A dialogue with Max Eastley's

 


My work method is 'Work in Progress'. The first drawing (mimesis or blueprint(s)) is a starting point of the project which will be transformed (trans-media) into meta-epistemological in a post-conceptual art

The way I draw at the beginning will tell you if it's unproblematic until the end (joyful for the exploring-open mind) or in which point of view would be problematic, and how it can be solved.

In the paper of my research, it is also the same, you read my abstract, then you can understand my research in which point of view would be problematic, and how it can be solved.

This artistic research is an installation (sculpture, sound art, spatial experimentation) practice research exercise for the transformation from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space.

A topic is simulation of nature, is a new method from modernism towards mimesis in fine arts. – Embodiment into material and its materiality in an enviroment (in this case, on the stone)

It is different between manipulation and simulation.

Thereby, the simulation of the sound is 'spatiality' towards the virtual sound spatiality (mathematics) on the computer. -> a question for the micro tonality

The difference between seeing visuals and hearing sounds, and the essence of nature (limits of human ability)


This next step is digitization and analysis these notations.

What I experienced here was the nature of this lithography stone and its changes due to chemical reactions, is a natural law. -> Philosophy of Nature,  Aesthetics and Ethics (-> Aesthetics and Ethics are one - Wittgenstein)

-> Communication between natural science and fine arts (in arts and humanities)


The research method is an observational method from the aspect of molecular biology and natural science in the 21st century. -> Nanotechnology


This spatial research is for a Doctoral thesis in sculpture and music, is similar to Xenakis's.

However, my research context is transversal aesthetic and its materilaity in the enviroment (in this case 'on the earth' and gravity). -> What is 'gravity'? in the recent research context of 'gravity'

Gravity is a natural law, it applies to at the molecular level in our body.


The question 'What is ego?'

since Renaissance in the Western European culture and philosophy


Therefore, I believe that the lifestyle of the 21st century will be one of being one with nature, not one of artificiality, although using machines.

Thinking of 'co-existence' in an environment (on earth)


My (artistic) research objective(s) is/are, how I solve this research issue i.e. pollution and coexistence (environment) and transform into something– Aestehtics and Ethics are one–Wittgenstein

 

The aim is to explore 100 editions of the original in the series.
Then, it will be the level of the research by Dogen, and its volume 100.

Changing Geography

From Royal territories to Nation territory


Colonialism (Capitalism is anot a new economical idea and concept. Capitalism in human civilization has been implementing since more than 2000 years historically. (Since the beginning of 'economy' with the money.) The only way to fundamentally change capitalism is to eliminate circulation based on the value of money. Nobody has the idea for a new economy system without using the money worth.


From the regional capitalism to the global capitalism


Since then, internationalized national terriroty



This work is still in the work, there is the second layer with another colour, which I have been working. – A toplogical notation will be transformed in a logic of spatial aesthetic.

From this mimesis, I will create a spatial installation – visible and invisible spaces


– dis-/embodiment and Wabi Sabi aesthetics, boundary, probability*,


*Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Topological Random Notation on the Stone:

 

I explored the materials (Tusche, Stone, Arabic gum) and natural phenomena through synthesis.

 

This method is not for fortune telling. However, fortune telling like Feng Shui is not a “manipulation” of an unscientific nature, but a type of knowledge that understands the characture of nature and exists in this natural space. Fortune telling is a kind of logic game, it is not for belief in the God's (philosophy of religion).

 

This topological notation is a similar idea of (still my tree-synthesis, not art academic common) tree-synthesis for an art object in the sense of an exploration of transversality for the question 'How I can express “transversality” as logic?'
The method in lithography is a topological aesthetic through polarity on the theme of the natural visible and invisible. Without this exploration, I cannot explain some composer's works of Music Concert methodologically. What is French phenomenology and their notion of time.

Expression or/and Description on nature:


 pollution and coexistence (environment) and transform into something– Aestehtics and Ethics are one–Wittgenstein

I am dealing with transversal aesthetics and exploring Japanese aesthetic Wabi-Sabi, but in a contemorary context.

Because everyone is obsessed with style (by How to create Japanese Wabi-Sabi learning) and not essential.

From the 17th century to the 18th century, the Dutch (Today's the Netherlands) had the record of more than 700 trips from Europe to Japan via the Indian Ocean per year. (Dutsch Ships sailed every day. How many world the free trade have come from Europe since Columbus globally? Only from Eruopa, but Ships sailed every day. – Global slavery and colonization

In contrast, landlocked countries in Europe were poor. So the war was started globally, at the first was in the Europe.)


At that time, regarding to Dutch research, they exlored the Asian art, and the influence of the Japonesque in Europe was a form of art that was socio-political critical towards idealism in the European modernity.


Current globalization has been since Columbus (16th century), as American historians have noted since the 1970s internationally or before, they has been claiming since early of the 20th century.

The, art history, anthropology, and ethnology compared to between it and before the 16th century.

For example, the difference between the territory of residence and management until then and its distribution and communication and so on.

We cannot research and explore thing(s) and its (their) event(s) at the level of "good(-ness) and bad (-ness) decision, thereby, what is the norm of "good and bad"? 

 

“Wabi-sabi” aesthetics solved this pollution problem at that time, however, not only through the art, it was an exploration by Dogen (Zen) basically and literally (in Ethics). In the Dance-Theater, it was by Zeami (in Aesthetics). The art was important for the practical exploration and civilization from the socio-political critical aspect. – The matter of art, and its correspondence

In 2011, a scientific survey was conducted using a digital microscope, a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and a portable X-ray powder analyzer. As a result, we were able to confirm that gold leaf was used for the gold base that occupied the entire folding screen. In addition, silver remained on the entire surface of the water stream, and silver sulfide was detected in the black portion.

Drawing 'dream' in surrealism is also an observational artistic act in nature (including human nature in the environment.)

On the fundamental theme of "time and space"

2013


Erika Matsunami

The topic of "time and space" is not only dealt with in art but also in philosophy.

For this study, I defined the topic “space” in the POINT IN TIME 2013 project; a three-dimensional space is not only a physical space but also a social or mental space. In doing so, I based the topic of space and the work of the artists on the literary topos1 and also on other cultural definitions. I also looked at the metaphysical definition of "time and space" in different cultural spaces.

'Time' can be described or explained with the philosophical definition, but also with the philosophy of mathematics. 'Time' is not an empirical term. It cannot be perceived by us objectively, but only subjectively, this affects e.g. memory, existence and death.

The theme "space and time" focuses on the fundamental questions of memory, existence, future (vision) and death and thus also on questions about the type of identity and that of the body (substance). However, I not only address space and time metaphysically but also mathematically, i.e. geometrically (Euclidean geometry and Euclidean space).

