I found this art manifesto on something called Hypercubism, and I am into it. Looks to have maybe originated circa ~2013 or so. It’s a little wordy, as manifestos tend to be, but bear with me. Some highlights:
Hypercubism is a temporal aesthetics characterized by the simultaneous experience of multiple timelines. […]
Hypercubism is an aesthetics of dimensional collapse contingent on what we see as the formal limitations of the basic units of visual digital media: the pixel and the frame. […]
Hypercubism is an aesthetics of simulation and speculation which suggests a possible future medium whose basic unit can be described poetically as a hypercube – a volumetric unit of hypercubist space which is frameless and generative. […]
Hypercubism values synthesis over analysis
Hypercubism values transcendence over critique
Hypercubism values transformation over destruction
Hypercubism values object-orientation over objectification
Hypercubism acknowledges the limits of sensory perception
Hypercubism strives towards a higher dimensionality
Hypercubism is not a movement but rather a vantage point […]The concept of an ontograph which “records the presence of many potential unit operations, a profusion of particular perspectives on a particular set of things.” as detailed in the book Alien Phenomenology (Ian Bogost, 2012). […]
Aspects of this closely follow what I was getting at independent of the above in the idea of the hypercanvas, and with narrative topologies.
