Welcome to explore The Island of Manstaria: ¬ Experience Continued! If you haven't been visiting Main Land (Art of Experience) I better give you some clues as to where this exploring expedition can take you. Basically, it's an experiental journey navigating existence here and beyond. It's about seeing and investigating things from novel perspectives, focusing the proverbial and outlandish, where experience, existence and identity - those commonly perceived "hard tools" for the understanding of the human being - are grasped as loose categories, constantly intertwined with non-identity markers, shaping each other in an "I-in-becoming" process; the I reversing itself for new angles of coming into being. The theme of death is one major topic, but here death does not equal the long term, but the position where new "I-in-becomings" can take place. Art of Experience as an idea is thus about using the medium of artworks as a door opening for the soul, with change as the everlasting eternal. On the pages we (de)contextualize, (dis)connect and associate artworks in a visual exploring narrative; death, life and the mystic forces that sourrounds us. The page "More about Art of Experience" gives a fuller picture of the whole thing. All in all, the common denominator here, as far as the experiment considers, is that everything has been created in a curiosity to see what will be(come) - as one aspect of a work in progress.
           In case you're already familiar with the concept Art of Experience (as it's done here, that is) I should not dwell on the subject any further. And, if you haven't seen the first site, why don't you check it out here?! I will, however, say this before I leave you to it: On this site we have linked music to the pages, both to boost the page character (that is, the music here functions as a medium that adds an element to the perception of the theme), and as a way to explicate the significance of music and voices in the creation process. Core sources of inspiration are - always! - Bruce Dickinson's solo works, people in contact with their Creative Souls, like my awesome friends on MySpace! And, a final thing, while the main Land site was already finished when launched on the net, in the sense that all artworks presented where there from the start, this one is not; The Island of Manstaria is a construction zone in progress, it'll be constantly built up with new themes, presented in their own shifting framings, lay-outs, colours, thoughts, music, interconnections, etc. The idea is that the new artwork theme will come alive on the net one by one, as soon as they've been "born", in an ever-changing journey. So why don't you come back here every now and again and check out the latest from Art of E!
