Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication
(2025)
Erika Matsunami
Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication, which interacts with and addresses the theoretical and practical exploring of the artistic research for Green x (2022 –). Simultaneously, it might be possible to create an artistic method of intervention artistically, which aims at the theoretical level evolutionally.
Is language the tool? If it is yes, what kind of tool is the language? Through the language, what can we produce and provide? Thereby, I address the topic of creativity in communication in reading silently, speech, and listening. On creativity in communication is a play to draw models. Thereby the leitmotif is "reading".
Critical seeing in a model on reading subjectivity and objectivity at the online artistic representational level, Question for on creativity
The research objective(s) is a future idea for physical space and its mobility within virtual space (potentiality) for a new type of idea for notation between tradition and modernity.
In this aspect, towards international communication gaps between tradition and modernity, DADA solved the issue of communication and explored a new way of communication, that was not a philosophical metaphor, but rather that consisted of semiotics and semantics in the context of design, was creative. – New visual and auditory codes. Thereby I deal with “Tractatus logico-philosophicus”, that is a logic of nonsense by Wittgenstein in the theme of space, body and time.
"Silence surrounds us, silence around us" is an artistic research series, after "N.N-Zwischenliegend", I have been started to explore in 2020, after the corona-pandemic.

Genocide or Suicide? Massive Deaths of the Non-Muslims in the Ottoman and Turkey
(2025)
Tolga Theo Yalur
This article looks from a psychoanalytic-cultural approach to the ideologies and economy-politics in the truths and narratives around these places and events concerning ethnic, religious and national identities, and offers two opinions into a psycho-cultural narrative of parks, monumental places and genocides in Turkey. The complex is the collision of the secular and the sacred, for which the article presents a detailed interpretation of the material/wordly and the religious/otherworldly.

Theo Yalur
In the humanities and cultural sciences, the humor for fictionalizing a “truth” is described as “mocking”. Though it is more encountered in human sciences, this mode of structuration of events, happenings is also a significant concept in the STEM sciences. Mocking what is the kernel of truth of the Real, and what could be or what should be done about what is presented as the origin or the truth.
United States of Eureka
(2025)
Tolga Theo Yalur
There has been an overwhelming mediatization of corruption, pandemics, wars and conflicts for decades going on through the 2000s. When the “Israel-Hamas War” had just begun in the fall of 2023, for instance, the mainstream media was covering it with wordy psycho-politics. Instead, what I suggest in this article is a detour to a centennial relevance for the psychopolitics of Israeli, Turkey, the USA and current global realities. A relevance that was missing in the psychopolitical realities of countries founded in the interwar and post-war world. Comparing two countries of these stages, Israel to Turkey, I think they are similar in regards to the constitution of national identity politics. It is Sigmund Freud’s relevance shrouded in the shadows for a century, which is not merely a relevance of his own. His work is as powerful a founder of psychoanalysis as the foundations of countries like Turkey and Israel.
