I’m convinced that A NEW ART is a powerful tool that can help humanity pass this evolutionary portal into a new phase, into a new image of humanity and earth, if we choose so. This Art Manifesto is an inspiration to step up and be this change. It is an evolving concept and being and therefore in constant evolution and change. Therefore, I invite you to come back and read it anew from time to time.

A Manifesto is only a concept that needs to be put into action, in order to become reality. Therefore, I call this Manifesto a MANIFACTION.   

The trigger for this „Manifaction“ is the current existential crisis we are facing as humanity and planet, and my belief in art as a tool that can inspire and activate our transformation into conscious, self realized and wise individuals, who create the new earth, new world they dream of.

This crisis is a result of a prolonged human dis-connection, resulting in a very restricted, fragmented worldview, that by now reduces every thing, every being to a mere material resource to exploit.
We’ve practiced this distorted worldview for millennia, an intense experience that's been engraved in our psyche for generations. However, that doesn’t mean it’s all there is and things can’t be any other way. We can and have to bring this experience to a closure, by understanding its meaning and learning its lessons. Change means to become aware of our expectations and attachments, to things being only the way they were, when in fact, things (big and small, planetary and personally) can be any way YOU want them to be. However, you need to KNOW what you want, and for that, you need to become a conscious human and Know Thyself.
All possibilities are here and now, and you can choose which one you give your energy to: the old world, that is leaving, or to the materialization of the new world that is awaiting.
We are what we perceive, therefore everything, every change, begins and ends within.

Art is a tool that can help us achieve this state. I’m aware I’m going big with this project, as it is about literally changing the world through art.
I’m convinced that art ist a powerful tool to help humanity to pass this evolutionary portal into a new phase, into a new image of humanity and earth, if we choose so.

Manifesto – Manifaction:
The word contains the Hand (Manus), and the feast, referring to spreading something that is in our heart to the world through our hands in a joyful way. What a beautiful way to describe the artistic process!
A huge part of (my) art is indeed handicraft: Working and feeling with and through my hands, from my heart and body, with its own knowledge and wisdom, and spreading it to the world through the body of the art work, which is always a joyful act!

BEARTHUMANITY

BE

The beginning of the journey to BEARTHUMANITY is to BE. To be fully here, be present, be authentic, be your truest self, be all of who you really are.

BEING means to recognize everything/everyone outside of oneself (no matter if animate or not) as another, equal, Being, with whom we can connect and communicate. This connection takes place on many levels simultaneously: on a mental, word based level, on an emotional level, through feelings and on a physical level through our senses. 

Being is not equal to KNOWING. Knowing involves the rational mind, that needs facts, dates, references. It categorizes and splits into boxes, into good and bad. (Science as a word refers to the process of taking something that is whole, slicing it into pieces, in order to look at a single piece out of the whole, unfortunately without putting the pieces back together). 

Being is holistic and therefore more than knowing. It includes knowledge that we have embodied through our own experience. We all know the difference between an experience we lived through (physically, emotionally, mentally) and an experience we are only reading or told about. BEING is incarnated knowledge, being is to become that knowledge that we experienced through all our filters (physical, emotional, mental). Which also involves facing our unconscious shadow parts. Without them, we are incomplete and cannot fully BEcome. Being is a conscious state, a state that emerges from the integrated conscious and unconscious and thus has access to our full potential. 

The conscious Being is the „I Am“. The Being in a state of individuation, that is in full awareness of and responsibility for itself yet simultaneously aware of its connection to everything else on all levels. 

BE ART

ART is a means, a tool to connect to other beings, the Earth and to all dimensions of our own being. Art is a technology that allows us to integrate all our unconscious pARTs, in order to become whole again and remember who we are.

BEING is a prerequisite to ARTmaking which is the practice of exploration and expression of the connection and communication from BEING to BEING. 

Art emerges from this state of BEING, a connection that involves mental, emotional and physical dimensions. 

ART is the expression of this connection in different forms and shapes. 

In order for ART to fulfill this purpose, artists need to cultivate their state of BEING and therefore of connection to these levels within themselves. Only then, a connection with others can take place on all levels, that can then be expressed in a holistic artistic way. If you take out one level, the resulting artwork will not be a full BEING. 

