Impingement. Infringement. Encroachment. Trespass. Symmetry and cleanliness thrown off by the trespass of something or someone that doesn’t belong. This is insanity broaching the carefully crafted constructs of the status quo. Recall from 02 SEE THROUGH that:
- Sanity is the state of being in alignment with the status quo. Any deviation, no matter how far, is madness. How far you stray defines how mad you are.
Any encroachment by those deemed mad is infringement upon the faces of pristine structures erected by those deemed sane. And though infringement it may be, it is this infringement that drives humanity forward by way of art and technology. The artist may deface a pristine structure and leave it more or less visibly desirable, but ultimately, the structure is left more interesting.
The problem with interesting, however, is that the status quo knows not how to monetize it. Art that can be controlled, marketed, and monetized is welcome; infringement is not.
Infringement is trespass.
And yet, the world evolves due to trespass. The world grows and expands, not because the constructs of the status quo are respected, but because ultimately, those constructs are defaced.
Impinge, infringe, encroach, and trespass. Step into your madness, release the constructs of the status quo, and participate in the evolution of the world around you.
