A manifesto is a statement written that openly views and presents future plans, thoughts and opinions of an individual or group on specific issues.
Manifesto of surrealism by Andre Breton (1924)
Surrealism is all about unrealistic, dreamland view of the world. Andre Breton's manifesto helps view its Utopia as an area where reality doesn't exist; distorted land, where dreams are more real than real, a place where wealth and poverty doesn't mean a thing, where he's still a new born and in reality a grown up, a "psychic automatism in pure state," is the recipe of a surrealists perfect world.
Cubism by D.J.Lingelbach
The cubists perfect world is an area where shapes, colours, and emotion exist, they view the world and look at it in many perspectives, their world is constructive and forth dimensional, an abstract world.
Dada manifesto by Tristan Tzara (1918)
The dada world is more of an "I don't Care" world, where vandalism knows no boundaries, where one's voice is heard. This is the type of world that shows that if an individual had to surpass it in reality they would be shot, well especially during that time, these days its more like something that is encouraged. Its utopia is full of rebellion, attracts journalists and artists mostly, Anti-bourgeois is the perfect word to describe Dada's ideal Utopia.
Bauhaus manifesto by Walter
Gropius(1919)
The utopian world for the Bauhaus was a world of
art being in a building that its ornamentation as the purpose of the visual
arts. That the world of mere drawing and painting of draughtsmen and
applied artists must at long become a world that builds. to create the
buildings for the future that would unite every discipline, architecture and
sculpture and painting.
De Stijl manifesto by
Theo van Doesburg(1917)
The De Stijl movement was influenced by the
Bauhaus but their views where different the utopian world for them was to see
reality in all the produced. They didn't depict nature in its natural
appearance. they were the founders of Plastic art who believed in the
reformation of art and culture to eradicate obstacles. They have eradicated all
which blocks pure artistic expression, the ultimate consequence of all concepts
of art.
When going through Facebook, the new generation easily gets bored and as a result you find teenagers talking about alcohol and drugs and most of them feed on drama. Everyone is wanting the next best thing, for instance technology, music is an important essence, influences how they feel or portray. It's a rebellious generation, they could be surrealists or Dadaists. Christianity also plays a huge role in the social world more than other religions, but one can see this generation is also looking for something to believe in, they thirst for belonging.