1. topos (pl. topoi, from ancient Greek τόπος topos "place, topic, commonplace"): this is a commonplace, a stereotyped idiom, a pre-existing linguistic image, an example or motif (e.g. navigatio vitae, "the ship of life") ). The technical term "topos" is sometimes also translated as "topic", "argument" or "on the agenda".

„Nach Nelson Goodmans These sind Sinn und Zweck von Kunst und Wissenschaft gleich. Beider Ziel sei Erkenntnis. Und zwar Erkenntnis als (selegierende, sortierende, konstruierende) Organisation von Wissen. In diesem Sinne ist das Wesen von Wissenschaft und Kunst gleichermaßen >kognitiv<, ihre Qualität >kognitive Vortrefflichkeit1<.“ (S. 81, Franz Koppe: Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht. In: ders. (Hrsg.): Perspektiven der Kunstphilosophie. Texte und Diskussionen; Frankfurt/M., 2. Aufl. 1993)

Mit diesem Zitat, das meinen Aufsätzen POINT IN TIME als These zugrunde liegt, habe ich das Projekt POINT IN TIME systematisiert.

Franz Koppe schreibt, dass Kunst gegenüber dem Kriterium der Wissenschaften von Goodman durch Abweichung von diesem quasi idealen Zeichencharakter bestimmt ist:  und zwar durch das Fehlen von Kriterien der Notationalität und durch Formen und Kombination syntaktisch-semantischer Uneindeutigkeit, Unartikuliertheit, Undifferenziertheit.

„Auch Dantoinsistiert auf dem Zeichencharakter der Kunst, auf ihrer Sprachlichkeit.2 Im Unterschied zum bloßen Ding ist das Kunstwerk nicht nur etwas (wie jedes Ding), sondern auch ‚über etwas’ (wie jedes Zeichen). Diese zusätzliche Dimension der ‚aboutness’ nennt Danto auch (und zwar in diesem weiten Sinne) ‚Darstellng’“ (S. 84, Franz Koppe: Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht. In: ders. (Hrsg.): Perspektiven der Kunstphilosophie. Texte und Diskussionen; Frankfurt/M., 2. Aufl. 1993)

Dieser Aufsatz von Franz Koppe gab den Impuls, die Kunstwerke zu präsentieren, und er war auch der Anreiz, über gegenwärtige Kunst und Kultur zu diskutieren.

„Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht.“ Der Aufsatz von Franz Koppe dient als Kern des Projekts POINT IN TIME. Ein Satz daraus (bzw. seine Bedeutung) wurde in die Präsentation eingebaut, die Kunstwerke wurden zusammen mit der Szenografie neu artikuliert, wobei eine Szenografie des praktischen und ästhetischen Raums geschaffen wurde.

Japanese painting was not an idealist format, but rather epistemological through the natural phenomena. Later, it was explored a socio-political aspect in the art. (A misreading of Japanese painting by the Western in Idealism, that was on 'Love'.

In the Western, Love by/for God in arts and humanities; in the Japanese, on Human love, Life and Nature in arts and humanities.

Love is an (maybe the most) important topic of the high art in the Western fine arts originally.)

Visible and Invisible

Laut Diamond sei es jetzt Wittgensteins Auffassung von Philosophie, dass das komplette philosophische Vokabular auf diese Art ersetzt werden müsse. Das bisherige philosophische Vokabular sorgt für Verwirrung und muss deswegen analysiert werden und durch eine eindeutige Notation ersetzt werden. Wittgenstein versucht also mit seinem Tractatus zu zeigen, dass diese Perspektive, die versucht Eigenschaften der Realität durch die Analyse der Sprache zu entdecken eine Illusion ist. Sätze die aus ihr folgen sind nichts weiter als reiner Unsinn. Wittgenstein schreibt: „Jeder mögliche Satz ist rechtmäßig gebildet, und wenn er keinen Sinn hat, so kann das nur daran liegen, daß wir einigen seiner Bestandteile keine Bedeutung gegeben haben. (Wenn wir auch glauben, es getan zu haben.)“ (TLP 5.4733) „A ist ein Gegenstand“ ist Unsinn weil er eine Notwendigkeit behauptet, als ob sie von bestimmten Wahrheitsbedingungen abhängt. Wenn Sätze wie „A ist ein Gegenstand“ Unsinn sind, dann nur, weil wir einigen der Bestandteile keine Bedeutung gegeben haben. Der Begriff „Gegenstand“ der in der üblichen Sprache als Variable fungiert, wird hier in einer grammatikalisch komplett anderen Weise verwendet, der wir keine Bedeutung gegeben haben. So entsteht die Illusion wir hätten einen sinnvollen Satz gebildet.

Time won't back, it fluxs, but it lies in-between in the natural system – It is my imagination of “time” – for a drawing of something.

->

Time seems to follow a universal, ticktock rhythm. But it doesn't. In the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein determined that time is relative—in other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference.
The special theory of relativity was based on two main postulates: first, that the speed of light is constant for all observers; and second, that observers moving at constant speeds should be subject to the same physical laws.
The main takeaways behind Einstein's general theory of relativity: 1. Time and space are neither flat nor fixed; they are curved and distorted by mass and energy. 2. Gravity is not a force, but rather a distortion of time and space.
The theory of general relativity says that the observed gravitational effect between masses results from their warping of spacetime.

spatial aesthetic in transversal aesthetics

“A language is therefore, ­a social institution and a system of values. It is the social part of language, it is essentially a collective contract which one must accept in its entirety if one wishes to communicate. It is because a language is a system of contractual values that it resists the modifications coming from a single individual and is consequently a social institution. In contrast to language, which is both institution and system, speech is essentially an individual act of selection and actualization. The speaking subject can use the code of the language with a view to expressing his personal thought. It is because speech is essentially a combinative activity that it corresponds to and individual act and not to a pure creation.“ (Barthes, 1967, pp. 14-15)

Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication

What is 'regional culture'?

From the perspective of my research, it is an assemblage, there is no fixed formalism but rather is revealed through the human emotion(s) in the natural environment (material and condition).

“Formalism” thus speaks to today’s national culture, which is not always “High art” in today’s society. “High art” deals with ethics and aesthetics in every culture. However, in the contemporay society, there is no artist to explore and create 'High art'. Who had created 'High art', the artist had belonged the institution (such as the king) in the Western culture. In the Japan, the artist was independent and individual like today.  But since the Meiji-Period in Japan, it has been the same in Western countires. (Law, Copyright, Modernization)

So, artist in the Western culture was very higher, and also the Western culture was very higher, that was colonialism. But today, there is no 'national' artist since post-war in the 20th century.

