Incidentalism is an attitude towards art, expression and enlightenment. Incidentalism is rooted in the idea that art is not an object, but rather art happens in the incident. Art happens when the actions of artists bring expressions into a state where they can be perceived and thereby can enlighten, art is in the moment of expression. The incidentalist's goal is to express that which is beyond their skill and or knowledge, not to educate through their work but be enlightened by it and allow these enlightening expressions to resonate unhindered. We do not include or exclude anyone from being such.
All Expressions are at the same time Original and Derivative.
Words, Colours, Shapes, Movements, Sounds and all other forms of expressions can not be owned and can not be inherently good or bad. We accept that enlightenment and the resonance of expressions to be the only legitimate reward expected from the act of art. The recipe is carefully prepared by the Incidentalist, in the preparation of the recipe the Incidentalist draws upon the sum of their knowledge and experience to construct an incident where all factors the incidentalist wants to control are skillfully planned in order to maximize the potential for enlightenment and the resonance of the associated expressions. You can not be enlightened by that which you have already conceived, therefore the Incidentalist always seeks to introduce uncontrollable or unpredictable factors into the incident of art, even as simply as leaving certain things unplanned and out of the recipe. If the outcome of an incident can be imagined by the Incidentalist, then whatever potential for enlightenment that exists from that action has already been perceived in the imagining.
