Publisher's Synopsis
Manifesto of the Futurist Demonology I: The Unleashing of the Demonic Forces We, the practitioners of Futurist Demonology, proclaim the liberation and unleashing of the demonic forces that reside within the depths of human consciousness. We reject the notion of demons as purely malevolent entities and instead embrace them as catalysts for transformation and creative disruption. The demons within us possess untapped potential, waiting to be harnessed and channeled towards new realms of artistic expression. II: Embracing Chaos and Transgression We embrace chaos as the fertile ground from which new ideas and possibilities emerge. The demonic realm is one of boundless disorder, where norms and conventions are shattered, and transgression reigns supreme. We reject the limitations imposed by societal norms and seek to defy expectations, embracing the provocative and the taboo. In this realm of radical exploration, we challenge the boundaries of art, language, and thought. III: The Demonic Aesthetic The aesthetic of demonology is one of sublime grotesquery and unsettling beauty. We revel in the collision of the grotesque and the sublime, creating works that provoke and disturb. Our art delves into the darkest recesses of the human psyche, extracting the raw essence of fear, desire, and madness. Through our expressions, we confront the shadows that lurk within us, bringing them into the light for introspection and revelation. IV: Rituals of Transformation We engage in rituals of transformation, where the self is shed and reconfigured. Through performance, sound, visual art, and other mediums, we immerse ourselves in the liminal space between the human and the demonic. These rituals allow us to tap into the primal energies that lie dormant within, unearthing hidden potentials and forging new paths of artistic exploration. V: Embracing the Uncanny The uncanny is our playground, where the familiar becomes unsettling and the unfamiliar becomes strangely alluring. We revel in the blurred boundaries between the real and the imagined, the living and the lifeless. Through the fusion of the human and the demonic, we create works that challenge perceptions, defying conventional categorizations and inviting contemplation of the unknown.
