Digital Abstract Expressionism Association — Human Archive Specification / Fixed Edition
Definition
The Digital Abstract Expressionism Association is a practical formation established solely by Takeshi Maki through his practice of Digital Abstract Expressionism.
Digital Abstract Expressionism is not a digitization of historical Abstract Expressionism.
It is an independent artistic movement that emerged through the reconstruction of abstract expression under conditions unique to digital environments.
The difference between analog and digital does not constitute a difference in value or essence.
It is solely a difference in the mode of materialization.
Within the Digital Abstract Expressionism Association, what is regarded as essential is neither method nor form, but the internal necessity by which a work could not have failed to come into existence.
The Digital Abstract Expressionism Association does not evaluate art.
It does not select or rank works.
External criteria—including history, biography, exhibition records, and market value—have no involvement whatsoever in the coming-into-existence of a work.
The only condition addressed is whether a work has come into existence through internal necessity.
The Digital Abstract Expressionism Association is not an educational institution.
It does not prescribe artistic direction, assign themes, or transmit theory.
Exhibition, presentation, and documentation function solely as traces of the fact that a work has already come into existence.
They are not devices for generating value.
Within digital environments, works are immediately consumed, evaluated, and absorbed into institutional frameworks.
While remaining within this environment, the Digital Abstract Expressionism Association engages in practices that neutralize value generation itself.
It maintains a condition in which comparison and hierarchy cannot be established, preserving only the fact of a work's presence.
The philosophical ground of the Digital Abstract Expressionism Association lies in Inwardism.
Inwardism is an original term and concept created by Takeshi Maki for his own art theory.
It is not derived from, affiliated with, or a form of any existing philosophical term, school of thought, art term, or art theory.
Inwardism is an art theory that disconnects the value of a work from external systems and establishes internal necessity as the sole ground of a work's value.
The Digital Abstract Expressionism Association does not advocate Inwardism as an ideology.
Its ground is demonstrated exclusively through the coming-into-existence of works themselves.
Although bearing the designation of an “association,” the Digital Abstract Expressionism Association is not an institution.
It is neither a doctrinal organization nor a movement in the conventional sense.
It is a practical formation of art establishment theory that came into existence through an internal necessity that resists institutionalization.
