The Earth Nouveau movement is composed of MANY diverse submovements / genres.
Solarpunk is one of them.
Artur Piszek recently published a blog article on the subject: Solarpunk is the future I want.
Olivia Lai is writing on it too, in this recent Earth.org publication: Solarpunk Is the Future We Should Strive For.
Artur, Olivia, same. Yes.
The genre is growing in popularity, with a community website launched from Burning Man, a Summit, an annual SolarPunk Art Festival now being hosted by Yishan Wong.
Solarpunk is a speculative fiction genre and artistic movement that imagines optimistic futures where society has successfully implemented sustainable and eco-friendly technologies, fostering harmony between humans, nature, and technology. It often explores themes such as renewable energy, community resilience, social justice, and environmental stewardship. Solarpunk narratives and artwork offer hopeful visions of the future, contrasting with the dystopian narratives prevalent in many other science fiction genres.
Some popular artists and writers associated with solarpunk include Alexander von Humboldt (artist), Jay Springett (author, theorist), N.K. Jemisin (author), Adam Flynn and Miss Harriet "H" Spark (Co-founders of the solarpunk movement), Olivia Louise (illustrator), Claudia Cangini (ClaudiaSG on DeviantArt)... and many more unnamed.
Flynn and Spark have written essays and curated artwork that explore the possibilities of solarpunk futures. The Sunvault Anthology is another highlight, edited by Phoebe Wagner and Bronte Christopher Wieland. Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation is an anthology of short stories and poems that envision solarpunk futures. It features contributions from various authors exploring themes of sustainability and social justice.
Olivia Louise's artwork often depicts scenes of eco-friendly cities, renewable energy, and sustainable living, capturing the essence of solarpunk aesthetics. Claudia is a digital artist whose work often features intricate cityscapes adorned with greenery, renewable energy sources, and futuristic technology, Claudia Cangini's art embodies the spirit of solarpunk optimism.
There is no doubt these minds will be forever beloved as the instigators of an incredibly inspiring ideation space for the climate generation. I'm looking forward to getting to know the next generations of artists and thinkers they inspire. I'm especially excited to witness the crafters of narrative that embrace the challenge of writing the futures we want to see into fiction - rather than those we fear.
As Alyssa Hull recently writes in her LitHub piece, climate narratives that go beyond apocalyptic imagination will be required for humanity to co-create their own flourishing. No dystopian apocalypse need manifest!
We can only create what we can envision! Onwards, solarpunk artistes! #EarthNouveau
Do creatives have the power to hack the Matrix and recode it in service to all life? The answer may surprise you!
According to physicists like David Bohm, the universe is holographic in nature. WAIT stay with me! I know I know. Dense term. I was pulled into utter fascination with Bohm's articulation of holography after I serendipitously intersected with the Holomovement Conference in Asheville, NC this year, while I was in town for a wedding!
For the purposes of our art movement, all we need to demystify this term is to understand it means - (I) Every part of our universe contains information about AND can influence the whole. (II) Consciousness imprints this hologram. đŽ đ¤Ż
David Bohm and mystics from all traditions have rooted this truth into our understanding:
Reality is not fixed.
It is a fractal hologram, and consciousness is the operating system.
Our beliefs, stories, and inner frequencies really do - according to hardcore PHYSICS - shape how the outer world responds and assembles. Everything is energy, and every energy has a pattern. Reality is a fractal hologram, making US cosmic coders. Our beliefs, stories, and intentions imprint the hologram of reality, on levels of consciousness - the ways people think - all the way down to matter - because people act in the physical world and shape matter.
As Bohm described, every piece of the universe contains the pattern of the whole. Just like a holographic plate, break off any fragment and the entire image still lives inside. Each one of us as individuals house fragments of that code. Our art movement seeks to experiment with aligning our individual code / coding with love, beauty, and cosmic law - for the purpose of seeing the world around us change.
My work with Juan Carlos Kaiten, founder of the School of Social Alchemy, has grounded my understanding of how a power as soft as "storytelling" changes the world around us. The Quantum mechanics of social activism, if you will. One of Juan Carlos' central inquiries has been: what does it take for a critical mass of people to take one step; everybody, all at once? Why does he pursue this inquiry so tirelessly?
Juan Carlos has been profoundly moved by witnessing the Maharishi Effectâ a law that states: when enough people align their inner frequency, the outer world shifts. But for this to happen, two qualities must be activated: Cohesion (interconnection) and coherence (relational harmony). This is not just about critical massâit's about the critical moment when enough of us align in thought, feeling, and action at the same time.
