Digital Abstract Expressionism Association

Digital Abstract Expressionism Association (DAEA)

Manifesto

We are the world’s sole artistic movement of Digital Abstract Expressionism.

We position digital technology not merely as a tool, but as a device for structuring thought.

Digital is the vessel through which the movement of consciousness translates into form.

Within this framework, the relationship between consciousness and existence becomes visible, and abstract expression is redefined within the contemporary landscape of the mind.

Form is not the result of thought.

It is the process through which thought seeks to manifest itself.

Art is not a material object; it is the very space in which existence and consciousness intersect.

Through exhibitions, creation, publication, and dialogue, we present moments in which consciousness becomes form, and we explore the fundamental meaning of art — the question, "What does it mean to exist?"

Our activities are non-profit, sustained by members, supporters, and sponsors who resonate with our philosophy.

Support is not a mere donation.

It is a philosophical participation that sustains artistic inquiry socially, and a spiritual act that shares creative thought.

Art is thought that transcends form, and thought moves in search of form.

We call the space generated between these two movements art.

The Digital Abstract Expressionism Association is a community of those who contemplate and create together within that space.
