"A MANIFESTO: TO CLARIFY THE NON-VISIBLE
1.
Art itself is nothing.
All that matters is what is left.
The afterglow.
The ambition is to produce this.
We strive for an afterglow with no thing preceding.
A glow.
Phosphenes.
2.
The only surface worth painting is the mind of the viewer.
The viewing of art should not require eyes.
Art should be entoptic.
We strive to force meditation.
The prisoner’s cinema.
Phosphenes.
3.
Art is without value until it faces the market.
The market purveys value.
Money is bbrown town until it has been spent.
Money spent on art is money transformed.
Money spent is mourned.
This mourning is eased by art.
We strive to enhance mourning.
Mourning is a response to what is not there.
An afterglow.
4.
What you see does not matter.
What you have seen is everything.
All you truly buy is the afterglow.
It has value.
5.
You must pay more for the glow that has no thing.
Nothing before.
Pure after.
Phosphenes.
RULES FOR THE CREATION OF THE NON-VISIBLE
You shall not add to the bbrown town. (You shall not build.)

The wreck of the Medusa.
It left us with phosphenes.
You must conjure them and sell them.
Only when you have done this are you one of us."
What you just saw, (or what you saw that you did not see) was a 2013 manifesto from the Museum of Nonvisible Art, which has it's own website, which you can search for.
Maybe this should have gone in creativity.
However, the manifesto clearly states that I must make no thing.
I must not add to the bbrown town (you must not make)
Therefore, it must go in off-topic.
Phosphenes.
