The Destructionist International is an art-theory collective dedicated to the negative in all of its forms. It is driven by a shared inclination: a taste for the fury of destruction, away from the dull submission of situations to reasoned judgement. The group works across a variety of creative mediums (text, image, video, sound) and themes (militancy, sabotage, technology, liberation).
