Vlad SvobodaFear is the Mind Killer 0.2
In the swirling chaos of post-Soviet Russia, I was raised with the understanding that the government was an entity so alien and detached from our daily grind that there was no bloody point in mingling. Instead, we tackled the relentless torrent of challenges that flooded our days, never seeking aid from the faceless authorities. This way of thinking sculpted a generation of souls who believed that as long as they didn't rattle the government's cage, they would be left to wander in t...

State of meaningful NFT world.It’s been a few years of big promises on how NFTs are going to revolutionise the royalty world. Today there is an unfathomable amount of digital marketplaces for images, that sell randomly generated shit. There is about fifty music NFT publishing platforms, every single one of them doxxing their artists and most of them requiring artists to pass their curation test before being able to publish their work. I haven’t found one decent video NFT publishing platform, ...
Vlad SvobodaIsa - My Chechen Friend
In my childhood, Chechnya was the first real war I had heard of. It was happening as I went to school. Mutilated soldiers were coming home, and we had all sorts of myths about the dangerous Chechen separatists floating around. In 1999, four apartment block bombings across Russia led the ex-FSB director and then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to blame the Chechen separatists and start the second Chechen War. A move that eventually earned him his presidency. There is substantial evidence that th...

Hey you.
My name is Vlad Svoboda. I am a film producer, a degen and an immersive artist. My favourite medium is interactive performances that push the boundaries of what can be done within an artistic experience. A few years back I made a work that was a commentary on the phenomenon of career building and workaholism. Recently I published a short film about it, you can check it out here:
At this moment I find myself in Bali, being displaced from Kyiv by a war. There is a local burn happening, organised by a Russian burners community in which I am revisiting the pain infliction performance technique.
This time it’s called “Sack the Tyrant”. I am planning to invite people into an enclosed immersive space where they’re going to find themselves in the middle of a big political rally. They will be wearing a shock collar and they will be encouraged to express themselves vocally. They will get electrocuted with increasing intensity for their expression and eventually when they decide they’ve had enough be extracted out of the rally into a police van. At that point they’ll get a physical object to commemorate their achievement of overcoming the pain and fear to express themselves as well as an NFT. Depending on the amount of shocks they can endure, they will have dropped a particular tyrant.
I am self funding this piece and I am asking for your support here. Please donate whatever amount you can to make this experience better. After the event I will make a film about it and publish it for all backers to see. I will include every address that donates in the credits no matter the size of donation.
Thank you.