BEING is related to being alive. Yes. Artworks are living beings, only if they are addressed and expressed on all dimensions. 

As a consequence Art is a spiritual technology, that helps the artist and the viewer to re-connect and become conscious of their own multi-dimensionality and while remembering their own integral state of BEING. A Being of integrity in the truest sense of the word.

BE EARTH

We all know we are beings of the Earth. But what does that actually mean?

Let’s start with the obvious: We are made of Earth's atoms, molecules, we live on Earth and consume its resources, including its lifeforms. We have a materialistic view of the Earth and therefore a one dimensional relationship to the Earth. As a result we created a materialistic mess, which we now try to fix in the same way we created it. Yet, something inside tells us, this is not the way to solve and balance the problems which still seem so monumental that we succumb to powerlessness as a result of the current world view. 
Now let’s look at the EARTH from the holistic perspective of BEINGness. Perceiving Earth as a being helps us re-establish a connection with EARTH on all levels, mental, emotional, physical and thus spiritual (a natural state for our ancestors and existing native animistic cultures, who saw/see everything as an animated being, especially EARTH as the Great Mother, Pacha Mama, Gaia, to name a few.) 
Connecting with the Earth in this multidimensional way helps us to ground ourselves into our beingness and overcome the powerlessness that is a side effect of the one sided materialistic view of Earth and live in general. 

We can now approach our existence on EARTH in a holistic way, that addresses the needs of all involved and that comes out of our self realized beingness, that can cope with all issues that arise. 
One essential tool to approach Earth as a being is through ART. More precise: through a new understanding of Art. 

Art itself is a tool to transform thoughts into matter. This is why the word BIRTH /BEARTH is so crucial to the BEARTHUMANITY concept, me as an artist and within my art. I see art as the midwife for the new EARTH and a new Humanity.

BE HUMAN

What does it mean to be Human? Our humanness is currently challenged by the technological development:

In this current materialistic/mechanistic/digitalized view, the human is a hardware driven by the latest update of a software programmed by an outside source. It is a concept, that upholds the limited view of humanity we have experienced for millennia, through organized religion, dictatorships and economics: the human, who is dependent on an outside authority. 

I, personally, have found this view of the human being limited and frightening. 

However, it's through these contrasting experiences, that we find out what it means, to be human!
It is up to us to become aware what image of humanity we carry and create. 

Art has a crucial role to remind us of our humanness, our creative power and our ability to create everything out of our infinite potential.
Yes, if we like, we can create a harmonious cyborg society, we can also create an organic, diverse society that is connected to nature, to earth and to the cosmos. 

I personally find the latter more appealing, however, art can contribute to a balanced outcome in both cases.

Art can give technology a metaphysical layer, a life force that it's lacking at this point in time. 

Remember: Art is a spiritual technology. Put it to good use and consciously co-create the humanity you desire. 

BE UNITY

Be Unity – A State of Connection with All there is, because all is Me. Have you noticed? Humanity contains the word Unity:

We have a very narrow understanding and experience what Unity actually means in its integral sense. Viewed through a fragmented, limited persepective, like economics, unity is understood as Communism, where everyone is forced to be, do, think and behave THE SAME. 

I want to invite you to FEEL into the concept of unity. Rather perceiving it through a rational and limited perspective, be it political/economical/religious/social or historical, perceive it as an infinite ocean, that connects you to everything and everyone else. A state where you are able to be aware of yourself AND simultaneously of the whole ocean. 

Doing that, you move out of the "either-or" mentality that separates things, into a state of connectivity, you experience individual beingness and universal unity consciousness simultaneously. 

This connection is non judgmental, it doesn’t need to divide things into parts or play them against each other in order to understand them.

BEARTHUMANITY

Birth of a NEW EARTH and a NEW HUMANITY through a NEW ART as the midwife.

I’m convinced that art ist a powerful tool that can help humanity pass this evolutionary portal into a new phase, into a new image of humanity and earth, if we choose so. 

This Art Manifesto is an inspiration to step up and be this change.

