ZEconomy

1.) An artistic economic eco-system started in 2006,
of continuously evolving art projects that explore an individual's place inside human made societal systems.
2.) The deliberate manipulation of economic output into the absurd, mundane, good, bad, & ugly… |

Life Profits

1.) The value of consciously lived life. (Quality / Quantity / Positive or Negative)
1.1) The basic unit of value for the ZEconomy
2.) The use of value to articulate doing life in the now.

ZEconomics.

#zeconomy


What if less is better than more?
What if capital value is not produced by economic production?
What if the value of an individual was the economy?

ZEconomics takes the idea of a fully functional economy and scales it down to human size. It disbands with the obsession with capital wealth accumulation in favor of accumulating consciously lived life good, bad, and ugly focusing on parts of life we all deal with whether we want to or not. From depression to sex, to relationships and death. A shared economy of the basics of life that unites us even in our differences.
