French Fries Magazine — The Human DNA issue #3

Edito by Alina Ferraro & Guilherme Ferrari

French Fries Magazine communes with art, beauty, culture, fashion and music, manifested in a publication brimming with nuances of pop, references to avant-garde, crunches of retro-glam, and visuals and texts to eat french fries with.

In Human DNA: the hereditary material organisms share, the core storage system, a double helix joined by hydrogen bonds, the skeleton of human identity, the science of discovering self, the genetics, are the themes of this issue.

Our concentration lies in the future: post-apocalyptic, the remnants of the old community linger in regeneration, the rejuvenation of the incoming society, the new breed of people forming, and the tribe from no lineage but their own. Citizens of the post-world who borrow cultures while looking ordinary, but acting differently; a shift in the body and mental language with memories of the past, the bloom of nostalgia, permeating through, yet always moving forward to find a new home. They find comfort in religion, cyberspace, dystopia and prayers.􏰝􏰇􏰃􏰐 􏰛􏰌􏰎 􏰓􏰊􏰘􏰚􏰊􏰂􏰀 􏰈􏰌 􏰂􏰃􏰉􏰈􏰍􏰈􏰊􏰌􏰑 􏰓􏰐􏰒􏰃􏰂􏰄􏰗􏰏􏰓􏰃􏰑 􏰎􏰐􏰄􏰀􏰊􏰗􏰈􏰏 􏰏􏰌􏰎 􏰗􏰂􏰏􏰐􏰃􏰂􏰄􏰜

To tap the mind for a cycle of movies, to command the eyes to switch the scenery of the landscapes, to use the veins as the source of the Internet, and to eject and insert the chip into the skin to refresh the stigma against the cyborgs dissipates as they make their way into the culture, shape-shifting as humans to avoid the flow of fear into everyone’s heart and to warrant acceptance, albeit manipulated and forced, rather than tolerance. Letting the DNA of the mutations cloud over the communities on Earth deems as the primary way to achieve evolution in revolution. Demands no longer echo demands, but concrete actions to stir and steer the change.

As the dawn breaks and the dusk descends, the simulation of the restless days and endless nights begins, paving a way to the practices of human life in a loop: to wake up, eat breakfast, dress up, work until midnight, no meals in-between, binge-watch TV shows and 􏰘􏰊􏰙􏰈􏰃􏰄and movies until five in the morning and rest for an hour before their work commences. If not an employee of dystopia, then its student: to wake up, eat breakfast, dress up, study at school, college or university until midnight, take out the piles of notebooks and books, study until dawn, rest for an hour to wet the dry eyes before the memorization starts again.

The army of the modified mankind forms a line to entered our world. No weapons can ever deter the strength of their will which shall be passed onto our palms before it sinks into our skin to shape our philosophy and mindset. We no longer know if the individual before us speaks of the bygone years or the present time. The amalgamation fuses without confusion, but with integration. To redefine, reinvent and rework humanity, this issue presents interviews, features and editorials from actor Edward Bluemel, singer Charlie Barker, actor Jonathan Tucker, actor and director Peter Facinelli, musician Kailand Morris, artist Tessa Violet, songstress Pearl Charles, and actress Elisa Visari. Before allowing one’s head to land on the pillows, watch out for the knocks on the front door. Human DNA, April 2021. They have arrived.
