Art and Design at the Fringe of Sanity.

11 THEY THINK THEY KNOW
Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? Recall from 02 SEE THROUGH that:Lovers and artists are mad. If you disagree with the statement, you are neither.Sanity is the state of being in alignment with the status quo. Any deviation, no matter how far, is madness. How far you stray defines how mad you are.I recently came across a meme that depicted some rather colorful characters with a caption that brooked no argument that this was unsavory. Exhibit A:The contempt here is palpable. We simply c...

16 JOURNEY
“It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.” How often have you heard or read any number of iterations on this theme? It’s a common enough saying, often touted by business leaders, fitness professionals, and self-titled “life coaches.” (Honestly, wtf is a life coach?) The idea is simple enough to understand: it’s the experience gained en route to arrive at the destination that matters more than the destination itself. There’s nothing challenging in that premise. The logic isn’t d...

10 OF HEAVEN OR HELL
“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots grow down to hell.” --Carl JungYour path will not be rainbows and butterflies, despite whatever toxic positive path you want to adhere to. The Secret? The Secret completely disregards the subconscious. The Law of Attraction? Same thing. You may get what you think you want by simply believing you can achieve it, but you will very quickly learn that what you think you want and what you actually want are two completely different things. Y...

Impingement. Infringement. Encroachment. Trespass. Symmetry and cleanliness thrown off by the trespass of something or someone that doesn’t belong. This is insanity broaching the carefully crafted constructs of the status quo. Recall from 02 SEE THROUGH that:
Sanity is the state of being in alignment with the status quo. Any deviation, no matter how far, is madness. How far you stray defines how mad you are.
Any encroachment by those deemed mad is infringement upon the faces of pristine structures erected by those deemed sane. And though infringement it may be, it is this infringement that drives humanity forward by way of art and technology. The artist may deface a pristine structure and leave it more or less visibly desirable, but ultimately, the structure is left more interesting.
The problem with interesting, however, is that the status quo knows not how to monetize it. Art that can be controlled, marketed, and monetized is welcome; infringement is not.
Infringement is trespass.
And yet, the world evolves due to trespass. The world grows and expands, not because the constructs of the status quo are respected, but because ultimately, those constructs are defaced.
Impinge, infringe, encroach, and trespass. Step into your madness, release the constructs of the status quo, and participate in the evolution of the world around you.
