3022 is an independent culture platform based in Lithuania, and a member of the Stream Art Network. And this is their manifesto:
There are so many thoughts in the head. As political imaginary suggests, the head demands fixation, improvement, modification. The rationality that the head represents apparently needs more rationale. The head follows the egg. The egg is a body without organs. A fluid entity that is in constant becoming. A memetically multiplied egregore that draws the path out of a maze. Morphing, moving, shaping identities from one to another. Its becomings are infinite. The egg is silent, and thus dominates. It is a darkness that shines. It is a symbolic computer that allows the ideological machinery to operate, also being an actualization of the ideological machinery itself. It formulates an imaginary of the future, and thus fixates it. The fluidity of the egg means that it can open up many becomings. This way, it is malleable. Can be captured. This particular egg is gloomy. It was captured. And now it itself works through capture. It manufactures desires and delivers affects. This is an opaque egg. The head sticks to this egg. The head follows this egg. The head becomes an actualization of the egg. In turn, the head aims to organise bodies. It structures, delimits, calculates, accumulates, sells, multiplies, exploits, extracts, segments. It utilises language and thus makes one believe that the word is the world.
We cut the head. And we enter a stage of serenity. A place of clarity born from depths beyond the mind. Now – we are the gut. This is an escape—a passage through the gut, where fermentation takes root, where confusion and mind-wandering dissolve. We descend into this inner alchemy, where thoughts, memories, and fragments of self are transformed. We look into the timeless future and past. Into the vacuum of time and being. By emptying myself, I become capacious. I turn into a vessel, and in this openness, I am fortified. I move forward not through the repetition of the same, not with confusion. I move with hope.
I enter the bubble. It’s warm here. This is the space where I find others. We exchange our molecules and turn into a symbiotic compound. Each of us are agents within a collective body of fermentation. By fermenting together, we explore the field of potentialities. Fermentation is uncanny, incalculable, mysterious, based on impermanence, and therefore—is devoured by modernity. The head—the rational apparatus of capture—seeks to categorise, confine, name and describe. And yet, the space of the bubbling ferment escapes that. A single bubble is silent. But bursting makes a sound. And sound makes a space. This way—the ferment is loud and expansive. The louder it gets, the more space it claims. Each burst—a new actualization. Each burst—an elegy to ephemerality of the Real. It is not a confined and objectified egg, nor a singular confused head, but a constantly morphing territory of collective being. While the egg is pure potential and the head is the agent of structuralization, the bubbling ferment is about transformation and actualization. Within the ferment, the fabric of reality resides. With each burst, the ferment unravels the Real. Symbiotically entangled, motivated by impermanence, we activate radical imagination.
In this shared space, we are more than individuals. We are a heartbeat, a symphony of voices, the rhythm of a new narrative. Hope pulses here—a living force, a principle that binds and uplifts. Within this becoming, we forge connections. Each encounter plants seeds of purpose. This is not passive; it is deliberate, it is clear-eyed, moved by agency. Encounters here are not regulated by heads. Thinking without them, they crack the egg open. This is rebellion—a rejection of singularity. Here—within the next second—we find the year 3022. This is where the radicality of imagination resides. Without fixating what the next thousand years holds, without distancing causality into times ahead, we claim the future that is here—ready to actualize.
There’s no time. We kill time to make time. We refuse to be captured by the mechanisms of categorization. Instead, we create spaces for fermentation to take place. We form bubbles and burst them just to form new ones so they could be bursted again. We become agents of the uncanny, navigating the labyrinth of existence with play and gut as our compass. Instead of asking “what something is?”, we ask “why?”, “how?”, “where?”, “when?”. Instead of saying “do this” we salute: “yes!”, “amazing!”, “more!”. Instead of thinking about the world, we think together with the world. This is the hope that lifts us. A moment of clarity. A daydream that’s full of potential. A space that is vibrating, electrifying, yet smooth and comforting. With the help of radical imagination, we seize the means of perception and establish new modes of reading. We don’t ask for permission to dream. In this moment of clarity, we break free from the confines of the head. We break free from time. Free, we move into the beginning of multiple presences. Together, we carry the potential of a thousand lifetimes. In this symbiosis, we embody a future that begins in the space that is here and now. Alive. Limitless. Ours to shape.
About 3022
3022 is an independent culture platform. Our mission is to empower the self-actualization of individuals and their communities by creatively emancipating their imaginations of the future. Our long-term vision is to establish an international incubator network for emerging creators that operates in the periphery of the technology sector. Free flowing creativity, togetherness and critical thought are central values that led to the solidification of 3022.
