NEOHARLEQUIN
The Neoharlequin is the spirit of the age — the singular figure that parades through the conscience of society and culture. At all times, the Neoharlequin is straddling two worlds; the world of yesterday (that which is passing), and the world of tomorrow (that which is transpiring); thereby existing in the third realm, the realm of the spirit. The Neoharlequin is the representation of the marriage of these two worlds, thereby being the child that is born — the idea, the pattern, the form. The Neoharlequin can be personified in many forms. Sometimes in the event itself that is taking place, other times the Neoharlequin is embodied in the composition of the event, or the symbol or the structure of a thing, but the most potent form of the Neoharlequin is appearing as a human being, indicating the summation of that which is, and that which shall always be; that is, what is coming to be; that is, the becoming.
The Neoharlequin is the spirit of the perfect human, the culminating effect of all that exists as the highest form of being a human, while at the same time, also being of pure spirit — the spirit that moves as the Zeitgeist of culture. He or she stands bold and whimsical, musical and dignified, courageous in holding within his or herself the transformative quality that is the hallmark of a society in transition.
In this case, transition to a truly bold new world. A world that no one has ever touched or gone to before, but that is promised as our future by the forms and conventions of the day. A world that can only be grasped through imagination, and this is precisely what the Neoharlequin personifies — the world of imagination — where spiritual things are entified and material things are spiritualized. A world where feelings and intuitions, inspirations and visions are paramount. It is a world of transcendence. In this world, what is felt is the pull towards that which is becoming — the coming of an age that blends traditional qualities with cybernetic energies, issuing the grand sensibility that has accompanied those civilizations and societies that rose up at the breakthrough of a new frontier for humanity.
The Neoharlequin is a singular figure representing this transformation, this evolution, this boldly going where no one has gone before. This embodiment that is the exemplification of what is known through the sciences and the arts as a new age of enlightenment, a divine enlightenment. The Neoharlequin is an embodiment that sees the reality for what it truly is: emptiness embodying form, form embodying emptiness — in other words, the illusion. They see reality as we know it, as an illusion, verified, and the coming of this illusion as we also know it, as a birthing of the New. In other words, the Neo — that which gives birth to the new — and this is the heart of the Neoharlequin. The Neoharlequin is the figurative embodiment of the Neoillusion, which is the reality of our lives. The Neoharlequin is the spirit of the age who in appearance, manners and attitude is the Neodandi in pursuit of the Way of Neoillusion.
