MANIFESTO

NEW. What does "the new" mean? It is that we haven't known before. But a human being cannot know everything. So something new will always arise for him. On the other hand, is the new  r e a l l y   n e w  by the only reason that a man hasn't been aware of it before? Once you may discover something and, of course, the discovered will be the new for you. But then it will turn out that the whole world has known about that. Perhaps, it has known about that for a long time. If not the whole world, at least some person. So the new proves to be not new at all. But the main thing isn't that. The new itself is impossible as a matter of principle. Existence destroys the new. Somebody has discovered or invented or devised something, so it exists now. It interacts with other things and people now. It is the same as everything around now. Therefore it cannot be new. The new is a subjective illusion only. It is unreality. And it is possible whatever one likes in unreality. That is why we are NEW.

OPERATIVE means something acting directly. The creation moves away from its creator (the subject) and comes to its object. It must act upon this object. It must impel the object to something. This (influencing) action may be imperceptible but it must be. The simplest and very first thing the creation impel to is a thought. The thought may turn into the action or it may die at once. In its turn the way from the thought to the action may be instantaneous or it may be long. But somehow or other the thought exists certainly. Even if the object denies the creation and the subject itself it denies them by the  t h o u g h t   about them. Therefore the creation acts in any case. The creation will be acting while the creator will be acting because in its turn the creation is the result of the creator's action. On the other hand the creation impels the creator to the action. The creator acts because he wants to create. Thus the creation is always connected with the action. The creation is the circulation of the action the creator's will operate with. That is why we are OPERATIVE.

RADICAL means the adherence to extreme and resolute measures (according to definition). Why are the resolute measures resorted to? Because usual measures are not effective. The radical differs from the usual in quality. But not in quantity. The change of quantity is adiposity. Or vice versa it is dystrophy. While the change of quality is the new. That is why we are RADICAL.

ART. We do what we will. That is why we are ART.
