PAMPHLET FOR A CONNECTED AESTHETICS
in the 21st century no one will be equal but choices between different
things will be radically reduced in a gracious unity of all contradictions
due to auto-referencing turning everything and everyone into a synonym
in the 21st century all politics will only be about consumerism, this
can be compared to how a mail-order system functions, and therefore in
nature always unsatisfactory
in the 21st century all expressive behavior, including all arts, will
be a hobby only, compared to gardening, and therefore always satisfying
in the 21st century the division between the corporation-based contemporary
culture and self-organizational counter-culture will be even more radically
split than it is today but both will be interchangeable in media appearance
in the 21st century curators therefore on either side will be like bank
managers now, aware of clients and commercial values of their products,
and ready for the next jump in prices, when to organize the big giveaway
tombola lotto, or pick the right show from the catalogues online
in the 21st century individualism will be totally replaced by diverse
forms of hidden collaborations but it will be mentioned in no more than
one name
in the 21st century all art will have a festival name
in the 21st century current artists will still gather in specially designed
spaces to think about the future of objectification and depersonalization,
the logical continuation of what we experience now in museums, schools
and galleries
in the 21st century new artists will gather in dispersed locations to
make original technological artefacts that are independent and expressive
and can only communicate among themselves, the logical continuation of
what we experience now in media labs
in the 21st century theatres of all kind will have the same nostalgic
reminiscence like the circus today and in a way the performances and shows
organized in those spaces will resemble multimedia vaudeville and installation
café chantant to a high extent
in the 21st century the non-physical people will produce all forms of
rhetorical communication, but not say anything
in the 21st century only the non-physical people will do all science,
but not show anything
in the 21st century only the non-physical people will think about the
arts but not write about it
in the 21st century physical people will have the same relationships as
they have now, hence they will experience the same unsolvable problems
in personal development
in the 21st century non-physical people will experiment with emotional
relationships based on expressivity, collaboration, but also objectification
and depersonalization as a constitutive part of their identity and as
the major means to handle emotions and expressivity
in the 21st century all borders and hierarchies will only be produced
by consumerist networks
in the 21st century roaming artists will pass those borders for consumerist
reasons to reappear as non-physical people in a non-defined place on an
artificial network with an urgent need for collaborative expression, disappearing
again upon satisfaction
in the 21st century there will only be debate about politics, consumerism,
and corporation-based contemporary cultural artefacts, and not about what
non-physical people do
in the 21st century the new and art will be perceived only when physical
or non-physical people have developed a new algorithm
in the 21st century society will disappear in algorithmic combinations
and disjunctions
in the 21st century the infrathin surface will keep all appearances undisturbingly
polite, and the fragments that lie beneath will be done but not debated
nor shown
in the 21st century individuals will talk in plural and groups will talk
in singular
in the 21st century physical and non-physical people will not say "let
us talk about it, when and where?" but "let us try out these
things together now"
in the 21st century all real art will be realtime, abstract, algorithmic,
dynamically changing over time, destructible, innovative, performative,
and connecting physical and non-physical people through heterogenic networks
in the 21st century all real art will be without identity and hopeful
in order to deal with all this, let us create an outlaw territory 75cm
above the ground and not higher than 1m 25cm. Let us perform there over
and over again. Afterwards wipe everything clean and start over again.
Learn from the previous experience. Learn and move forward. Only move
forward in experiment. Only move forward if you are not alone. Only move.
