Shadow

Shadow Exploring consciousness becomes a very important part of my day, but never an obsession. I will try to understand messages behind every possible contact from which consciousness speaks. My paintings will give me wonderful insight into my inner state, and Jungian interpretation will act like a translator in this process. Sometimes chaotic painting will emerge, and sometimes clean and precise — it will be easy to distinguish style, but the way in which painting speaks will change, and this changing will happen in intervals. There will be a lot of paintings in one speaking voice, then it will become another, stay consistent for one period, then come back to the old one. This particular one was chaotic. Snake Hiding Behind Purple Shadow I would like just to mention one small thing in this painting: the line in the middle, which goes till the circle (circle which in Jungian terms means self), is colored with green but in a way which resembles snake skin (can be interpreted like shado...

Manifesto of Arawnonciuiosness

 

Manifesto of Arawnonciuiosness

The Art of Conscious Chaos


What is the Arawnonciuiosness Movement?

We are an artistic movement born from a simple yet radical idea: art does not need to hold rational meaning to be valuable.

Human perception is trapped by the limits of logic and meaning. Our rational brain constantly seeks patterns, significance, and order. Yet, all around us, the natural world thrives in what appears to be chaos: the universe, biology, ecosystems — all of it operates in perfect disorderly order.

Earth, perfectly balanced in its orbit around the Sun, embodies the chaotic perfection of the universe — randomness that is magnificent

Arawnonciuiosness embraces this truth. We seek to create art not from the rational mind, but from the pure flow of consciousness, unfiltered, spontaneous, and free from control.


Our Philosophy: Consciousness as Creation

Carl Jung said it well:

"The unconscious is the source of all creativity. What appears in the unconscious must, in its own time, be brought into the light of consciousness."Man and His Symbols

Our creative process taps directly into this stream. Through raw creation, we bypass the limitations of reason and let true art emerge from the depths of our being.

"The unconscious speaks in a language of symbols, and through creative processes like drawing, we can give form to these symbols. The spontaneous creation of symbols in art is one way in which the unconscious becomes visible."Man and His Symbols 

"I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing, which seemed to correspond to my  inner situation at the time." — The Red Book (Liber Novus)

This is not theory for us — it is our daily practice. Artists of the movement sketch, paint, write, and express not for perfection or approval, but to let consciousness dance freely across the canvas of reality.


The Urgency: AI and the Collapse of Art

Today, Artificial Intelligence rapidly invades the creative space. It mimic human behavior  ; it creates.

Examples:

  • August 2022, Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition
    Artwork: "Théâtre D’opéra Spatial"
    Artist: Jason M. Allen
    AI Tool: Midjourney
    Result: First place winner.

  • March 2023, Sony World Photography Awards
    Artwork: "Pseudomnesia: The Electrician"
    Artist: Boris Eldagsen
    Result: First place winner (artist declined award after revealing AI involvement).

And this is only 10% of AI's potential.

Soon, AI will dominate every art form. Gradually, it will shift from tool to creator. But no matter how advanced AI becomes, it will never possess conscious experience. It will never feel the pulse of existence from within. This is where we plant our flag.

Our answer is not resistance to AI, but elevation of human art to a dimension AI cannot enter: the realm of conscious creation.


Methodology: How We Create

We reject rigid techniques. Our method is simple yet profound:

  • Automatic drawing and writing: Let the hand move without thought.

  • Embrace mistakes: What you may call an error is your subconscious speaking.

  • Flow state creation: Enter a state of pure presence, allow creation to happen without forcing.

  • Reject aesthetic judgment: Beauty arises naturally when consciousness flows unchained.

Historical echoes of our method can be found in the Surrealist tradition:

"Automatic drawing was the visual counterpart of automatic writing: the hand was allowed to wander across the paper without conscious control, to give visual form to the workings of the unconscious mind."Surrealist Painting, Simon Wilson

And as André Breton wrote:

"Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express—verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner—the actual functioning of thought, dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."Manifestoes of Surrealism


Our Vision: A New Renaissance

We do not seek to compete with machines. We seek to create something machines cannot touch.

Arawnonciuiosness is more than a movement; it is an invitation to every human creator to explore the limitless depths of their own consciousness. In time, this will become not only an artistic revolution but a contribution to psychology, philosophy, and our collective understanding of reality.

We are gardeners in the garden of chaos. We plant the seeds of pure creation, we let consciousness grow wild, and we harvest the fruits of true human art.

This is our era. This is our manifesto.

Lucid=Safe

Lucid=Safe When I was a kid, I remember moments of needing to not be there, to vanish, to disappear in some way. This was in the period of my ten or twelve years. I would like to disappear for a moment. This could be the result of family problems, staying in bad situations, and wishing to disappear, with the background filled with the arguing words of my parents. When I would fall asleep, I would dream of a big monster close to the house, which I well knew not a monster  the house. This monster would come, and I would get scared and wake up, then fall asleep, and the same thing would happen until I told myself, 'Now I go to sleep, I will dream of him again and destroy him,' and it happened. After this situation, I would never  or very, very rarely, at least I don't remember  have scary dreams, and my dreams became lucid. Now, with lucid dreams, I found my safe spot, and dreaming became my escape from reality. I would start dreaming one dream, then teleport myself into ano...
