artistic navigator manifesto

Every civilian institution needs an ‘artistic navigator’ on the payroll just for living their authentic reality. Purely to connect the institutions employee to an artistic journey — potentially a former employee finding their ‚ikigai‘.

A trusted band between two worlds that is currently dissolving into unimaginable extremes causing conflict and war.

Naturally an artistic navigators response to any given habitat constantly interprets the collective and individual being and their inherent relationship. Thus, inspiring society to find a deep rooted sense in nature, liberty and the power of human to human connection.

Like the calming crafting force of the ocean the contract between civilian institution and ‘artistic navigator’ is purely philanthropic only a reference to the navigators artistic manifest. 

Its about healing the individual vessel, healing the collective vessel while steering collective endeavours, planned within each vessel, like kintsugi with trust in our natural gifts and abilities to constantly learn. Sketching a perspective like a river following a direction from the source inside the ‘artistic navigators’ flowing out into the civilian institutions’ space its destination where healing energy and inspiration is needed. Business plans and science are the fish floating in that same water yet the ‘artistic navigator’ finds ways to mirror their current direction and finding livelihood in caring for a societies healthy fish diet.  

It is the missing link in the private sector to mirror the existing ties between state and church. A true and authentic artistic journey has gotten more difficult as art becomes a commodity as most things have. With rise of non fungible tokens the art market is disrupted like music streaming platforms and radio impacted the length of music tracks. 

The process of making art was also disrupted. Universally a true and authentic artistic journey touches upon intellectual properties, physical ones and how in mainstream POV often neglected a spiritual one. The church is a sustained entity in the public sector next to the state. 

When their perspectives find an agreeable overlap we witness how they shape the boundaries of our society by law & order and morals & ethics respectively. As the power play between the public and private sector evolved into producing companies that would exceed the GDP ranking above the majority of countries in the world. 

It is time to introduce a dark horse to be assigned by the public sector with the mission to balance out the asymmetry. The definition of what an ‘artistic navigator’ is remains in their own manifestation of their ikigai. Deliberately tying these individuals not only to civilian institutions but connecting them across the globe through a network opens space for healthy synergies. 

The collective understanding of what art is, currently seems to be reaching just below surface when it ought to be dived into. By anchoring ‘socio-financial’ counterweights to company growth rates through law & order. Art is set free to mind up a new definition that is contextual based as it sets free that human urge to fill the void and create our own language and culture around it. 

Maybe along that path we create a reality where ‘artistic navigators’ spend their day realising ideas sketched out in ‘Hundertwasser for future’ or a sculpture driven journey embarking in collecting plastic waste out of beaches to transform it into something we have never seen context for. As for society ‘The horizontal belongs to nature. The vertical belongs to man’ it also goes for the mind, body and soul in response to the context. Imagination belongs to the dreamers. The word belongs to the storytellers.
