Order and Chaos

If you haven’t been to Oaxaca, it’s amazing. For us it came to represent the duality of Flag Machine itself.

Everywhere you look there is beautiful art. Murals on roughly one out of five buildings. Street art that is all-time. Pink buildings. Demons and skeletons for Día de los Muertos. Chaos that is exciting, wild, and constantly changing.

All devils should have this quantity of swagger.

But at the same time, people were devoted to the social contract. This was still the COVID era: masks, hygiene stations, a seriousness about the rules that ran alongside the party. Order and chaos, all at once.
