TABLE OF CONSPIRACY Print

“TABLE OF CONSPIRACY “, 84 X 60 Inches, Acrylic on Textured Canvas, 2020. Ever since the Covid-19 coronavirus spread across the world, suspicions have proliferated about what is really going on. Questions arose about the virus originating from China, the way it makes people sick, the total lock down and other mitigation measures taken, the supressed civil rights, the connection with 5G, possible cures and medications, and about the role of Bill Gates in it all. Amid the current corona climate pandemic, this scenario is oddly familiar. Since the beginning of April, at least 77 phone masts and 40 engineers have been attacked in the UK, after some people bought into the erroneous idea that Covid-19 is somehow being spread by powerful forces in the global telecommunications industry. Now the rumour has spread to the US and other places in the world where there are fears it may lead to further violence. Yet again, reason is being cast aside, in favour of a niche explanation that involves a convoluted secret plot. These ideas are commonly framed as conspiracy theories. Yes, they may all distrust the mainstream narrative and share certain characteristics, but they are not one of a kind. A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a pejorative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence. From political upheavals to anxieties about Illuminati, Area 51 and the Aliens, The Reptilian Elite, 9/11 cover up, HIV as a bio weapon, GMO’s, Moon landing hoax, New World Order, Weather Control engineering, Avatar Technologies, Bill Gate vaccine and Women’s right movement, it turns out conspiracy theories can tell us a lot about what’s going on in our societies – but not so much clues about those behind it. The question is, why did these alternative stories catch on? The menagerie of conspiracy theories in existence is so bizarre, the reasons some take off – and others vanish without a trace – may seem almost random. There is even a conspiracy theory about how conspiracy theories were invented (in keeping with the standard conspiracy formula, the CIA were allegedly involved). But there are patterns hidden in their strangeness. The latest thinking suggests that conspiracy theories are filtered by a kind of natural selection, which allows those that fit certain requirements to spread rapidly through our societies – while others are confined to the darkest corners of the internet. Conspiracy theories resist falsification and are reinforced by circular reasoning: both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it are re-interpreted as evidence of its truth, whereby the conspiracy becomes a matter of faith rather than something that can be proved or disproved. Research suggests that conspiracist ideation—belief in conspiracy theories—can be psychologically harmful or pathological and that it is correlated with psychological projection, paranoia, and Machiavellianism. Conspiracy theories once limited to fringe audiences have become commonplace in mass media, emerging as a cultural phenomenon of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Psychologists have even attributed the act of finding a conspiracy where there is none to a mental illness called illusory pattern perception. What makes a conspiracy appealing to the masses? And is there anything they can teach us about the problems we face – and how to fix them? From an imaginative picture of men in black, to commercial monopoly perpetrated by global conglomerates, to the overreaching arms of the CIA, and extracurricular narratives around eminent personalities such as Catholic Popes, Rothschild family, Bill Gate and Mark Zuckerberg alike, all seated around an imaginary table making decisions while political influence and monetary gains is at the forefront of their agenda….. “TABLE OF CONSPIRACY” is conceived to remind us of illusionary perception we all are participatively performing in shaping our realities. This massive social consciousness is an art form of the highest order because, humans are witty instruments in the hands of time!