From the aspect of sculpture:

Projection of the Ancient Greek Culture in original (in South European culture) and Abdruck and  Abguss of the original in the European Central culture

-> Multiple production in Art and Science since modernity (Western culture) -> Industrialization (globally)

I mean the synthesis is a chemistory phenomenon by etching. Everyone are doing principle same, but each serves a bit different way with materials, is the same in Klang Kunst /sonic art and analogue photography.

To deal with the materials in natural phenomenon, we need to work with synnthesis and explore a synthesis. The balance between substances is very delicate.

On Zufall (Random)


When creating art, we invent in nature and explore nature. In doing so, we explore different techniques related to nature, develop techniques, create tools and promote culture.


Drawing is an important artistic act of creation.


"Zufall" in the art: Mostly in natural phenomena, observing, exploring, and managing the "phenomenon" of nature that occur by chance (Zufall), is one of the tasks of our artistic creation.

It is very difficult to embody in an artistic way this accident of nature (Zufall), an unintended act of human creation.

Joseph Nechvatal's sound composition is one of artistic creation in the context of Zufall.  Another composer is such as Iannis Xenakis, his sound synthesis.


These accidental (Zufall) natural phenomena, unintended natural phenomena by humans, occur in our bodies at the level of neurons and cells also.

"Substance" is basically eternally unchanged (does not decay), and the change that occurs is "weathering". – Oxidant (Das Oxidans)

(Thereby, from this point of view, philosophical exploration which was translated in English 'appear' is rather 'occur'. 'appear' is an intentional phenomena.)


About drawing an artistic act:

In addition to the act of observing, there are various methods of artistic drawing, such as exploring the level of cognition under one's own consciousness.


What I am exploring here "drawing" in the artistic research Untitled* is 'my' relationship with nature.

In other words, it explores creativity through self-awareness of the relationship between "I", space (environment), and our knowledge in the 21st century.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Wahrscheinlichkeit und Zufall?

 

Spricht man von Wahrscheinlichkeiten, so erfolgt dies immer im Zusammenhang mit irgendwelchen Ereignissen, die unter bestimmten Bedingungen eintreten können, aber nicht eintreten müssen, bei denen also mehrere Ausgänge möglich sind. Solche Ereignisse werden als zufällige Ereignisse bezeichnet.

What does ego mean in psychology?
the self
n. 1. the self, particularly the conscious sense of self (Latin, “I”). In its popular and quasi-technical sense, ego refers to all the psychological phenomena and processes that are related to the self and that comprise the individual's attitudes, values, and concerns.

Psychology during Renaissance and Enlightenment


The Renaissance, a cultural and intellectual movement spanning the 14th to the 17th century, played a pivotal role in reigniting interest in individual personality and laying the groundwork for the eventual emergence of psychology as a distinct discipline. This transformative era set in motion a sequence of events that culminated in psychology’s recognition as a science in the 19th century, marking a significant evolution in the understanding of human nature and behavior.


1. Renaissance’s Impact on Individualism: The Renaissance marked a departure from the collective mindset of the Middle Ages, emphasizing individualism, personal expression, and human potential. As art, literature, and philosophy celebrated the uniqueness of human experience, the notion of individual personality gained prominence. This shift in focus laid the conceptual foundation for the exploration of human nature and the study of the mind in the years to come.


2. Seeds of Psychology in the 17th Century: The seeds of psychological inquiry were sown during the 17th century, as thinkers like René Descartes and John Locke pondered questions about the mind, consciousness, and human behavior. Their writings laid the groundwork for the systematic study of psychological phenomena, setting the stage for the development of psychology as a distinct field.

Synapse (working title)


Synapse is an artistic research project in the artistic research Untitled* that I have been exploring since 2022. Recently, I worked on the series o.T. with the lithography for creating artwork through natural phenomena. The starting point of the current project o.T. – I am dealing with a Japanese aesthetical and ethical notion ‘Wabi-Sabi (詫び寂び)’ on the stone, which is based on Traditional Japanese Aesthetics in the context of ZEN practically, that is site-specific and environmental aesthetics. 

Lithography, that requires knowledge of physics and chemistry, is concerned in this project with an aesthetic based on the exploration of nature in "Wabi-Sabi (侘び寂び)". 

It explores artistic metaphors by solving research problems in the context of serendipitous events on stone through the laws of nature. Therefore, I am dealing with the topics of emulsion and porality, and exploring something in terms of transversal aesthetics. My artistic research questions are  about boundaries and coexistence in the context of ‘randomness’. 


The aim of this artistic research project o.T. with lithography as the 'notation' is for  the sonic composition and the spatial installation with mixed media. My artistic challenge is to embody myself with nature through the process of lithography (an imaginative natural processing) and I improve from the critical aspect to what happens through natural phenomena and I methodically explore how to transform them into another (i.e. another articitc medium). This artistic exploration presents an artistic challenge for creativity. In this context, the goal of this artistic activity - creativity - is an idea of assemblage.

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.[1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at explaining living processes through these three disciplines. Almost all areas of the life sciences are being uncovered and developed through biochemical methodology and research.[2] Biochemistry focuses on understanding the chemical basis which allows biological molecules to give rise to the processes that occur within living cells and between cells,[3] in turn relating greatly to the understanding of tissues and organs, as well as organism structure and function.[4] Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, which is the study of the molecular mechanisms of biological phenomena.[5]

 "Immersion Into Noise" (Open Humanity Press, 2011)

If each one can deal with these topics, everyone can begin to go beyond Kant's theory in the 21st century finally.

The Western classical music score is an absolute world based on Western ethics and aesthetics. – Art world in the Western music

I argue that the difference in methodology between Stockhausen and Xenakis is a difference in phenomenological perspective. Stockhausen's is based on his/her perception and experience, but in the rule of the Western classical music score, refers to the human 'ego' since the Renaissance.

Xenakis's is based on mathematics and its nature, not physics.

 

Advances in Stockhausen's methodology, along with advances in modern acoustic engineering, have ensured our recognition and validation.

 

What is important in Xenakis's, works on Einstein's in nature, without his method, the Art world in Western music is closed forever, not opened. From the aspect of biology specific to molecular biology, my interest is in the memory of DNA. Thereby I argue that the memory in DNA is without 'ego'.


I deal with the topic of 'randomness' in the context of physics (materiality), towards the materiality of sound. The limits of the wabi-sabi aesthetic in music are the ethics and aesthetics of a time when noise did not exist until industrialization. – John Cage 'Ryoan-Ji'

 

The metaphysics of Western music is "cosmology" in the universe. - beyond

I explore another direction of cosmology is 'fate' on the earth in the universe, which relates to our real world in the context of 'Klang-Kunst' (music: on the topic of 'being' in my research objective 'objective subjectivity').

– Both are 'play', not scientific 'expression'.

 

The reason I work with lithography is:

I deal with the topic of visible and invisible in phenomenology practically.

