MODERNISM
A manifesto for artists in the age of automation

Manifesto
I’m not here to impress you. I’m not here to decorate your feed.
I’m here to say something. And I want others to start saying something too.
We are surrounded by content.
Not art. Noise.
Not message. Replicas.
Not voice.
The machine can imitate our hands. It can sketch, edit, animate, color, and render. It can feed off our history, steal our brushstrokes, mimic our style, and even finish our sentences. But it can’t feel. It can’t care.
And it definitely can’t mean.
AI killed the sacredness of process. It automated the journey. The rituals that once separated the committed from the curious are gone.
Everyone can participate now. And most do.
Without intention. Without soul. Without consequence.
We stand at the edge of a creative extinction.
Not because of the tool. But because of the lack of thought behind its use.
This is a call to artists, designers, filmmakers,
musicians, animators, coders, editors, creators:
Don’t disappear. Don’t get drowned in the feed.
Don’t let the machine speak louder than your voice.
Reclaim authorship. Create with purpose. Use the tool. Don’t be used by it.
Let the new movement begin.
A movement not about aesthetics, but about authorship.
Not about style, but about soul.
Not about production, but about presence.
This is not Modernism. Not Postmodernism. Not Dada. Not Fluxus.
Not Expressionism. Not Conceptualism. But built from the bones of all of them.
This is something new.
This is Purposeful Creation.
Your voice is the final frontier.
Say something that matters. Or say nothing at all.
Create with purpose.
or say nothing at all.
In a world where AI can generate anything,
the only thing that matters is what you meant to say.
THE MACHINE CAN GENERATE CONTENT,
BUT ONLY YOU CAN CREATE MEANING.
