Manifestos of Methodicism: aloalo.co.jp/nakazawa/method/ This issue features The Method Machine for the second straight month. The next issue will be back to the usual style. >>>CALL FOR PROPOSALS: "The Method Machine" is a group that realizes Methodicistic art works through using new physical bodies. Now the members are invited on the occasion of its formation. The first public performance will be held in October, 2004. The Specifications for The Method Machine - The Method Machine is a group of human beings that calls itself a machine. - For that reason, the members of The Method Machine must train their bodies through practice. - The Method Machine is an independent group having a cooperative relation to the three Methodicists. - For that reason, The Method Machine realizes art works by not only the three Methodicists but also other artists of all ages and countries. - The Method Machine is a group specialized for realizing art works, not for creating them. - For that reason, The Method Machine does not realize art works created by its members. The Oath of The Method Machine - We will do anything in order to realize Method Art! - We will practice individually at least 30 minutes a day! - We will never be absent from the joint practice to be held 2 times a month! The Method Machine is expected to be a permanent group made of around a score of people. Tsurumi Sachiyo (composer) is president. Adachi Tomomi (former Methodicist, musician) and Terasaki Keitaro (composer) are advisers. The three Methodicists are the godfathers.
