Manifesto of Meta-Realism 

As the life sciences use more and more terms borrowed from the computer sciences to describe biology and the behavior of living things, and as, in contrast, computer algorithms become more and more complex to the point of outsmarting humans in games, economics and other different intelligence based fields. The gap between realty and augmented reality just beginning to close and the question that arise in contemporary generations is what will remain from humanity as we know it, or in different view, what we can create as artists today that will be relevant to the continuation of the history of art in the 21th century.

In correlation, the tools of digital artists in different medias are merging: film-games-music-art-dance etc. are predicted to be created in one all-encompassing tool (a trend seen in tablet devices or in adobe suits).

In comparison to these predictions, we are told that there are no right answers to what art will be when AI will be better in art practices then humans, and that the future remains unclear and everchanging in a singularity paradox. Non-the less it's our job as artists to try and understand the gap between the world as it is today and the world to become tomorrow as it's getting wider and irreversible.

In my opinion once all esthetic arts will be made by non-human algorithms, and once humanity will face only one all-encompassing global interface for creation, the true essence of humanity and its ability to contribute to the world will be manifested by the means and endeavors different from today's esthetics and norms, to say, the history of art will not be obsolete but will be in need of a translation to a new kind of medium language.

​and so these outlines appear:

1.

Meta - Realism reacts to artifacts that are defined in relation to Realism art progression.

2.

Meta - Realism can recognize and even incorporate Realism copies in itself.

3.

Meta - Realism can be found today in the space in the "third territory" between medias

 

I am searching and researching Meta - Realism in the world by reacting & creating it.

The creation of Meta - Realism manifest in the correlations and gaps between originals.

and so my original art is a corpus dedicated to meta-realism.

I invented this version of Meta - Realism TM (2014) as part of my artistic documentaion.

I do Meta - Realism. 2003-2016
