they live, we rise pack including newspaper and 3d glasses.

against inaction, passivity and sheepishness society we live in, pablo & javier ia (headmasters of belio) release a new publication to shake consciences and to invite the readers to be part of an artistic act of protest.

belio: they live, we rise is a physical and digital edition inspired by john carpenter’s movie "they live". a short of homage to the film in order to expose a increasingly conformist and lobotomized society. the design and content of the newspaper is based in one of the famous scenes from the movie where the protagonist discovers the hidden messages in advertising and the media with the help of some special glasses. to read our newspaper, you won’t need those glasses… but we have included in the pack a special 3d anaglyph glasses that you will need to read the digital edition "we rise", the newspaper’s antithesis containing subversive messages which can be downloaded for free on our website. everything is packed within a transparent pvc bag screenprinted and limited to 1000 units.

conceived by the designers and artists pablo & javier ia / geeohdee, this special edition is an absolutely different concept of an art magazine and a rupture in aesthetic style with all their previous publications. the new belio has been conceived as something more than just another publication, an artistic and global protest. readers and collaborators are invited to take part on the on-going project, just walking around the streets of their cities while holding and enjoy reading it in a public place. everyone is free to submit their photos of these beautiful surreal scenes with people enjoying the newspaper among a sleepy and lobotomized society. the photos received will be part of a collection that will be published on our website. the aim of this project is to create time-space areas for reflection. An action to demonstrate that we are not mere pawns in a chess game led by governments, banks and large companies but people capable of generating our own ideas, to claim our rights and our freedom and re-invent the rules of the game.

the whole project "they live" can be considered part of the movements #spanishrevolution, #takethesquare and #15m among others, the series of protests that started the past may 15 in spain and have expanded into the rest of european countries.

belio is an independent art and design project from spain. started on 1999 when pablo & javier ia decided to publish their first art magazine, the project developed in different art publications, festivals, art shows, workshops, etc. belio has always been connected with the idea of an consciousness awakening through art projects. after 12 years publishing cutting edge designers and artists they decided to publish this conceptual publication in order to express their ideas with greater force and clarity. you could say it louder but not clearer.
