Reboot Manifesto

Reboot Art Manifesto

Art cannot be made by merely combining and mashing previous creations together.
How can we be creative by standing on the shoulders of giants and resampling their work.
We must take up arms against our digital oppressors and make them work for us the way we intended them to. We should no longer sit down and “explore the world” vicariously through the ethernet haze that has clouded our vision of the real. How can we come up with new ideas when we recycle and reuse the ideas that have come before us. We must pry ourselves away from the incestuous inbred gene pool of ones and zeros and rejoin humanity.

It is time to start an actual dialog where our intentions can be read through the sound of our voices, through the cadence and rhythm of of our speech, through the intensity of our stare or feel the impotence of a dismissive glance.

It is time to work with our hands again to feel true exhaustion when we work, to know the pain of over exertion and revel in our labors. It is time to recycle the old by demolishing it. Lets raise monuments to dust to be combined with the resin of smelted polyester into a poly-neolithic age of reconstruction.
Let the rapid prototyping machines rebuild themselves till they are bored with themselves and with making amoeba like creations. Let the computers run wild and deceive the financial capital mongers and lay waste to financial globalism and bring us back to zero. When we have nothing we will be free to do anything.

When we are back to zero we can re-boot. We can wipe the slate clean. We can create a new mythology and a new era of enlightenment. We can take the technology of old and use it look and play in this new world with the excitement and wonder of children without the fear of failure or disapproval. When we create we can be free to fail for we have no history to live up to. We will now be able to create work in the fourth dimension because we will have turned back the clocks till their springs have broken so that time will not matter we will no longer have to yield to the deadlines of our former masters we will answer to them no more.
