"So, what, do you fancy yourself as some sort of artist, or what?"

"No, I'm an anti-artist."

"Oh, one of those hipster types that hang out in coffee shops and doesn't do much of anything, yeah."

"No, I feel like being an anti-artist means that... Wake up, Welcome Habitat. Only later will it clarify itself and become coherent."

As the conversation veers into cryptic musings, the atmosphere hints at a rebellion against the controlled order of the Welcome Habitat. The anti-artist speaks of a vision—a chaotic and explosive solution to societal issues.

"Weapons giveaway program. Anything you want. I wanna see everything blowin' up."

In this dystopian present, the visitor carries a message—a radical call for change, a chaotic artist seeking to unravel the threads of societal norms, armed with a vision that blurs the lines between creation and destruction.

"Do you like it here?"

"You can't leave anything out."

"The ants have chewed through the Styrofoam cup. And they're like all the way in 'em and shit. And they ate the crackers. They ate the Ding Dongs, believe it or not. The only things left are cans and jars. We gotta put the bread and everything in the fridge. So everything's all cold," they describe, a mix of frustration and amusement in their tone.
