Manifesto
Mat Bevel Company is a gizmotronic fanfare of spunk, funk and kinetic junk. Artifactual contraptions of found objects choreographed to music, poetry and light become characters, costumes and instruments of the Mat Bevel philosophy. The image is priceless but affordable. Discarded technology artfully redeployed into gadget visionistic notions of independence. An aesthetic assault on failed attitudes of consumer culture and the convenient product dependency it promotes.
Like music that ends where it started, the path of imagination is the actual work of art. A virtual pedestrian carnival, parading it’s array down the citizen beats of our lives. Discovering collages of phrasiosculpturalisms from the rich traditions of gestural mimicry. A carnivalesque engagement in pedestrian activity that demonstrates the existential antics of poetic logic in thought provoking characters of pure mechanical wisdom. And why not? Humor is a sucker punch. A bullet in the side of passiveness that will blow your eyes back into focus with a treat of sensory stimulation. People need to experience creativity within their own experience. Fascination is the passion of life, for the mind craves excitement.

Mat Bevel Company offers the excitement of creativity as a challenge to the conformity of our times. Conformity makes creativity that much more important. It’s the unexpected things that make you wonder, and wonder precedes great thought.
Insomuch as, wisdom is the voice of the wise, that will forbear the compulsion for bearing compulsion, to divert the legacy of destruction, with one foot in and one foot out; I, Mat Bevel, choose to institutionalize myself in response to the commodity bluff of a wasted spectacle. And so, with the good blessings of the planet Earth, in the spirit of resourceful behavior, let the movement begin. To institute a dialogue of creative resource available technologies, in a new generation of earthbound leaders. A necessary evolution of cultural priorities: from the frontierism of infinite domain where the planet was an adversary to conquer, to a civilized manifest of circumscription where Earth is a partner to consider.
Mat Bevel Company employs the accumulated intrigue of discovery management in a strategy, hereinafter: Available Resource Technology. The A.R.T. policy forces the issue of innovation by working only with what is available. A creative sensibility between object and function is developed through association stimulated by the materials. You can never look an idea straight in the eye for invention lies in the periphery of distraction. Problematic incentives of availability inspires a respect for one’s ability to make do.
To spot opportunity on the creative detours of life is an attitude expansion of personal vision where art is just a pleasant byproduct. Each step into the unknown is a possible mistake and a possible act of genius. If geniuses are God’s valedictorians then mistakes are God’s textbooks. We learn to stand only when we have learned what it means to fall. By inventing unexpected functional devices from available objects, we learn to juggle circumstances in context by adapting our goals to the situation. An exercise in artistic expression that examines the functional value of the things we throw away.
As Johnny Junk would say; recycle, reuse, be aware of repair for the things that you need are already there.
Mat Bevel Company presents the Surrealistic Pop Science Theater: a celebration of the human condition in overcoming the doldrums of a predictability crisis. This wow kind of experience for young people of all ages skirts a fine line between puzzlement and the brink of intuition. If it weren’t on the edge, it wouldn’t be a side show. Only fools walk down the center of the street. General Belief System Technology Project Expert, Mat Bevel explains why a guy from space is a painted saint, why it is and why it ain’t.
Trial and error coordinators receive imagination training with wow factor surprise functions of ordinary focus. The truth makes you laugh: learning from things you don’t understand. Education thru demonstration does for the art of science, what the spontaneity of less is more does for the science of art. Do and see techniques encourage the creative competence to act upon life’s multi-perceptable difficulties. By introducing people to the magnificent potential of resourceful behavior, we exercise the ability to tackle problems with imagination. Common goods make great things, and the method is what matters. It makes so much sense, that one ingenious deed of material wisdom can start a chain reaction of clever endeavor.
Mat Bevel philosophy states that with uncommon employment of common circumstances it is possible to rewrite reality. By practicing creative training methods of recycling, problem solving and the art of intuitive engineering; we tap into the biological roots of creativity, which is, to survive in the rapidly assorted ways of a culturally adaptable species. Creativity is a human quality that enables changes of habit to take place faster than through gene pool selection. Many tales of good fortune lay in reach while searching for other fortunes. Look for nothing and you will see everything.
If experience is perspective on all known phenomena, then let us ponder the sculptural personality that evolves when physical process stimulates our invention. From the landfills of philanthropy to the commitment of nature’s honesty, the accountable stewardship of Earth’s common cause is calling the commodity bluff on consumer fanfare. As Johnny Junk would say; recycle, reuse, be aware of repair for the things that you need are already there.
