first book using just one colour risograph printing - fun and rough and the third would be a scientific beautiful book studying amoeba and subtley looking at things liek creativity etc in the amoebas, taking a step back this would use circles (like the ones from old scientific documents showing cells etc) for the images and would be risograph printed in two colours.

The revised verison of this plan is to make just two books - the first one the same as the previous plan and the second one similar to the previous plan but using the idea of circles (that multiply and expand like amoebas) to hold the images and it will be a two colour risograph print (images one colour and text another). In this revised version we have also edited our manifesto text.

Here is the edited version!

INDIVIDUALLY, WE ARE A DELICATE INSTRUMENT, TOGETHER, WE ENDOW YOU WITH LIFE. 


WE ARE MADE FROM THE LIVING MATERIAL OF OF ALL THINGS. 

WE HAVE LIVED FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.

WE HAVE COME TO REALISE THE THINGS WE VALUE IN LIFE AND THE BEST WAY TO PROGRESS AS LIVING THINGS. iN OUR SOCIETY WE VALUE WELL BEING, COMPANY, PROGRESS, COMMUNICATION. WE HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS GATHERING KNOWLEDGE FROM THE WORLD TO TEACH US HOW TO LIVE BY THESE VALUES.
