BASISArt is communication. Communication is knowledge. Art is knowledge.
There isn't Art nor knowledge withouth communication.
Today Art is hidden because communication is interrupted. Let's reactivate it.
This Manifesto is not a range of words but a virtual place for a real meeting. This Manifesto does not want to freeze a message into words but to foster the meeting of distant men who do not know each others but recognize themselves in the clearness of an idea.
Communication is the acquaintance of different men who meet and become a little less stranger when they compare their own difference.
Art is knowledge through the shapes of the colours of the world and it is the penetration of the world substance. In the mind's eye, feelings, heart, will, conscience.
Art is synthesis and absence of all colours and forms, it is a faithful-unfaithful mirror of beauty and chaos.
Art is to transform disharmony into beauty, sufference into pity, violence into contemplation,
Art is to remain in silence among a din a voices, to give a voice to silence.
This Manifesto is a launching pad to escape from the Manifesto and plunge into life, everybody's life, becoming more human, when we go on looking for other people, finding ourselves loosing and finding ourselves in others.
This, in our opinion, is communication and this communication is Art, a contact and clash of worlds generating the new in communication.
If we all will be able to invent ourselves without deceiving ourselves without falling in love with what we invented, the new images of the world will arise from us, images ready to give place to new images, new languages, new meanings will be born, ready to give place to new languages and new meanings.
This Manifesto is the nowhere where all people can meet because as they do not occupy a space, it is open to those who look for the impossible in the world of wall against wall, that must be destroyed because it is continuosly rebuilt.
We want to build the bridge of the future trough the four corners of the earth, beyond all walls, barriers or fences to create -without destroying anything - the immaterial city of communication.