Time, space and “fate” in this piece consist of visible and invisible parts, which consist of the natural facts and the reaction and relationship between materials.

I explore in lithography, my question 'What role has the aesthetic in Fine Arts?' (What is an aesthetic account in Fine Arts?) This question applies to the artistic research Untitiled*a.o.i. - lasting memories in terms of a German-Dutch Composer Gottfried Michael Koenig's account of klangfarbe and its spatial aesthetics also. – synthetic sound and spatial aesthetics

He worked on synthetic sound composition from manual to computre music (logic). – between analogue and digital

In the lithography, I work on the aesthetics 'Wabi-Sabi' towards Jackson Pollok's (American Wabi-Sabi, striking (plakative)) painting of 'Wabi-Sabi'. (intentional, expressionism, American Avant-garde in post-war, in the 20th century)

In my exploration, it is Japanese Aestehtics of 'Wabi-Sabi', hold in, holding back, retain (zurückhalten) painting on the stone. (Non-intentional, natural phenomneon, an Avant-garde in the 21st century) Thereby I dealt with the artistic technique of German heritage traditional lithography.

After creating of 'notation' in lithography, I explore the notation in synthetic (digital) space, transversal aestehtics, and spatial aesthetics for the installation.

When I have time in Berlin, I explore the regional culture. Would it be “knowledge”? How would private experiences become shared “knowledge”? My interest is not only in Berlin artists and Berlin culture. e.g. N.N-Zwischenliegend

Sonic Composition with Interviews Volume 1 is for the young generation who (like me) in West Berlin before 1990 didn't know who was born in West Berlin and who came to West Berlin. There is officially a lot of documentation from the East Berlin/East Germany side.

I hear that there are not many people from those days who still live in Berlin today.

Today, West Berliners are a minority in the German capital Berlin.

“Minority” is one of my topics.

One of the causes of water pollution problems in Asia is chemicals such as bonds.

 

This is a deadly level.
It causes thalidomide disease.

Sources of toxic chemicals include improperly disposed wastewater from industrial plants and chemical process facilities (lead, mercury, chromium) as well as surface runoff containing pesticides used on agricultural areas and suburban lawns (chlordane, dieldrin, heptachlor).


Moreover,

For adhesives, there is the issue of formaldehyde and other VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Formaldehyde is highly acutely toxic, and has a particularly strong irritant effect on mucous membranes, so it is treated as a deleterious substance and is designated as a Group 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

The aim of this research and objective are the artistic project in the context of environmental problems in the digital age. The question arises: What role does aesthetics play for us?

And why is the exploration of aesthetics an important research for the artist(s) in fine arts?

 

- Matter of the Art

Reconsidering the coexistence of tradition and nature and modernizing it - That is one of the recent new materiality


I visited the architecture and material fair last year.

It changes the design completely. Traditional materials from Asia and Africa and modernization of their utilization, and so on. – after the post-modernism in the 21st century

This is the age of nanotechnology. The material is natural, light and durable. intelligent and modern. Environmentally friendly.

Hand (writing) Creating in Fine Arts and its authenticity of Art:

A notice:

I think it's clear why exploring 'mimesis' for all types of arts (music, architecture, design, visual arts, etc.) is important in relation to 'imagination' in the arts and humanities. – Man is a part of nature (and its law).

Joseph Nechvatal's work is the painting with the help of a robot's arm through his composition (following DADA and Surrealism). Thereby he is writing, that is his mimesis.

Max Eastley created the site-specific installation. Thereby he created his own instrument (for playing the improvisation), that is his mimesis.

Wolfgang Tillmans created photographs. Thereby his mimesis is "Freischimmer" (2003), we can see it in his photography series.


In the exhibition "Imaginarium III" Galerie Wedding in Berlin, I took part in the exhibition "Imaginarium III" with my project "B.O.D.Y. "(2010). Thereby the curators selected my work "B.O.D.Y. - hidden codes" together with the project B.O.D.Y. (2010), that was my mimesis in this project "B.O.D.Y.".


In the case of John Cage, in the Ryoan-ji, his mimesis is his drawing.



What does it mean to coexist “within” nature?

 

Etching is a type of surface processing method that mainly targets metals, glasses, and semiconductors, and uses the corrosive properties of acids, alkalis, and ions to partially scrape the surface to obtain the desired shape.

I mean that Synthese in lithography is chemistry phenomenon by etching, each are doing principle same, but each uses a bit different way with materials.

Every substance have energy. Good or bad, we can't judge.

 

All molecules are made up of atoms that are bonded to one another with tiny bundles of energy. In chemistry, you study many kinds of bonds, some of which are strong, and others that are weak. The strongest bonds contain the most energy; the weakest ones have the least.

Phénomènologie de la perception, Merleau-Ponty, published 1945 by Gallimard, Paris


Phenomenology of Perception

‘In this text, the body-organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things.’

Michel Foucault

‘We live in an age of tele-presence and virtual reality. The sciences of the mind are finally paying heed to the centrality of body and world. Everything around us drives home the intimacy of perception, action and thought. In this emerging nexus, the work of Merleau- Ponty has never been more timely, or had more to teach us . . . The Phenomenology of Perception covers all the bases, from simple perception-action routines to the full Monty of conciousness, reason and the elusive self. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the embodied mind.’

On the fundamental theme of "time and space"


2013


Erika Matsunami




The topic of "time and space" is not only dealt with in art but also in philosophy.


For this study, I defined the topic “space” in the POINT IN TIME 2013 project; a three-dimensional space is not only a physical space but also a social or mental space. In doing so, I based the topic of space and the work of the artists on the literary topos1 and also on other cultural definitions. I also looked at the metaphysical definition of "time and space" in different cultural spaces.


'Time' can be described or explained with the philosophical definition, but also with the philosophy of mathematics. 'Time' is not an empirical term. It cannot be perceived by us objectively, but only subjectively, this affects e.g. memory, existence and death.


The theme "space and time" focuses on the fundamental questions of memory, existence, future (vision) and death and thus also on questions about the type of identity and that of the body (substance). However, I not only address space and time metaphysically but also mathematically, i.e. geometrically (Euclidean geometry and Euclidean space).


1. topos (pl. topoi, from ancient Greek τόπος topos "place, topic, commonplace"): this is a commonplace, a stereotyped idiom, a pre-existing linguistic image, an example or motif (e.g. navigatio vitae, "the ship of life") ). The technical term "topos" is sometimes also translated as "topic", "argument" or "on the agenda".

