Artificial intelligence systems are evolving at a rapid pace, yielding
huge profits and powers to the corporate giants that invest in them. At the same time they offer new tools in a number of fields, including the field of art creation.
The cycle in which liberalism comes out of the closet in the form of fascism is again maturing in Europe. The absence of anti-capitalist organised groups has played an enormous role in leaving the rows of people to liberal-fascist demagogy. The lack of empathy with the immigrants has a twofold dimension: the dehumanisation of the self and the other.
We must be interested not only in the grand scale, systemic, and institutional changes that we so desperately need, but also in the human center of change that is both root and spark for lasting, fundamental transformation across society. By uniting these two components of change, they become two sides of a leaf, at once the reflection and the reflected, the potential and the path.
We have hit an organizational dead end in the progressive social change movement, just when we are also facing terminal threats to our species. Noam Chomsky (2019) has named the two most immediate threats: (a) the ongoing climate catastrophe and (b) the worst ever threat of nuclear war.

Capital is a relation, an organism that interacts and gets internalized in the world, which has reached the point, as McKenzie Wark puts it bluntly, to “smash like a steam-hammer not only the social but also the natural conditions of its existence”.

The president of the Board of Directors of mέta Danae Stratou describes her vision for building a post-capitalist future of freedom and justice and for meta as a generator of art and ideas at an international level.
Nikos Kanarelis, director of the cultural sector of mέta, argues for the potential of art to illuminate what remains silenced and to transform people’s thinking.
We are facing a crossroads where capitalism, as an inherently unstable system, is dying, but the alternative to barbarism has not yet emerged, reminds us the vice-president of the Board of Directors of mέta Sissy Velissariou.
Dr Sotiris Mitralexis, director of the mέta’s academic sector of mέta points to the uncertain transition from the existing economic, political and ultimately anthropological international order to something dystopian.
