OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED BY:
by Randall M. Packer
Secretary, US Department of Art & Technology
We Declare War on War
"Weapons that change consciousness can call the war game into
question." - William Burroughs
As artists, WE can act in a time of great consequence. WE have a duty
to protect millions from a terrible and deep anxiety resulting from
self-created and deadly dangers that are growing beyond our control.
The only valid experimental approach is one based on the
uncompromising critique of existing conditions and their conscious
intervention.
Today, the gravest danger we face, the gravest danger facing America
and the world, is the existential darkness that has possessed our
government, that grips its soul.
We must introduce everywhere a revolutionary alternative to the
ruling culture; we must orchestrate - through art, criticism and
propaganda, illusion as a revolutionary weapon.
We must advance experimental behavior, hyper-political propaganda,
and the construction of new environments.
In a whirlwind of madness and horror, terror and peril, hail and
fire, our faith is sure, our resolve is firm, and our artistic union
is strong.
May the artist guide us now through 10,000 Acts of Artistic Mediation
across the nation and around the world.
Sending artists into battle is the most profound decision a Secretary
can make. The technologies of art have changed; the risks and
suffering of art have not.
Today I have a message for the men and women who will fight for
peace, members of the nation's and world's artists: Many of you are
assembling in your studios and lofts, and crucial hours lay ahead. In
those hours, the success of our cause will depend on you. Your
training has prepared you. Your aesthetics will guide you. You
believe in a model of society where free and experimental modes of
conduct will prevail, and yes, we will prevail.
For according to Andre Breton, "perhaps the imagination is on the
verge of recovering its rights."

The US Department of Art and Technology is the United States
principal conduit for facilitating the artist's need to extend
aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real
action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of
all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity
from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere.
The Experimental Party
http://www.experimentalparty.org
The Experimental Party - the "party of experimentation" - is an
artist-based political party that has been formed to activate
citizens across the country in an effort to bring the artists'
message to center stage of the political process. This is a political
awakening, 'representation through virtualization' is the major
political thrust of the Experimental Party, it is the driving force.