THE NEW ART

Art as spiritual Technology

 
We need a NEW ART in order to face and navigate the current monumental paradigm shift from the old to the new Earth and evolve in our understanding of our reality. Art must be a building tool for a new world, not a conservator of the old paradigm. We need a new Art, that can help us take this step into a new world consciously and responsibly.
With BEARTHUMANITY I intend to create a new paradigm, that involves ART as a spiritual technology of self knowledge/empowerment/mastery. This new Art enables people to overcome their current state of stagnation and move on to consciously create and manifest the new reality, the new Earth they dream of

I am reclaiming the role of Art as a tool, a metaphysical technology, that helps us become self realized individuals who create a new humanity, a new earth, a new world:

I see the New Art as a spiritual technology, that can help us tap into our meta-physical, creative capabilities that lie beyond the physical experience, by being:

• a bridge between our current finite and our new limitless, multidimensional worldview.
  
• a holistic connector to all dimensions of our being and expression (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual).
  
  

I see the new Art as a guide through our process of self initiation into our personal mysteries of self:

• Art is able to initiate us into our creator capabilities
• this Art helps us remember, that we hold the keys to the manifestation of thoughts into matter, so we are able to dream and materialize the new Earth and the new world.
  

THE NEW EARTH

 
The new EARTH is already here, it will become visible for us, once we develop and expand our multidimensional senses in order to be able to see, feel and touch this new EARTH.
Contrary to the old paradigm, we don’t have to work hard to do this, to gain academic knowledge or have all kinds of certificates to be capable and allowed to perceive this new Earth. However, what we need is to be authentic, step into our beingness and become fully conscious humans.

Art can be a huge catalyst and can accelerate this process of awakening into the state of beingness in a way filled with beauty and joy!

How will the new EARTH look like?

Well this answer is a very individual one. It will look the way YOU will manifest it. Through your aware beingness, you become conscious and can manifest the new EARTH consciously and responsibly.

Here, again, art is a big initiator to your own creator capabilities. It helps you understand (or rather remember) that you hold the keys to the manifestation of thoughts into matter.

The new Earth, just like the old one, is a result of our individual (and humanity's) state of consciousness. The old world is a result of a predominantly unconscious humanity, whereas the new Earth will be a result of a conscious humanity, that is made up of self realized individuals.
The new Earth is therefore a conscious EARTH, a Being, with whom we can – already – communicate.

THE NEW HUMANITY

Being versus Doing

As humans we’ve been taught that we achieve big things only through working hard, playing hard, earning hard. In this image of humanity, we start out as incomplete, weak beings and have to work hard to climb up the ladder of worth. Doing is the only path to material, financial and emotional abundance. This belief results in a constant search for fulfillment in the outside world, because, after all, it was the outside world, that taught us, we need these accomplishments in the first place.

Inner versus Outer World

Go within and ask yourself: Do I actually need THESE accomplishments, are these things really my heart's desires? Do I feel fullfilled? Do I know who I am? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

In order to be able to answer these questions, we need to get out of the wheel of doing/seeking outside accomplishments and turn inwards and listen. This state is a state of BEING, not of doing. It’s a creative state, where all things emerge from. It’s the place of the unknown, that houses all our potential.

 Art as Activator of Self Initiation

Art emerges from this place of unknown potentiality and is therefore a powerful helper on this inner journey of self discovery, self creation and self mastery. 

I invite you to utilize art as a spiritual technology of self initiation, that can inspire and help your deep inner guidance to surface on your path.
Call for the Art that can do this for you on all levels of your being. This is valid for artists as well as for art recipients.
My own art works come into being inspired by these very experiences of self initiation, that I myself have made along my path of self discovery, self mastery and self knowledge. I put/transmit these experiences into my art works, which then emanate this energy outwards, so that it can be received by the viewer who resonates with them.
This path never ends, rather it spirals up, from one stage to the next. So do art works. They are multi layered and multidimensional. They go beyond time and space. Therefore, the same work of art that I made many years ago can still be inspiring and activating at this point of my or your journey. Just like ancient art from millennia ago.
