Hey there!
Welcome to
explore The Island of
Manstaria:
¬ Experience Continued! If
you haven't been visiting
Main Land (Art of Experience) I better
give you some clues as to where
this exploring expedition can
take you.
Basically, it's an experimental
journey navigating existence
here and beyond. It's about
seeing and investigating things
from novel perspectives, where
experience, existence and
identity―those commonly
perceived "hard tools" for the
understanding of the human being―are grasped as loose
categories, constantly
intertwined with non-identity
markers, shaping each other in
an "I-in-becoming" process;
the I
reversing itself for new angles
of coming into being. The theme
of death is one major topic, but
here death does not equal the
long term, but the position
where new "I-in-becomings" can
take place. Art of Experience as
an idea and a practice is
thus about using the medium of
artworks as a door opening for
the soul, with change as the
everlasting eternal. On the
pages we (de)contextualize, (dis)connect
and associate artworks in a
visual exploring narrative;
death, life and the mystic
forces that sourrounds us. The
page "More
about Art of Experience"
gives a fuller picture of the
whole thing. All in all, the
common denominator here, as far
as the experiment considers, is
that everything has been created
in a curiosity to see what will be(come) - as one aspect of a
work in progress.
In case you're already
familiar with the concept Art of
Experience (as it's done here) I should not dwell on
the subject any further. And, if
you haven't seen the first site,
why don't you check it out
here?!
I will, however, say this before
I leave you to it: On this site
we have linked music to the
pages, both to boost the page
character (that is, the music
here functions as a medium that
adds an element to the
perception of the theme), and as a way to
explicate the significance of
music in the creation
process.
And, a final thing, while the
Main Land site was already finished
when launched on the net, in the
sense that all artworks
presented where there from the
start, this one is not; The
Island of Manstaria is a construction zone in
progress, it'll be constantly
built up with new themes, presented in their own shifting framings, lay-outs,
colours, thoughts, music,
interconnections, etc. The idea
is that the new artwork theme will
come alive on the net one by one,
as soon as they've been "born",
in an ever-changing journey
kinda. So why don't you come back here
every
now and again and check out the
latest from Art of E!
To begin the voyage
just chose any of
the cities/villages
on the map above,
or start
here, and be on
your merry way!
