MANIFEST
Modern art has progressively evolved into multivalent levels of communication since the avant-garde movements of the 20th century.
Modern art focuses on the interesting, risking the loss of perspective on truth.
The homogenization of people, perceived as mere consumers, within the sterile anonymity of modern mass society finds its counterpart in a conception of modern art that is fixated on the interesting, provocative, and often the ugly. According to Søren Kierkegaard, however, the interesting and dazzling is the death of truth.
Art, as the original form of human self-assurance in their unique reality, has given way to a concept of art that has lost all certainties and risks dissolving into limitless arbitrariness.
Yet art, in its essence, is both language and response. The current biotechnological revolutions, the accelerating co-evolution of AI, and the unforeseeable horizons of human enhancement increasingly raise urgent questions about the nature of humanity, its dignity, and its potential place in the future world.
What, then, is the value of humanity in modern art?
The essence of art has always been to aim at the ineffable behind the veil of reality:
- The world is one of semantic information, conveyed to us in symbolically encoded form.
- There exists a world of matter infused with spirit.
- Humanity stands at the center of the mystery of life.
Life is the symbol and language of a fundamental spiritual reality – and every human face speaks this mystery to us.
