(Postnuclear pointlessism)
Each direction in art has its own manifesto, whether it is a written manifesto made by the artist or, if we think in a broader sense, a set of ideas, thoughts and aspirations that are common to the works belonging to a certain direction.
Each artist, through his works, builds his own manifesto.
Medieval Art… Renaissance… Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Symbolism, Post-Impressionism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dada, Abstract Art, Conceptual Art… Op Art, Pop Art… Meta, Post…
Throughout history, we can observe all directions in art and the works created in them as a stamp of time. Art is created as a response to current events, circumstances, problems, technical achievements… History gives us facts from the past, but only through the observation of art can we feel the spirit of the times. In addition to all the directions that arose throughout history, today’s time brings a huge number of new ones. Modern ideas can function independently, but they can also refer to the entire historical archive to a greater or lesser extent.
It is similar in life, where new knowledge, thinking, techniques and technologies are constantly accumulating. How much is our memory, how much can we handle? How much sense is there in all this?
Are we ourselves building a world that we cannot see, endure and understand?
Does it make sense to be part of an organism that lives thanks to us, but not for us?
What would the direction I belong to be called? … About Post-Nuclear Pointlessism
Einstein said that he does not know what people will fight with in the third world war, but he knows what they will fight with in the fourth – sticks and stones.
If we apply this thinking to the field of art, culture and spirit, we will realize that we do not need a real nuclear explosion. All modern segments of life and sociological circumstances have disrupted flows, rhythm, habits, expectations, thoughts and relationships, with a force equivalent to the third world war in the mentioned Einstein thesis.
The expected progress of society has been stopped in many segments by the new chaos and confusion of the digital age. In addition to all the positive potential it carries, it still creates a virtual existential vacuum in which the movement of many values ​​seems to be regressive.
