Rational Chaoticism
manifesto
01. The Soul of Art
Art without meaning is not art—it is a shell, hollow and brief. As music without melody becomes mere noise, art without purpose becomes decoration. True art speaks; it whispers, shouts, and lingers in the soul.
02. Process over Premeditation
Art need not begin with purpose. Let it germinate in uncertainty, allowing meaning to unfurl through the rhythm of creation. Chaos is the fertile soil where true significance takes root and grows wild, unbound by premeditation.
03. The Fusion of Realms
Rational Chaoticism is the union of the tangible and the intangible, the seen and the unseen. It is a dance between the preconscious, conscious, and unconscious. It bridges the spiritual and the material, determinism and free will—a harmony of opposites.
04. Engaging the Viewer
Great art is a magnet, pulling the viewer closer. It captivates from afar, yet deepens its hold with proximity. It invites the beholder to uncover layers, forging a connection that transcends the surface.
05. The Eternal Evolution
To be a Rational Chaoticist is to evolve endlessly. To explore new techniques, unearth fresh perspectives, and navigate the infinite ways of rationalising the unpredictable. Growth is the heartbeat of the practice.
​
06. Boundless Expression
Rational Chaoticism knows no borders. It is boundless in form, material, medium, and technique. It thrives on the ideals of rationality and chaos, free from the constraints of convention. Express yourself in your own unique way.
07. Embracing Unexpected Moments in Daily Life
The Rational Chaoticist embraces the seemingly random—a fleeting moment, an accidental mark, a misstep. These are not coincidences; they are the universe speaking. Listen, absorb, and allow the unseen forces to guide your work.
08. Allowing Chaos to Creep Back In
When the mind falters and creativity stalls, let chaos quietly reclaim its place. Step away, pause, and sleep on it. In the stillness, the unbidden will emerge, shaping your work in unexpected ways.
09. You Are NOT the Chosen One
A Rational Chaoticist remains soft clay, open to the imprints of others. Reject the illusion of being above influence. You are human—flesh, blood, and thought—and the world is rich with voices to guide and transform your own.
10. What Comes After is Always in Affinity to What Went Before
All things are interconnected, bound by affinity and continuity. What comes next grows from what came before. Every mistake, every triumph, every fleeting moment of now—each is essential, woven into the fabric of the universe as it is meant to be.
