Barker Heaven and earth have a shape similar to the womb ... and if ... anyone wish to investigate this, let him carefully examine the pregnant womb of any living creature, and he will discover an image of the heavens and the earth. - The Gnostic Gospels Much recent art has been negative, in reaction to this, much of our work will be positive. We must remove the sick, the perverted, the pornographic and the violent from art, as part of an effort to remove them from life. We believe that there is a place in this world for everything as beautiful as a boy and a girl who fall in love. - From 'Doing the obvious is more radical than you'd imagine, Neoist Manifesto Networkers, especially meta-networking in spirit artists, thus do create for themselves and vicariously for all the others - as autonomous persons - a social sphere, wherein they can preserve and develop together with their equals their identities. And if creative power, spirit, i.e. cognition and communication, creates viable patterns, lifeserving models within the artist, then networking becomes the mastering of the unknown and at the same time mastered existence, successful shaping and shape, successful life and work, always anew. - Henning Mittendorf, Mail Artist The moment of intensive thought burns holes in the fabric of reality. - Samuel All artists know that the pleasure derivable from their works is their life's pleasure... the very spirit and soul of their existence. But you must be independent, don't talk so much but do more, go your own way and let your neighbour go his... Shake off all the props, the props tradition and authority give you, and go alone - crawl, stumble, stagger - but go alone. There is hope in honest error - none in the icy perfections of the mere stylists. - Louis Spiteri, UK With the myth-making faculty Nature finds there she puts her intelligence to sleep, though without destroying it. From it are derived magic and religion, at first undifferentiated, though later each goes its own way. They supply the necessary balance to intelligence and allow man, by manipulating imaginary forces in nature or by appealing to imaginary spirits, to turn again towards his goal: and they compel him also to forget his selfish interests in the common interest and to submit, through taboos, to social discipline. - Evans-Pritchard 'Lo Straniero fosters an intellectual movement based on the idea that the mediocre are tied to their native land, while the open minded consider themselves citizens of the world, but only the wise feel a stranger everywhere. Inner rebellion is a never ending process that remains pure, whereas the dirty flag of revolution fights one corruption in order to enforce another one; therefore better to place your reliance on Detachment and Awareness, which reduce conflict and error.' ÊÊ- Ignazio Corsaro, editor of Lo Straniero 'The Neoist Cultural Conspiracy calls for the overthrow of the current artistic order, so that it can be replaced with the freedom loving Neoist Cultural Elite. The Neoist Cultural Conspiracy is against the cult of the artist because it is bad for art. The Neoist Cultural Conspiracy asserts that beauty will be beautiful or it will not be at all. The Neoist Cultural Conspiracy draws its inspiration from everything that has preceded it because it believes in the value of tradition. The Neoist Cultural Conspiracy affirms the need for the Neoist Cultural Conspiracy.' ÊÊ- From 'The First International Neoist Manifesto' 'Information is a chaos; knowledge is the spontaneous ordering of that chaos; freedom is the surfing of the wave of that spontaneity .' ÊÊ- H.

It has not changed at all during this period of time.Ó - Neoist Manifesto 'Emotion is so like water. When you are deep in it it feels warm, just as a swimming bath feels when you are in it, but if you insist on splashing emotion over those outside the bath, don't be surprised if you chill them.' ÊÊ- R. Dukes 'Some of my best friends are occultists.' ÊÊ- topy slogan 'Hackers who believe in 'freedom of information' have my sympathy, especially since theyÇve been picked as the latest enemies of the Spectacular State, and subjected to its spasms of control-by-terror. But hackers have yet to 'liberate' a single bit of information useful in our struggle. Their impotence, and their fascination with Imagery, make the ideal victims of the 'Information State', which itself is based on pure simulation. One needn't steal data from the post-military industrial complex to know, in general, what it's up to. We understand enough to form our critique. More information by itself will never take the place of the actions we have failed to carry out; data by itself will never reach critical mass ... It is not the neural system alone which will achieve autonomy, but the entire body.' ÊÊ- H. Bey (TAZ)
