MANIFESTO sent to each artist

We are the spirits, cycled through persistent matter, piles of ancient ash. When rare energies tesselate, we loosen our grip on the architecture of our modern sensibilities and grasp, release some of the whole wisdom we carry but cannot know, timed for need. Leave behind the anti-, the alter-, the post-. We are done reacting. We are done submitting. We manifest action and authenticity. Spiritual connection. Culture as context. Faith in chaos. Set the clocks to absurd. You have all the skills. We are greater than the sum of our parts. We are the new spirit.
