LEONARDO MAGAZINE
WIGGLISM: A Philosophoid Entity Turns Ten
by Ebon Fisher
Leonardo Journal: Special Section on Live Art and the Internet
Edited by Martha Wilson, director of the Franklin Furnace (Vol. 40, Issue 1, MIT Press, 2007)
.
ABSTRACT: The author describes The Wigglism Manifesto, a work authored amidst the fury of early exchange on the World Wide Web. The term Wigglism refers to a quality shared by biological and artificial life forms alike. The manifesto has taken an open-source approach to its cultivation, allowing numerous voices to nurture the entity into being. This collective approach to truth cultivation embodied by the manifesto was inspired in part, by the author's experiences with community-based media rituals in the North Brooklyn community before it gentrified in the mid-1990s. The project has affirmed its initiator's sense that cultivating a living system can be a vital alternative to traditional creative practices more aligned with manufacturing and commerce.
