Manifesto


In a world where the art market obsesses over flawless outcomes and polished results, Didots stands as a defiant platform that celebrates the beauty of the unfinished, the power of process, and the creativity born from chaos. Our manifesto is a declaration of intent, a call to disrupt the status quo and challenge the norms of perfection and market-driven art.

We reject the notion that value lies solely in the final product. Instead, we believe in the transformative potential of the fragment, the experiment, and the failure. At Didots, every sketch, draft, and abandoned idea is not a failure, but a critical touchpoint, a spark that can ignite new worlds and expand our collective imagination.

This manifesto is more than just words; it is a collective cry from the margins, a reflection of a shared desire to create without the shackles of market demands, to explore without the pressure of perfection. It embraces the spirit of Exquisite Corpse, where creativity flows freely, unconstrained by hierarchy or control, and where every unexpected connection becomes a new narrative.

Didots invites you to join a new creative undercommons, where we weave together fragments of thought, embrace the imperfect, and forge connections that go beyond the surface. This manifesto is not a roadmap; it is an open invitation to co-create a space where the value lies in the unpredictable, the messy, and the beautifully incomplete.

Together, we reject the polished veneer of the art world and instead embrace the raw, the real, and the revolutionary. Welcome to Didots — where imperfection is the new frontier, and every touchpoint is a doorway to the unexpected.



MOTTO


  1. We are not here to be products. We’re here to be voices.
  2. If you’re fed up with being told what to create, you’re not alone.
  3. Invisible labor is a living archive.
  4. Present absence is what you can’t see behind a masterpiece.
  5. If nothing lasts, why not playing with everything? A modern Sisyphus does not know how to map out the geography of Hades’ Underworld.
  6. Unexpected encounters penetrate power laws. New space emerges.
  7. Activitude must be defended
  8. Digitdots is a touchpoint effect. Touch is a way to care. 
  9. Individuals are books, individuals are curators, individuals are voices.