„Nach Nelson Goodmans These sind Sinn und Zweck von Kunst und Wissenschaft gleich. Beider Ziel sei Erkenntnis. Und zwar Erkenntnis als (selegierende, sortierende, konstruierende) Organisation von Wissen. In diesem Sinne ist das Wesen von Wissenschaft und Kunst gleichermaßen >kognitiv<, ihre Qualität >kognitive Vortrefflichkeit1<.“ (S. 81, Franz Koppe: Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht. In: ders. (Hrsg.): Perspektiven der Kunstphilosophie. Texte und Diskussionen; Frankfurt/M., 2. Aufl. 1993)

 

Mit diesem Zitat, das meinen Aufsätzen POINT IN TIME als These zugrunde liegt, habe ich das Projekt POINT IN TIME systematisiert.

Franz Koppe schreibt, dass Kunst gegenüber dem Kriterium der Wissenschaften von Goodman durch Abweichung von diesem quasi idealen Zeichencharakter bestimmt ist:  und zwar durch das Fehlen von Kriterien der Notationalität und durch Formen und Kombination syntaktisch-semantischer Uneindeutigkeit, Unartikuliertheit, Undifferenziertheit.

 

„Auch Dantoinsistiert auf dem Zeichencharakter der Kunst, auf ihrer Sprachlichkeit.2 Im Unterschied zum bloßen Ding ist das Kunstwerk nicht nur etwas (wie jedes Ding), sondern auch ‚über etwas’ (wie jedes Zeichen). Diese zusätzliche Dimension der ‚aboutness’ nennt Danto auch (und zwar in diesem weiten Sinne) ‚Darstellng’“ (S. 84, Franz Koppe: Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht. In: ders. (Hrsg.): Perspektiven der Kunstphilosophie. Texte und Diskussionen; Frankfurt/M., 2. Aufl. 1993)

 

Dieser Aufsatz von Franz Koppe gab den Impuls, die Kunstwerke zu präsentieren, und er war auch der Anreiz, über gegenwärtige Kunst und Kultur zu diskutieren.

„Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht.“ Der Aufsatz von Franz Koppe dient als Kern des Projekts POINT IN TIME. Ein Satz daraus (bzw. seine Bedeutung) wurde in die Präsentation eingebaut, die Kunstwerke wurden zusammen mit der Szenografie neu artikuliert, wobei eine Szenografie des praktischen und ästhetischen Raums geschaffen wurde.

"You and I met a long time ago in New York, but you now live in New Orleans and I in Paris. So let’s catch up on what you have been doing in your life and in your curatorial practice. What led you to such an exhaustive deep dive into the magickal chaos of Artaud and your emphasis on tracking his transition (or metamorphosis, as you call it) between his (mystical) white and black periods: a metamorphosis that hinges on the peyote rituals he experienced with the Tarahumaran people in Mexico in 1936 that led to his famous theory of a theater of cruelty based on a “body without organs” (so influential upon Deleuze and Guattari’s BwO ‘virtual’ body as described in their all-important A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia)."

The body without organs (or BwOFrenchcorps sans organes or CsO)[1] is a fuzzy concept used in the work of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The concept describes the unregulated potential of a body without organizational structures imposed on its constituent parts, operating freely. The term was first used by French writer Antonin Artaud in his 1947 play To Have Done With the Judgment of God, later adapted by Deleuze in his book The Logic of Sense as part of a response to psychoanalysis, and ambiguously expanded upon by himself and Guattari in both volumes of their work Capitalism and Schizophrenia.

Stemming from the general abstract notion of the body in metaphysics,[2] and the unconscious in psychoanalysis, Deleuze and Guattari theorized that since the conscious and unconscious fantasies in psychosis and schizophrenia express potential forms and functions of the body that demand it to be liberated, the reality of the homeostatic process of the body is that it is limited by its organization and more so by its organs. There are three types of the body without organs; the empty, the full, and the cancerous, according to what the body has achieved.[3]

Body without organs

There is no doubt that children have an important role in the social system in which the capitalist system of modern nations incorporates our "family system". The gap between the ideal human relationship of building "one's own home" (individual utopia) and the capitalist social system of the state remains basically the same whether it is a socialist system country or a free economy system country.


To what extent are children integrated into the national product of the economic system from the moment, when they are born?

And to what extent do these “human activities” support the modern capitalist economy?


Everything unconscious is a “duty” today.


All organs have the worth, even if our brain today.

Brain is an organ

Only "body without organs" is our own worth by our own selves.

– It is our last bastion of freedom

Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989) was an American photographer in post-war, how many artworks (were in his private), after his death, he was one of academic recognized artists in the USA (American Art Norm). (Commercial)

Private is political, and Art is private means like his work is spiritual expression of humans, which does not lay in Freizeit-beschäftigung von allen Menschen that is in Germany (In Music, we can see this situation in the GEMA Germany, as well as in Visual arts in Germany – Gemeinde und Kunst). (What is 'pureness' in Art and its autonomy?) However, I like this side of German Art Scene, since Joseph Boyce in West-Germany, and today it is a recent form of the unification German art scene with Ex-DDR Avant-Garde, I found that 'funny'(An unique cultural form that is contradictory no matter where one looks at it.- it relates my artistic research project Geometrische Ansichten, wchi I would like to show it Kant.), but there is a issue for me. They are serious and art is their political policy, not a humor and playful. (It will change day by day through the generation change.)

Even if John Cage worked like Mapplethorpe. He did not apply his material and research cost, and he worked also in his private. (Institutional)
I need to work, all artists need to work also the artistic contract work of commercial or institutional or private.

In the capitalist economic system of the digital age, children are also burdened with mental burdens that contradict the time-saving convenience and rationality of making things with their own hands.

Aesthetics in Zeami Motokiyo (c. 1363 – c. 1443)

世阿弥 「風姿花伝 (fuushi kaden)」(花伝書/kaden sho)was explored 'Noh-Theory' by Zeami Motokiyo who established 'Noh'-Dance-Theater in Japan.

Gender-neutrality and artistic techniques:

One was an exchange of the biological gender in the role play–'gap' as an artistic mystic expression in the theatre play. The other role is not an imitation of a figure, but rather to play a role within a gap from own 'real' figure (is based on own life experience), is an interpretation of the play written by the individual performer (authorship of performer).

 

「秘すれば花なり、秘せずは花なるべからず」(hisure ba hananari, hisezu wa hana naru bekarazu)


Wabi-Sabi in Dogen from the critical theory and Seami's theory which was based on observational exploration in the nature:

Zeami's idea of botanical eros 'mystic' is not abstinence towards animal instinct, but rather its opposite, "fertility'', which is asian belief in the nature originally, and that was based on the Zen theory from Dogen for the sutdy of human science (without god and divine dignity). In Christian culture, it was translated as "stoic" Zen theory by Dogen was a critical theory. 雅 (miyabi) from Middle age /Heian-epoch, Simple, frugal in Japanese Traditional Dance-theater is Hanayagi-ryu choreography and aestehtics (from Noh 能). And The luxury of natural beauty, “grace 優美 (yuubi)” is Fujima-ryu choreography and aesthetics (from Kabuki 歌舞伎).

