Dear friends,
I am writing to bring to your attention a very important movement that is emerging in the art world, even as we speak (or write). The movement is Nowism, and the time to act is Now. The reason: all important movements need a manifesto. This is what we need (now): a set of contemplations, flashes of insight, words — to take Nowism to the next level.
There are no rules, there are no prerequisites. This movement grows as its numbers grow; it evolves as its proponents evolve — so don’t feel that you can’t write about nowism just because you don’t know about it. Nowism only knows as much as you know.
To write said manifesto, all I ask is for you to think of what you’re thinking right now, and to write it. It can be as long or as short as you wish. This page is intended as a forum for all Nowists to exchange their views about this important movement. Remeber, your level of knowledge on Nowism is irrelevant. What matters is what you know right now. So get started – write something!

Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus etc. There have been many manifestoes. Nowism is more important than all previous manifestos combined.

Pingback by Nowism: Taking the art world by storm « Mind Gap May 21, 2009 @ 10:11 pmDigitality threatens to destroy existing forms of material meaning. Nowism both embraces and rejects the implications of this.
Now is more important than later.

Comment by A.J. Steel May 24, 2009 @ 9:04 pmNowism is not a postmodern movement. Postmodernism is dead. Nowism is both a movement and an era.
