about

"Historically, the industrialization of the West has outsourced fertile farm lands and the labor required for them into colonies. The calories produced by these ghostly lands in the global south supply the energy intake of Western populations. In today’s global economy, »Earth Overshoot Day« marks the point at which a country consumes more than its resources can recover or replenish in a one-year cycle. These unseen lands that are consumed and depleted are not acknowledged or cared for by those who subsist on them.
We are all haunted by the ghost acreages we devour." (ZKM)

lyrics

The ghosts in the machine/ move the pistons/ turn the wheels/ in your factory farms/ and your laboratories/ and your bitcoin mining companies/ these bones keep the furnaces burning/ keep the pistons moving and the wheels turning/ you're living off the ghost acreage/ you're living on borrowed time/ .../ these bones/ keep the furnaces burning/.../ the ghosts in the machine/ move the pistons/ turn the wheels/ in your warehouses/ and penitentaries/ and your off-shore finance industries/ these bones keep the furnaces burning/ keep the pistons moving and the wheels turning.