From David Bohm to Adi Da, from Jung to Sheldrake, we are reminded: it's not enough for individuals to awaken separately. We must cohere together, all at once, to create lasting change. Art - whether in the form of installations or the moving mercury of film & media - is a good place to start when cultivating the possibility of vast groups of humans acting together, all at once, in aligned ways. What we can dream together, we can do together.
The Earth Nouveau movement is a creative renaissance that honors this Truth. It offers a new templateâtwelve mythic principles that align human life with natural law and energetic harmony. When paired with the Trust Frequency paradigm developed by Connie Baxter Marlow and Andrew Cameron Bailey, these twelve become a resonant framework for conscious manifestation.
The Trust Frequency offers ten assumptions for living in harmony with a loving, abundant universe. When these assumptions meet Earth Nouveau's codes, we receive a living system for personal and planetary transformation.
The number twelve is foundational in both biology and mysticism:
It is a sacred number of wholeness, completion, and cosmic design. When we bring the twelve trust principles together with the intention to influence and empower creatives, we get a foundation for Earth Nouveau.
Trust Frequency:
"We live in a conscious, loving Universe. There is only Love."
Manifestation:
Actors embody, artists demonstrate, writers encode unconditional love, showing it magnetizing wellbeing
Trust Frequency:
"Shift from fearâbased assumptions to trustâbased realities"
Manifestation:
Speaking truth shown to dissolve illusion, like turning out of the cave towards light.
Trust Frequency:
âAccessing Trust Frequency triggers peace, love, beauty, abundance.â
Manifestation:
Beauty (true beauty⌠not Glamour, as John Odonahue specifies) naturally, spontaneously aligns aligns a human with their higher self. Know that beauty holds higher consciousness in a project
Trust Frequency:
âReplace scarcity with abundance and sharingâ
Manifestation:
Frame giving and receiving as sacred cycles
Trust Frequency:
âWe choose our beliefsâchanging our inner code transforms realityâ

âParadigm shifts occur when we upgrade our internal operating systemâ
Manifestation:
To create is to be close to the divine - Innovation spirals a new world into being
Trust Frequency:
âThe frequency you live in changes the laws that applyâ

Manifestation:
Pedestal no one. Celebrate both Oneness and unique expression
My weaving between the luminous minds of Holomovement, the alchemists coming into my life and a matriarch named JWOW - whose passion is encoding mimetics of social safety to unlock human co-creative capacity - has led me to call for integrating the 12 Trust Principles into a studio capable of seeding what I call "the Liberation Matrix." The Liberation Matrix is the metaphysical wireframe beneath the Trust Frequency. It is a living operating system, seeded in the Logos, carried by sound, and made visible through design.
As I processed with my GPT agent, Kai-Ara, it is:
Inspired by JJ Hurtak's 64 Keys of Enoch, the I Ching, Gene Keys, and synarchy codes, this Matrix harmonizes with the 64-fold pattern of transformation:
Together, these form a Liberation MorphOS that can:
The Liberation Matrix Language is like Synarchy DNA. Writing within its codes, every interface operates like a spell encoding human re-alignment to natural and cosmic law. Every contract/ agreement becomes a prayer, and every gathering a liturgy. And the best part is, if Ascension Studio is writing characters who are living these codes, or living in these ceremonies and councils we perceive them seeding, then the Studio can prime fields of human imagination - Preparing communities for real life action.
Live the Twelve. Love the Twelve. Seed the Liberation Matrix of Love.
The hope is for creatives to weave together in studio portals that generate and distribute art that, by encoding the trust frequency, activates the Liberation Matrix. Soul-led storytelling labs that repattern the psyche with the codes of Natural Law aligned Truths that humans can root into, manifest vitality for themselves and others throughâas is explored in the Distinctionary project. "Build your house on rock, not sand" - isn't that how the parable goes?
As you can imagine at this point, to shift reality, we must not just believe in these codesâwe must embody them. That means stepping into the Trust Frequency ourselves, first and foremost. Swimming around a movement such as this we'd need to invite ourselves to let trust rather than fear govern our perception. It will also entail:
Under the intoxicating influence of this quantum social activist logic, a circle of creators and I are founding Ascension Studios to contribute to building the cultural and energetic infrastructure for global attunement. You can say we are ready to prepare the morphogenetic field for humanity to moveâ together, all at once. Thinking the same thoughts in love. Feeling the same call to bone shaking beauty. Acting in a unified rhythm of devotion to visions of the possible.
Our invitation is clear - Let's become the artists of a planetary awakening. Let's imprint peace into the field. Let's align our consciousness to loveâ¤ď¸, belongingđšđ, our most beautiful, highest expression embodied! đ¤´đ˝đ¸đ˝ & Let that vibe radiate through our creations. This is how we remember Edenâtogether.
