What is the Life Skills™ Series?

Life Skills™ is something for all and for everybody. It's the basic skills of life shown and taught by people just like you for people just like us (and vice versa). Taking a deconstructionist approach to video making, we try to... (no, it's not true) Actually, Life Skills™ are there to teach the aliens (who will also be the future humans by a happy coincidence) some simple things. Like, how to eat an ice-cream, or how to do your shoelaces. Think about it as life-hacks revisited. We have a much higher goal. We're looking into the future and we're doing things for the future.

Life Skills™ Series Season 1 was done by The Solvents Collective, and you can see some retro stuff at www.thesolvents.net available online for the first time.

Anybody can do a Life Skill™. It's very very simple. Just read through our manifesto, make your own life-skill, upload it on Vimeo.Com or YouTube.Com and send a link to us (via e-mail, a comment, or MySpace).

Season 2 of Life Skills™ is presented at Berlin's Next Top Artist Party on 22nd May 2008 and will soon be put online. See full details on the Epic Performance Party blog.
