As the seasons turn, do you trust that Pastel Fractal is staying focused on our mission to perform wonders with the mission statements of Chicagoans despite such THRILLing distractions and possibilities with the iWonder - our bike hauled performance apparatus of floppy disk #MIDIsequencers and #realseashells?

In the Pilsen neighborhood at 18th St x Paulina St, the marchers from the nearby "Increase the Peace" event share the plaza where Pastel Fractal performs wonders with the mission statements of Chicagoans. At this performance, Pastel Fractal is invited to perform at the marchers' event at Harrison Park and does so following this performance. Alexander DeGraaf does enough research to acknowledge that the violence they march against may be worsened by the forces of gentrification, and we acknowledge that public art can contribute to those forces especially the work of artists not native to the community. #pilsen #18thstreet #chicagopublicspace #increasethepeace #bikemusician #bikedj #stayactive #diytour #peacemarchers #familyfriendly (at Pilsen 18th Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-m81Unfdu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ne3daxxlz1vv

As you can see in this video from the #bikewinterartshow, it wasn't long ago that ȺƉǤ was using floppy disks to store heaps of Chicagoans' data, and you should be skeptical if you see ȺƉǤ out there making new pledges to the audience claiming to be #cleanedup or #reawakened and no longer using #obsoletetechnology after #upgrading the Fracbook Pro in order to truly #servethecommunity this time around. Who knows what kind of #opportunities ȺƉǤ will try to get the audience to buy into? #bikedj #datadump #wasted #upcycledcommode #conchshellhorn #toilethumor #datashaming #bicycle performance #frankzappa #sobriety #sober #identitycrisis #hackdj #bikewinterartshow #laptopdj #5dgisd #wearyourownbrand #upcycle #climatecrisis (at La Commode de Louise) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qTHxYF_ch/?igshid=67qjzf7gx7r6

Pastel Fractal makes a triumphant return to center #plazastage and sings some 🔥 mission statements at Cermak Rd x Marshall Blvd - A.W.E.A.C.T. venue #21! Every lyric that Pastel Fractal sings was collected by #bigdata researcher Alexander DeGraaf who has big amounts of Chicagoans' data including lots of astonishing responses to #missionstatement related prompts from youth at @blackstonebikes such as "May I get 2,000,000 to move to China." Truly a #livemultimediaperformance as apposed to a #floppydiskjockey with an #alleggsinonebasket machine. This set of tools includes a #bikeapparatus that transforms and moves by the #pedalpower of Pastel Fractal!

This is a big coincidence when Pastel Fractal sings Working Bikes mission statement at A.W.E.A.C.T. venue #22 because all performance locations are determined by overlaying a seashell spiral over a map of Chicago on this tour. That's the system determined to be the best by unbiased researcher Alexander DeGraaf whose conclusive laboratory findings also point directly to each of the tools used by Pastel Fractal in order to perform wonders with the mission statements of Chicagoans. "Working Bikes rescues discarded bicycles and gives them new life by redistributing them as tools of empowerment in local and global economies." The moment captured big thanks to @satanpresley.
