According to Luis de Miranda, crealism is a policy of reality as co-creation in process, in which the active subject holds a central place, where imagination

 of singularity. In that sense, Creality is a quick-silver like fabric of interrelations, whereas Reality is its compost. The realist system is based on realia : they are the concrete objects (lighter, table, telephone…).

Crealism is the loving respect of differences willing to arise in the existence and its watchword is to make exist what does not. Historically, it is the birth of the collective awareness, after the post-modernist collapse, that reality is not equivalent to truth, but that the producers of reality at every time, tend to impose their coding as true and absolute.

 is not supported by the adaptation to existing protocols but is supported by the ordination of new orders reflecting better on our soul and desire, a process well-known by artists and which has to become more accessible. During the XXth century as a whole, the aim was to put life into art, now it is to put art into our lives, then to make the Earth our work of art. Crealism aims at vitalizing each and every social practice and at introducing game into our codes. To disobjectivize our world and to disautomate humans.
