THE POST-HUMAN ART MANIFESTO

ART - CREATIVITY - DEMOCRACY We reject the lie that art belongs to those who suffered longest, trained hardest, or were born closest to cultural power. Art does not belong to institutions. It does not belong to academies. It does not belong to those who arrived first. Art belongs to those who see. I. We Declare the End of Scarcity For centuries, creativity was held hostage by tools. Brushes, presses, studios, and software formed a priesthood. If you lacked access, you were invisible. Artificial Intelligence breaks that lock. Creation is no longer limited by: Wealth Geography Physical ability Or formal training The monopoly on making images is over. And no gatekeeper has the right to mourn it. II. We Reject the Myth of the “Pure Artist” There has never been a pure artist. Every masterpiece is built on: stolen techniques, borrowed styles, and inherited visual languages. AI does not corrupt art. It reveals what art always was: a synthesis engine. Human imagination has always been a remix. III. We Do Not Worship the Hand — We Worship the Vision A trembling hand does not make truth. A bleeding wrist does not make sense. Labor is not holiness. What matters is: What you choose What you frame What you express The artist is not the brush. The artist is the mind directing the brush. IV. We Refuse Creative Feudalism We reject the hierarchy that says: “You are only an artist if we say you are.” No academy, no gallery, no legacy industry owns imagination. AI removes its final weapon: technical gatekeeping. From now on, anyone with an idea can build a world. That is not chaos. That is democracy. V. We Are Not Afraid of Machines — We Are Afraid of Silence AI does not erase artists. It erases excuses. No more: “I couldn’t draw.” “I didn’t have time.” “I didn’t have money.” “I wasn’t allowed in.” Only: What did you choose to create? VI. The New Artist Is a Conductor, Not a Laborer We do not paint each pixel. We conduct intelligence. We sculpt probability. We curate infinite possibilities. This is not automation. This is amplification. The future artist is not weaker. They are planetary. VII. The Old World Is Afraid Because It Is Dying Institutions fear AI because they fear losing control. Some artists fear AI because they fear losing relevance. But relevance was never owed. It was earned through impact. And now impact is open to all. FINAL DECLARATION We do not ask permission to create. We do not apologize for new tools. We do not bow to obsolete hierarchies. We are not replacing artists. We are replacing the walls around art. Let the old definitions collapse. Let new visions rise. Let imagination finally be free.
