As
a nation and a Party, we must continue to move forward in
the 21st century. We must work to incorporate the avant-garde
and the spirit of experimentalism into the fabric of our
nation. The history of our next hundred years must emerge
from the rich mosaic of alternative culture, from the lofts
of San Francisco to the barrios of New York City. The Experimental
Party is America's last, only hope to bridge the divisions
of class, race, region, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
We
will fail if we continue to embrace the principles perpetuated
by our current Government of crackpots - the principles of
arrogance, abuse of power, personal gain and a frightening
lack of charisma. The Experimental Party is committed to
a conception of art revolutionized to such a degree that
it becomes a politically productive force, coursing through
each person, re-ordering the senses, intoxicating the mind,
re-shaping the present, in order to meet the tough challenges
of tomorrow.
A
Call-To-Action
The
Experimental Party is a Total Artwork - collective, united,
whole, intensive - and its Platform is a living work-in-progress
that expresses our commitment to creating meaningful and
enduring change in the political process. Our Party's first
priority is to the artist - in contrast to a system extolling
exploitation, consumption, corruption, and greed - who picks
up the message of cultural and technological challenge decades
before its transforming impact occurs. We believe in the
power of culture, independent thinking and artist-driven
government. We believe in empowering the experimental and
the disenfranchised. We offer hope a call-to-action.
Platform
Preamble
As
the post 9-11, post-apocalyptic, post-information era has
dawned, we look back with somber reflection at how we have
been as a people and a society. Realizing our actions will
be judged by future generations, we ask how, with exalted
aspirations, we can renew the best of the avant-garde, calling
forth a spirit of change and participation that speaks for
a free and experimental society. We believe the artist is
indispensable in the shaping and analysis and understanding
of the life of forms and structures brought about by digital
means in our increasingly technological culture. Basic to
this system of values is social interaction, control of technology
toward fulfilling human needs, and a belief in the ability
of individuals to take responsibility in democratic, non-coercive,
non-hierarchical situations. We submit a bold plan for our
future, a Platform upon which we can stand.
