exorcism of the arty-christ

A Ritual of Rebirth Through Art, Sound, and Spirit The Exorcism of the Arty-Christ is a healing performance ritual that merges visual performance, sound, and the transformative power of creative expression. Born from the ashes of global lockdown and collective grief, this work speaks to the soul of artists who, in isolation, confronted the death of the old world and gave birth to new ways of being. As the world stood still, many artists found themselves stripped of the distractions and demands that once defined them. In that quiet chaos, a deeper purpose emerged: to create not for applause or commerce, but for healing, for truth, and for humanity. This piece honors those who transmuted darkness into clarity. It is both a release and a rebirth—an exorcism of artistic trauma, of institutional constraint, of the spiritual weight we carried through the pandemic. Through this ritual, we shed what no longer serves and make space for the sacred. From these ashes rose GNOME Carbon Colony9—a path for artists to create with intention, ecological awareness, and devotion to the human spirit. This colony is not a place, but a calling—a new way forward for those who use their art as medicine and mirror. Sometimes, what we perceive as darkness is the universe slowing us down so we can listen, remember, and begin again.
