Manifesto

Inkorporated!

 

Fellow Artists!

You were born like this - it’s not your fault. You were not born to fit in or to belong. You were born with a burning desire to express yourself. The more you ignore it, or temporarily lose the ability to create, the more you suffer.

First, you must fully accept it: you cannot bear a life without creativity. There is immense power in that truth. Fear has no place in creation. In this world, fear may sometimes be rewarded as a survival mechanism, but in the realm of art, it brings zero reward, only punishment.

Fear is not your friend. Embrace courage. You may think that letting go of fear is risky - but when you live in fear, there is nothing left to live for.

Your anxiety comes from your brain trying to process two choices at once: survival or expression. Annihilate the possibility that you can live without expression - then courage becomes effortless.

Do not kill the child inside.

This is heavy stuff, so let’s break the ice.

We present to you a chance to let the child lead again: a 100x100 pixel canvas. What can you do with that? Remember: the real world began with a few atoms, the building blocks of everything. The digital world began with a 0 and a 1, giving you the pixel — the building block of your digital microverse.

Fellow Human Beings!

You, too, have the urge to create and express. Every day you wake up to make a change. Every key you press, every slide of your mouse, creates impact.

But you often cannot see it. You undervalue your effort because the big picture escapes you. We are here to tell you: we can see it. From the outside, your contribution is clear.

We are here to help you see it yourself - by giving you the chance to create, to experiment, and to find value in a tiny 100x100 pixel canvas. What changes will you make?

 

Small rules for a small game!

1. You must draw.
Even a single pixel counts - but can you make it count?

2. You must not own.
Unless, of course, you buy your work first.

3, You must submit.
The only failure we accept is: No internet: ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED.

4. You must share.
Your art will always belong to the eyes of the beholder.

5. You must consume.
Your art - Others’ art - The Hall of Fame
That’s the point, isn’t it?

7. You must rank.
Only high-ranking artworks make it to the Hall of Fame Auction.

8. You must do anything to win.
Anything is allowed — except what’s impossible.

9. YOU MUST DO ANYTHING TO WIN!
We pick the winners.

10. Last but not least:
If you play the game, you must enjoy the game.
