Technical Manual for Creating the Art of New Humanism
Abstract
Title: Technical Manual for Creating the Art of New HumanismAuthor: Pietro Franesi Abstract:This technical manual addresses the systemic crisis of artistic production under the paradigm of platform capitalism—defined here as "techno-feudalism"—where creative outputs are reduced to private financial commodities and data-feeds for extractive algorithms. To counteract this exploitation, this work introduces the operational framework of the "Art of New Humanism." Moving away from Renaissance individualist aesthetics centered on the "I," this new paradigm establishes a collective, network-symbiotic infrastructure centered on the "We." The manual outlines exact technical protocols for the de-commodification of art using decentralized P2P architectures (IPFS/NDN), data-poisoning defensive mechanisms, and viral copyleft deployment. It defines a quantum aesthetic model where the artwork functions as a probabilistic, wave-like entity in perpetual mutation, collapsing into temporary formal states only through direct participant interaction. Building upon the empirical benchmark of the Franesi Neural Immersive Protocol (Franesi, 2026; DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20668155), which structurally weaponizes Mark Rothko's anti-systemic legacy, this text provides architectural specifications for "Latent Infrastructures." Within these systems, the artist acts as a systems engineer, traditional curatorial filters are made obsolete through open automated governance, and the visitor is elevated to the primary authorial source. Finally, the manual details the institutional implementation of the "Paganini Protocol" for 24-hour volatile public exhibitions and anchors this structural revolution in contemporary neurological laws of collective brain self-organization.
