We Weren't.
Inkjet prints on canvas. 90x50cm.
Three of the most controversial terrorists of the ongoing War on Terror are now
depicted as Disney villains in this piece.
The triptych renders a digitalized fantasy which conjoins terrorists with villain
characters from famous western cartoons, and underlines the manipulations of
consensus/dissent by the "Information Operations Roadmap" military program.
Nonexistent terrorists have been some of the most wanted, and have been identified
as dangerous official enemies.
They are true war celebrities with fake names, or alleged leaders of insurgent
groups against peace heroes.
These identities are permanently the subject of debates about conspiracy theories
and are constantly discussed on official main-stream news.
These myths have grown on internet like folk tales, where legends spread fast as
part of socio-induced anxiety through conspiracy conjectures constructed by
citizen journalists and propaganda by the dominant media structure.
