| Research Abstract |
In this research project I compare this spontaneous power of people to “occupy” and redefine the space with artistic creativity. Then I investigate the possibility of empowering such activism by art through case studies, such as the “(Park)ing Day” , the “Critical Mass”, the “Sidewalks for People” which I called Nowtopian movement. They have a highly decentralized, DIY character, which demands strong artistic creativity.A participatory art, empowering everybody to be an artist, will help activists explore their causes and desires more deeply, diversify their expressions, intensify their interaction with each other on every level including subconscious or contextual ones. It will result in a powerful ecosystem of people creating Public Space. This empowerment will be vital for activists to avoid a trap of fetishism, which can make them stick to a cliche easily co-opted by commercialism, or doctrinarism, resulting in a new power controlling others. Continuously being creative and explorative with the help of art, activists can not only resist but can also successfully grow out of the fetishistic way of life capitalism imposes on them.
