Chaosmosis Stills

2. Introduction

A Stochastic Morphogenesis on the Chaosmos

"Everything that exists in the universe is the product of chance and necessity."

Democritus

"What defines thought in its three great forms - art, science, and philosophy - is always confronting chaos, laying out a plane, throwing a plane over chaos."

Deleuze-Guattari

These art-works were conceived as representation, or better, evocation of the artist’s worldview which arose through a dialectical interplay, from intuitive thought to reasoning, inspired by contemporary philosophical and scientifical thought. It reveals itself not only through the forms, but also through the process by which they have been made.

An evocation of the way order arises out of chaos in nature has been made by pulling out forms of the Template4 or chaosmos, through a method combining chance and necessity in a productive whirl.

This chaosmos is a still of a moment on chaos, showing the trajectories of the chances/ determinations making and unmaking themselves at infinite speeds. A web of interlaced lines woven in the thickness of the plane thrown on chaos.

Wittgenstein has written about the place where philosophy and its language has to relinquish participation : "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent." I feel it is precisely the place where visual arts should begin to enter into the dance. Since visual arts media has no fixed lexis or syntax, it opens the way to investigate the terra incognita.

If one wants to say something new, to evoke innovative ideas, one has to find a new language or syntax(see Nietzsche’s "As long as we rely to grammar one has to believe in God or one has to admit that we didn’t completely got rid of God"), the new paradigms of the rhyzome, polycentrism, complementarity, heterogeneity, complexification and parataxis, have replaced the old ones of the grid, centrism, alternatives, homogeneity, reduction or syntax.

Furthermore, a digital-like process was contrived to create these works by translating the percepts, affects and concepts into forms and content through algorithm and numbers.

The old analogical , eidetic way of producing pictures by copy of inner or outer images has been left behind.

Finally, the openness of the works is a way to put into practice the idea of trans-subjectivity where a web of inter-relations between subjects is created, while no forms are fixed.
