Introducing myself

Hello fellow aliens, my name is Barabeke, I am an Italian artist active in the cryptoart scene.

As many of you I have a feeling of "not belonging" in this hysterical hypercommercial world. Art for me is not just a happy refuge but also an attempt to transform the world by blowing the wind of change and inspire new times. How? For example with this, my new project 🙂

I won't get too much into details, I'd like to keep this introduction short and sweet.

I have been around, operating online only (or almost) since 2006, mostly doing "for art's sake", as a natural urge. I have only recently started to look into exhibiting and selling.

Most of my visual works consist in blending ordinary pictures I take with my iPhone in wild ways, without any hand drawing involved, creating with reality as we see it a new reality of psychic and archetypal nature. The essence of my craft can be grasped in my transmutations series, here is an example (available on knownorigin.io)

My Mona Lisa is also a transmutation. I have already used her on a cool installation in collaboration with El Geko, also a member of Alien Art Hive. Here you can see a video of it.

Visual art is just part of my craft. My three revelations are for me fundamental artistic acts which stand at the roots of my creativity as they are (at least in part) the source of my inspiration.

I am also a "very late beat poet", as I like to define myself. My poetry is mostly in Italian but my Ode to Iphone, defined as "a psychedelic zoo of digital antics", is available in English.

Last but not least I am also an intuitive healer. I have been trained in qi gong, reiki, shamanism, hypnotherapy (including past life regression and spirit release) and NLP, and had the luck to have some truly remarkable teachers. I also do tarot reading in the style of Jodorowsky, but I do none of these things as a profession.

I used to define myself as "obscure Italian artist", but the times are changing and are calling me to manifest more brightly. They are calling me to mingle, and to pursue luck in the world of art. My newborn son made me ask myself how I would like him to remember his dad. The answer was "as an artist".

Thank you for having me in your beautiful community, one of the few in the crypto art scene that is not mostly about commerce/selling. I like "different" people like you! 😊

Feel free to connect and get in touch, I am mostly active on twitter nowadays but I am loving Hive. It's so hard to keep up with all this innovation sprouting, but so exciting at the same time!

Dear new member of HIVE, you have made a big mistake by signing up here. Here on this Blockchain you are surrounded by abuse of power and the greed of some who determine what happens here.

If you publish here, make sure that you publish only what is beneficial to the owners of the assets on HIVE. You must never express your own opinion or criticize anyone. If you do, the powerful will destroy your account and take every cent from you.

You will soon find out that you only earn a few cents here. Others, on the other hand, sometimes get extremely rich. Look around, you'll soon find that some people get 2 or even 3 digit $ amounts for small contributions, but you don't even get 50 cents.

Here's an example of a witness with his powerful friends called @pfunk destroying a small account of a non-profit organization and destroying all donations. He has disadvantaged and socially weak handicapped persons, seniors but also people who raise a child alone, harmed very much. Surely you do not want to support such a block chain that allows such a thing. Do you? In the contributions all data, inclusive registration with the court - address and further data are listed. You see this is an official charity.

You can read the contributions in which this witness expressed himself here. As you can see he tried to destroy the contributions, but you can still see them.

I know you'd like to earn a few cents too. That's why I'd like to show you some alternatives

Hive was originally the Blockchain Steem. Steem is still the bigger and much more active chain. There you can get a free account from me including a delegation of power that is on the account. Just enter as a comment - Steem account and I will get back to you. https://steemit.com/

At the beginning of July Voice ( voice.com ) will end its beta phase and be available worldwide. There will be no powerholders like here. A capital of 150 million US $ was made available there. I think this system will be very successful.

With these comments, I welcome every new member on HIVE. I have access to hundreds of accounts and you can't turn that off.
