This Manifesto was published February the 9th 2009 on The St Ives Times and Echo and has been completely ignored and dismissed by the St.Ives' Art scene.
Anyway, I am not expecting anyone to understand it before the end of this century. :-) THE FUTURIST NEW MANIFESTO jotted in 2009 and revised in 2025
by Dhyano Luca Angius - Metabolic Thinker and Multi-sensory Poet of the Third Millennium A century ago, Le Figaro published The Futurist Manifesto by Tommaso Marinetti, unleashing a vast wave of creative energy that continues to grow and multiply, benefiting the transformative power of people worldwide. Although Futurism may be regarded as the progenitor of modern art, it is anchored in the past. Today, we assert our freedom to herald a new movement, one that emancipates global creative thought with an energy as sublime and devastating as that of early Futurism. We aim to divest Futurist ideals of the fascist ideologies and tainted extremisms of its era, rejuvenating the still potent transformative force they represent. 20th-century Futurism liberated artists from the conceptual, economic, and moralistic impositions of its time's dominant 'passéist' culture. Now, artists can explore virtually infinite concepts through infinite media, yet remain subdued and stifled by a dominant minority that monopolizes the rules in a market serving only a select elite. The Futurism of the third millennium seeks to demolish this aberrant social behavior, creating a new art distribution system that benefits the majority, including and especially the vast audience currently excluded by the defective and ineffective intellectualism permeating the art world. Thus, we declare the dawn of a new era and introduce The New Manifesto 2009, open for global discussion:
This manifesto is a call to revolutionize the arts by decentralizing control, democratizing access, and fostering an environment where creativity benefits all, not just the privileged few. |