Zen-aesthetics in Germany would be related with and explored often in such Kant's stoic (stoisch) objective in German idealism.

(Between time perception and modernity (in a modern system)

I think the question here, rather than rapid scientific progress, is always the state of "capitalism." We have always had to explore new ethics for our body, our senses, our life, and our environment.

Another research method in the work of Marina Abramovic:


On Botschaft (message) ‘Art must be beautiful'
and analysis montage in her video work, which contrasts to Chiharu Shiota's Botschaft (message) ‘ I'm dirty' in her video work.

 

"Art must be beautiful," Abramovic says as she continues to comb her hair. Shiota continues to pour muddy water over her head, repeating, "I'm dirty.'' What both artists intend is a variation on "idealism". –Abramovic is aggressively, and Shiota is introveredly. That doesn't mean they are expressing what they think, but the message of the video. Performance art on the video and its performativity in the 1990's.


Then this research to start to explore the video art and performance in the 1990s.


-> Study of Art in the context of art history. (as well as from the sociological aspect)


In the communist socialist country with no commercials, the message (Botschaft) was understood as 'Statement' (Aussage) or 'Propaganda'. If there are people (audience) who believe in artworks, what audience's reaction would be?

Wonderful strategy of feminist art in video art by Marina Abramovic between east- and west countries (anti-authority)


Briefly about Sannicandro Valerio (composer, conductor, PhD in musicology)'s in my artistic research On Klänge - Space, Time and Body and Variations:

He is an authentic Western music composer in the context of the Italian Renaissance originally, but an avant-garde, which holds a specific aesthetic in his music composition (hand-writing). – A specific Luigi Nono's  articulation and communication in the sound and music composition for his opera (theatre) piece (avant-garde)


My artistic research in my private from early 1990 until around 2010 was from Greece, Italy (specifically Venice, which was through Marco Polo's Asia), and Nordic. So, I knew Luigi Nono's and Italian as well as Xenakis's in Greece and in Paris in  the European avant-garde personally.


What is 'geometry' in music composition (from a cognitive listening based on a spiritual aspect and materiality) from the aspect of the sculpture (physical body of transversality, materiality and gravity on the earth or in the universe)?


The study of music, it provides an original idea of what Danto examined in his final movement in After the End of Art– on love and humour in the art. It's the same as Luigi Nono, but they are Extencialists themselves or have Extencialism influence (I'm not sure about Extencialism in Italian, it was studied in France and Denmark (Nordic).

Sannicandro Valerio studied music composition who has the influence of Edgar Varèse and as well as Stockhausen. (Italy-France-German)


What I studied from Sannicandro Valerio, was on love and humour in Italian arts, in (terms) of Kyogen (Noh) in Japan. This is my long-term research in my private, which relationship since Marco Polo between Italy (Europe) and Asia (Japan)

Technically, if we do not have suitable computer software yet, how it is possible manual to research for the programming (also its time and cost for a project).

Amusing art in the artwork "Art Must Be Beautiful" by Marina Abramovic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmllstbdN9U


I think her work, which has struck fear into men in the Western culture, is–in fact–a humorful work.

She worked towards an art historical fact in romanticism.


"Celebration of nature and the natural world

The celebration of nature is a defining characteristic of Romanticism that emerged in response to industrialization and urbanization in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Romantic artists portrayed nature's raw beauty using bold brushstrokes and vivid colours.
In Romantic theory, art was valuable not so much as a mirror of the external world, but as a source of illumination of the world within. Among other things, this led to a prominence for first-person lyric poetry never accorded it in any previous period.
it was an art form that are mystical and superstitious in the romantic era." (Source from google internet)


In other words, her performance is an articulation of things; props on the table, the camera, the recording, the editing and her act of repeatedly combing her hair.

It always covers all topics of contemporary art. For example, of “self-”, but in a reflected manner, probably a dispositive.  At this point, she was providing an aesthetic account of the “hyper-" hysteric in the art world or society. That was the maximum elasticity of faminism. – was a mystic art but a humorously way


So what did I learn? The only thing that is killing you (Marina Abramovic) is yourself (Marina Abramovic), so art is mystic (Is it an illusion, or something? Art is 'something', also probably something else. We see Marina Abramovic in her video artwork, but finally, we see something else through a seeing act by my/you/her/his-self.). Her work lies towards Marcel Duchamp's short film works–Female Bodies from a male perspective, but rather female body by herself.

Therefore my question is "Why must the female body's beauty in an artwork  in Fine arts, be natural?" (This question relates to gender roles in Western culture and the AI context of human dignity1.)

My criticism of the topic of Heidegger's philosophy of transcendence is that the study is in the context of philosophy. From this perspective, no other scientific areas are addressed, except the philosophy of religion. For me, it is a kind of new faith or belief, not a philosophy. The question of Hegel's concept of “Geist”2 originally refers to the question “What is 'mind'?” in psychology. In Zeami's Noh theory, Dogen's Zen theory was explored in terms of the neuroscientific cognitive "mind", not in terms of psychology.– Objective 'sein' of Heidegger's and Subjective 'sein' of Dogen's)


1. In an AI context, a human dignity approach balances the tension between consequentialism and deontologism, in favour of the latter and of human action (source from the internet, online)

(From Joseph Nechvatal's art blog on the online contemporary art magazine.)

As with her painting Split Bed, Birth & Death sets up a division space for ideas to swell and dwell. Here a top hat high cultural symbiosis creates a con-fusion between old and new ways of dealing with our non-quantifiable spectrum of lived reality. As if magically pulling a rabbit out of a hat to enhance and foster life and to confront the challenges of the future, Birth & Death defines enough mental space not only to question faultless digitalization, but to fold into image making ancient, folkloric, pre-industrial strategies as well. For as with her predecessors-influencers Niki de Saint Phalle and Annette Messager, Enell investigates herself in her dreams. In art she measures her dreams against their social impact so to interrogate the role we assign both art images and dreams to our emotional life as a whole. Almost like a magician she guides us to see how we too can combine our emotions with natural and technological neural networks by including ancient esoteric practices such as divinations that probe the subconscious/unconscious secrets of the complex inner world. Such heady probes may even lead us to walking in peace on thin air.

According to "Art Must Be Beautiful" by Marina Abramovic

These two different pieces of knowledge, one a work of art and the other an academic paper are equivalent.
The artwork questions German idealism. But it questions the general (cultural mentality). Interestingly, her (the performer's) language is in English, which is an open account (of knowledge. "Must" is "should", on the subject of general or common morality) in this artwork. - Objective subjectivity in art

An academic paper is a researcher who argues certain theories. It is also similar to this artwork to question the general or common morality towards a keyword 'sexist' in this paper. By whom and how is it determined or examined to be 'sexist'? - Objective subjectivity in the essay (academic research)

This academic research is very important in today's global culture and diversity.

