New Reality (Neue Realität) This is a manifesto for artists navigating authorship, autonomy, and algorithmic influence in the age of AI. For those working with and against the machine. For those who feel reality shifting beneath their practice. For those who refuse to be optimized. New Reality (Neue Realität) Manifesto Artistic Sovereignty We stand for the unwavering autonomy of the artist in the age of AI. Our creativity shall not be confined by outdated laws, legacy institutions, or systems designed to domesticate radical expression. The machine is a tool, not a master. Fluid Reality We embrace a reality that is ever-evolving, and is shaped, augmented, and destabilized by the fusion of human consciousness and technological systems. Truth is no longer fixed; perception is no longer singular. We inhabit the blur. Reimagining Ownership We advocate for a new paradigm of authorship that reflects the interconnected, generative nature of creativity today. Ownership must evolve beyond property and control, toward attribution, transparency, and mutual influence. Creativity is not a commodity; it is a condition. Human-Tech Synergy We celebrate the seamless collaboration between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence. When wielded with intent, this alliance transcends boundaries and redefines what it means to make, to see, and to feel. The future of art is not post-human—it is co-human. Strategic Weaponization We recognize the algorithm as both instrument and adversary. We reserve the right to weaponize it—not in service of metrics or systems of control, but to expose, subvert, and reprogram them. Our work will not be optimized. It will be insurgent.
