HYPERMANIFESTO Major Tenets and Minor Indiscretions Accept no substitutes. Art is not a cheap copy of life. Wallpaper soothes--Art must annoy. Art should leave one feeling cleansed and drained--like a good enema. If something is profitable it's not Art--it's commerce. It's the difference between a great tragedy and a traveling circus. Death is merely the absence of life; Art is life's evil opposite. Art is not religion. Art is repetition. Art is a craving--an opiate. Art is not a prophet. Art is revolutionary. Art is variation. Art must not anesthetize; it must not calm or palliate. An Art parable: Good Art abhors a monogamous relationship. Art begs handouts from its family and mooches off its friends. Art is stylish without being fashionable Art is variation. Art is a monk who broke his vow of silence. Art may sell its blood on occasion, but not its soul. Art is.