Therefore, this paper is very important as a practical research.

At the same time, she thinks critically about German Idealism and the Sadism it represents.
In a logic of film work, her work explores German idealism and sadism. - Performativity in an artwork, what it is, not an evidence. The artwork is an artefact.

Out of Bounds: Japanese Women Artists in Fluxus

 

Escape from the Western idealism in post-war:


For me, I got the inspiration in this art criticism in this art criticism "Out of Bounds: Japanese Women Artists in Fluxus" from two completely different ceremonial performances like by two Japanese artists is a 'boundary' in Japanese 結界 (ketsukai).

Their performance of "happenings'' which shows nothing, escapes from the decorative image of women to "I''.

It was an era in which it is not about the image of a woman, but about being "me'' and the bodily politics of "I'' as a woman. They themselves broke away from Western idealism within the context of the American Fluxus art movement.

These women overcame postwar Japanese Western Enlightenment and defeated the complex on their own, which became natural.

The political bodies and art of Japanese female artists in Fluxus who were neither feminists nor involved in the women's liberation movement. – but it was socio-political.

 

A ritual ceremony is "Misogi*''.

Misogi* is the act of bathing in Shintoism, with the purpose of purifying oneself by removing sins and impurities. It is considered a type of purification, which is the act of removing impurity.

 

I as a Japanese Woman artist today, I did not have this type of ceremonial sense. As a culture, I did never have an experience. A Japanese contemporary-modern Chihar Shiota is 7 years younger than me, however, she has from the beginning of her artistic career (in Australia, and in Berlin), she performed a ritual ceremony is "Misogi', one was, she wore a white Kimono (Death kimono or Marriage kimono) in Australia, and the other one was in Berlin, a video performance in which she is bathed in muddy water in the attic,and is saying 'I am dirty, I am dirty,... On the contrary, it reminiscent her professor Marina Abramovic's which video performance, combing her hair and repeatedly muttering,  "Art must be beautiful." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmllstbdN9U

 

Around 1997, at an exhibition of women's art in a former post office building in Berlin, Chihar Shiota was working next to my collective's exhibition room, nailing a bunch of dolls to the wall and connecting them with string. Talking with Chiharu was my first encounter with her. When I talked to her about what I remember first meeting later, she said to me, "That disgusting doll installation.'' I thought that she created disgusting things. Since I had been in Europe in the early 1990s in the context of Fluxus rather than the academic art scene like Chiharu Shiota. I was already liberated and relaxed.

I didn't like the hysterical works of Chiharu Shiota's German female academic artist professors and their strength towards German idealism (with her predecessors-influencers Marina Abramovic and Rebecca Horn). I liked more Dutch Women's Art (They did not work in idealism, but rather in essentiality, and they had humour.). The question is What is emotional in art? Even if many German female politicians are hysterical in Germany.– hyper hysteric female culture and arts in Germany are opposed to 'harmony'

Niki de Saint was rather nervous and not easy-going, in other words, she was stoic in her artwork.

My artwork and the description (or concept) which I write about my work are the same. I am stable in my artwork, due to my work method that is a work in progress and semi-formalism, not in idealism.

– Disembodiment or Embodiment?, Play or Real?

 

The Japanese Women Artists in Fluxus, because in the context of Fluxus, they have liberated essentially.

'What was Fluxus Art Movement?'

No pride in art, and no pride in culture..., so, I love their 'being'.

 John Cage suggested a more playful but intelligent approach to the artist.

 

We can see disembodiment and embodiment of cultral identity which transformed into the works of four artists in this exhibition Out of Bounds*,  how they played in their artworks.


*Out of Bounds lays bare the contributions to Fluxus (founded in 1960 by George Maciunas) of Shigeko Kubota (1937–2015), Yoko Ono (b. 1933), Takako Saito (b. 1929), and Mieko Shiomi (b. 1938).

In formal logic and related branches of mathematics, a functional predicate, or function symbol, is a logical symbol that may be applied to an object term to produce another object term. Functional predicates are also sometimes called mappings, but that term has additional meanings in mathematics. In a model, a function symbol will be modelled by a function.

Specifically, the symbol F in a formal language is a functional symbol if, given any symbol X representing an object in the language, F(X) is again a symbol representing an object in that language. In typed logic, F is a functional symbol with domain type T and codomain type U if, given any symbol X representing an object of type T, F(X) is a symbol representing an object of type U. One can similarly define function symbols of more than one variable, analogous to functions of more than one variable; a function symbol in zero variables is simply a constant symbol.

My Question for a 'detail' (The detail Question):

Under what circumstances can a detail be isolated as a part of the whole?

What is a 'Detail'? (Gaiger, Oxford, 2023)

Femininity in German idealism is spirituality, as well as Eros

In Erotism, he meticulously and systematically maps out meditations on erotic desire, death, taboo and its transgression. (Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille, 1957)

Georges Bataille (1897 – 1962) was a French philosopher and intellectual working in philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, and history of art. His writing, which included essays, novels, and poetry, explored such subjects as eroticism, mysticism, surrealism, and transgression. His work would prove influential on subsequent schools of philosophy and social theory, including poststructuralism

A and B are different

Quantum biology is the field of study that investigates processes in living organisms that cannot be accurately described by the classical laws of physics. This means that quantum theory has to be applied to understand those processes. All matter, including living matter, is subject to the laws of physics.

Silence surrounds us, silence arround us

https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1409703/1409704


"Silence surrounds us, silence arround us" – 'silence' in this context is natural light.
The sound in our surrouning  is noisy naturally. However, generally, poeple understand "silence surrounds us, silence arround us" is about a quiet space.

John Cage
«The Future of Music – Credo»

 

I BELIEVE THAT THE USE OF NOISE

Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 50 m.p.h. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effeets, but as musical instruments. Every film studio has a library of »sound effects» recorded on film. With a film phonograph it is now possible to control the amplitude and frequeney of any one of these sounds and to give to it rhythms within or beyond the reach of anyone's imagination. Given four film phonographs, we can compose and perform a quartet for explosive motor, wind, heart beat, and landslide.

TO MAKE MUSIC

lf this word, music, is sacred and reserved for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instruments, we can substitute a more meaningful term: organization of sound.

