Taking over art.
Oekaki Connect is a powerhouse of creative energy. We are a highly motivated group and will push beyond the expectations and so-called limits others impose on themselves. We believe in the endless march of our art. We do not believe in over-saturation. We will continue to produce art, and continue to make new innovative art so long as we please to. We will make art that is made for commercial purposes, and art that is made for the beauty and joy of it. In everything we do, we will inspire joy.
We're still early. And so are you!
The world is changing. The world is going to be different. We are going to be different. We are going to be better.
To win, you have to be in it for the art. You have to be in it for the fun. You have to be in it for the love. Truth and beauty will always win. We are on the side of truth and beauty always and will uphold them as our primary and ultimate values. Everything is for love.
The Oekaki Manifesto
Oekaki Connect (OC) is a distributed collective of artists, writers, and engineers who are creating the next revolution in art.
Words like art have a variety of meanings in relation to the human experience. Specifically, our art is the kind of enthusiastic expression that is part of the cumulative remix of cultural adaptations, the endless thread of human joy not often curated within histories but always there. We are not shy about loving awesome art. We will boldly define products like video games as art as it suits us. The destination of the commercial or the high is irrelevant to us. We simply see and make what we want to. We do not care for the opinions of those who would seek to limit the definition of art to only the most pretentious of expressions. What matters is what is good, what is beautiful, what is true.
Like art, we care about fun. Like art, fun can be defined in a variety of ways. You know fun when you see it, when you feel it, and if you can't agree on what is fun, what great value fun is, then you do not belong here. If you are anti-fun, you certainly are not welcome.
Finally, love. Love is the most important thing. Love is the reason we are here. Love is why we do what we do. The love for the art, the love for each other. We create eternal bonds with our loved ones, our friends, our community as we do our great work. Love is a defining motivation for OC.
Art. Fun. Love. These are the three pillars of Oekaki Connect.
