I believe
that the cultural landscape of the 21st century is being revised under
the rigors of the present state of the human condition and by the
condition of the Earth's environment.
Worldwide
Peace Marker Project is a work of art presented as a "Global Peace
Offering" with the intention of sparking a relevant dialog that can
revise our expectations regarding the human conception of world peace.
With this
global collaborative work of art, an aesthetic model is emerging where
peace is viewed as an activity between our species and the world so
that our conception of war can be revised to be as not an event
between ourselves, but between us humans and anything that threatens
the integrity of the planet in its capabilities to sustain life for
all of Earth's creatures.
Worldwide
Peace Marker Project may, therefore, be thought of as our first global
act of peace for us and the planet to create a true gift to the future
of our children.

ABOUT THE WORLDWIDE PEACE MARKER PROJECT
The Worldwide Peace
Marker Project (or WPMP for short) is a work of art. You may think of it
as a collaborative installation developed by Tiité and authored by 198 other artists
who participate as Artists ambassadors representing 198 separate nations.
The
basic idea behind the project, is to create "a global peace offering."
It is worth noting that, every previous culture and civilization has made
offerings of one kind or another but never before as a single species in
an effort to reconcile humanity with itself and with the world.
The
motivation for the project also stems from the cultural need by human
civilization to experience
examples of the scale and implications associated with the idea of "globality"
in its fullest sense.
The
offering itself, is the installation of 198 markers in as many
nations to create a permanent model of art at a global scale, but also,
the creation of 198 points of peace which establishes not only the foundations
of a new notion regarding world peace at a "global" level of consciousness, but, also the start
of a new dialog about human global consciousness embracing a new relationship
regarding peace with the
planet itself.
Why would one
consider this effort to be an important contribution?
The short answer is that, if we
as a species fail to extend our perception of the world from a local
perspective to a global perspective, chances are that we will not
understand the implications of our activity on the the world in time to
react intelligently to the survival challenges involved. WPMP contributes to make that
global
perception possible.
WPMP is clearly a complex work of
art which goes beyond the
conventional boundaries of art. It does that, because the project explores
a relationship between art and life at a scale that has never been
explored before, but that art has to explore now, if art it is to be of
any service to civilization.
Because of its global
collaborative
scope, WPMP can be seen as an attempt to integrate human creativity into a new dialog
about ourselves as a species and by extension about our relationship with
the Earth
Structurally as art, WPMP is a
global installation informed by a direction in art called Data A art which
explores an extended relationship between human art and nature's
creativity in a mutual concern for life on earth.
General Objective:
Worldwide Peace Marker
Project has Four (4) principal objectives.
-
An artistic objective,
to create the first truly global work of art in the history of humanity.
That milestone expands the human spatial conception of "local"
as in the immediate home
environment to a global conception of local as in the whole of Earth as
the home environment. The
survival implications of this upgrade to the future of life on Earth are
staggering and worth exploring.
-
A Cultural
objective, to contribute a credible example of artists from every
nation in the world demonstrating that humanity that can work collaboratively
and globally as a single species. The exercise may prove invaluable to
inform other initiatives addressing some of the critical challenges we face as a
species in the 21st century.
-
A Humanitarian
objective, to establish a
minimal full scale working model of world peace that is presented to the world as
"a
Global Peace Offering" expressed by the first interactive 198 points
of peace ever to take residence in our planet and in our minds.
-
A reconciliatory objective, the
project being realized in between
the aesthetic of human creativity and the aesthetic of life in the
natural world, provides a way to conceive or visualize that a
reconciliation between human nature and Nature outside of the human domain
is not only possible but within our grasp.
The project’s headquarters
is located at 1133 Del Prado Blvd. #4, Cape Coral, Florida, U.S.A.
