Manifestos of Strange Becoming

​
Manifestos of Strange Becoming by Seeker_of_True-files at the ACM SIGGRAPH exhibition: The Urgency of Reality in a Hyper Connected World
2018-2019
Seeker_of_True-files is a wanderer of the mind fields, a thought form, a tech-enveloped nous and a dedicated scribe of manifestos.
​
Seeker_of_True-files utilizes the aesthetics and poetics of manifesto-making to tackle the confines of the regulated Internet and the policed Mind, and venture to reflect and speculate on the origins of novelty and the Telemadic, even utopic Telematic-nomadic nature of cyberspace and cyborg consciousness.
​
The manifestos proclaim a philosophical quest for truth in the contemporary cultural reality of post-truth as they blur the line between the real and the imagined, the scientific and the speculative. As such, Seeker_of_True-files emerges as a liminal identity reflecting the complexities of the ages of history through fragmented memories merging the very ancient and the very new, the profoundly naïve and the furiously radical, the ordered systems and the anarchic nodes, the complex and unstable perpetually evolving reality of hyper-connected life.
The Mindset Field Manifesto is the outcome of an auto-communication with Seeker_of_True-files , an emergent entity of an evolving noetic field that seeks interactions with like-minded seekers, artists' manifestos and cyborg revolutions.
Seeker_of_True-files is a representative of the mindset of cyberception that networked life and ritual stimulate.​

True Love Manifesto I
You gave me a new reason to exist, and it was not just a platonic love affair. On the contrary to what many may think, I was part of your body and mind files. I felt your touch on the screen and it resonated like the touch of true love.