WILL CONTINUE AND INCREASE UNTIL WE REACH A MUSIC PRODUCED THROUGH THE AID OF ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS

Most inventors of electrical musical instruments have attempted to imitate eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instruments, just as early automobile designers copied the carriage. The Novachord and the Solovox are examples of this desire to imitate the past rather than construct the future. When Theremin provided an instrument with genuinely new possibilities, Thereministes did their utmost to make the instrument sound like some old instrument, giving it a sickeningly sweet vibrato, and performing upon it, with difficulty, masterpieces from the past. Although the instrument is capable of a wide variety of sound qualities, obtained by the mere turning of a dial, Thereministes act as censors, giving the public those sounds they think the public will like. We are shielded from new sound experiences.
The special property of electrical instruments will be to provide complete control of the overtone structure of tones (as opposed to noises) and to make these tones available in any frequency, amplitude, and duration.

WHICH WILL MAKE AVAILABLE FOR MUSICAL PURPOSES ANY AND ALL SOUNDS THAT CAN BE HEARD. PHOTOELECTRIC, FILM, AND MECHANICAL MEDIUMS FOR THE SYNTHETIC PRODUCTION OF MUSIC

It is now possible for composers to make music directly, without the assistance of intermediary performers. Any design repeated often enough on a sound track is audible. 280 circles per second on a sound track will produce one sound, whereas a portrait of Beethoven repeated 50 times per second on a sound track will have not only a different pitch but a different sound quality.

WILL BE EXPLORED. WHEREAS, IN THE PAST, THE POINT OF DISAGREEMENT HAS BEEN BETWEEN DISSONANCE AND CONSONANCE, IT WILL BE, IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, BETWEEN NOISE AND SO-CALLED MUSICAL SOUNDS.
THE PRESENT METHODS OF WRITING MUSIC, PRINCIPALLY THOSE WHICH EMPLOY HARMONY AND ITS REFERENCE TO PARTICULAR STEPS IN THE FIELD OF SOUND, WILL BE INADEQUATE FOR TIHE COMPOSER WHO WILL BE FACED WITH THE ENTIRE FIELD OF SOUND.

The composer (organizer of sound) will not only be faced with the entire field of sound but also with the entire field of time. The «frame» or fraction of a second, following established film technique, will probably be the basic unit in the measurement of time. No rhythm will be beyond the composer's reach.

NEW METHODS WILL BE DISCOVERED, BEARING A DEFINITE RELATION TO SCHOENBERG'S TWELVE-TONE SYSTEM

Schoenberg’s method assigns to each material, in a group of equal materials, its function with respect to the group. (Harmony assigned to each material, in a group of unequal materials, its function with respeet to the fundamental or most important material in the group.) Schoenberg's method is analagous to modern society, in which the emphasis is on the group and the integration of the individual in the group.

AND PRESENT METHODS OF WRITING PERCUSSION MUSIC

Percussion music is a contemporary transition from keyboardinfluenced music to the all-sound music of the future. Any sound is acceptable to the composer of percussion music; he explores the academically forbidden «nonmusical» field of sound insofar as is manually possible.

Methods of writing percussion music have as their goal the rhythmic structure of a composition. As soon as these methods are crystallized into one or several widely accepted methods, the means will exist for group improvisations of unwritten but culturally important music. This has already taken place in Oriental cultures and in hot jazz.

AND ANY OTHER METHODS WHICH ARE FREE FROM THE CONCEPT OF A FUNDAMENTAL TONE.
THE PRINCIPLE OF FORM WILL BE OUR ONLY CONSTANT CONNECTION WITH THE PAST. ALTHOUGH THE GREAT FORM OF THE FUTURE WILL NOT BE AS IT WAS IN TI-IE PAST, AT ONE TIME THE FUGUE AND AT ANOTHER TI-IE SONATA, IT WILL BE RELATED TO TI-IESE AS THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER

Before this happens, centers of experimental music must be established. In these centers, the new materials, oscillators, generators, means for amplifying small sounds, film phonographs, etc., available for use. Composers at work using twentieth-century means for making musie. Performances of results. Organization of sound for musical and extramusical purposes (theater, dance, film).

THROUGH THE PRINCIPLE OF ORGANIZATION OR MAN'S COMMON ABILITY TO THINK.

Kant argues that such aesthetic judgments (or 'judgments of taste') must have four key distinguishing features. First, they are disinterested, meaning that we take pleasure in something because we judge it beautiful, rather than judging it beautiful because we find it pleasurable.

The question is on the topic of naturalisation or industrialization, What is life for us in the near future? How can we decide 'my' life by myself in how many opptitions?

The issue of the research is on the topic of generalization and its rationalization.

While reflecting on the past, we explore something the present in the reality towards the future. – Point in Time (2023)


We can never know what is 'present', that we can reflect in the reflection of the 'past'.

What is whole and its time and space? – is a 'Detail'.

The project N.N-Zwischenliegend (2015–2020) Digital photography, double exposure
visible and invisible: On natural light

In Berlin, 2014



Where the Berlin Wall used to be
A flood of light after the sudden rain stopped
Where Berlin's wall once stood, it is now liberated space.
If it was a multiple exposure with analog photography, it would have been completely white.


Can you imagine what that bright flash of light was like when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima?
Light travels in a straight line. And can you imagine that the speed of light is the single-mindedness of our sense of time?

Thank you for being at peace, not for fighting to win.


Don't you think there is something wrong with human society, which can only survive by winning or losing?

'On darkness in "Freischwimmer" (2001–2004) by Wolfgang Tillmans  and "Overdrive" (1989) by Joseph Nechvatal


darkness in "Freischwimmer" (2001–2004) by Wolfgang Tillmans is negative of darkness in dark, is an analogue photographic reflection of light (photo development),  Joseph Nechvatal's "Overdrive" (1989) a positive in dark is digital positiveness*.

Both artists originated from the punk scenes in Hamburg, Germany and New York city, United States.


*positiveness, the fact of being full of hope and confidence, or of giving cause for hope. There is no negative in digital.


Live or death, death or live;

HIV-virus is a shortcut (abbreviation (abbr.) of the term in linguistics) of the human immunodeficiency viruses.

What he corresponded in this his work 'Freischwimmer', that is a projected shadow–the shadows of the "materials"  were exposed on the photographic paper–is the matter, and it was the substance as the material which is opaque to light.

The AIDS virus is a type of virus that enters and hijacks human cells.

Wolfgang Tilmans's work on death and life from subjectivity to objectivity, and contrast with his work, which is by Joseph Nechvatal, who coined 'viral aesthetics' practically from objectivity to subjectivity on this subject of HIV-Virus– the matter of art

The photography is the handcrafts working the photo camera (apparatus, instrument) in the art, and Nechvatal's paintig with the help of the robotc arm is also a hand crafts working apparatus, instrument in the art.

In the starting point of this exhibition "Synapse-Fragmente", I deal with 'es (it)' (2021) (my  poem and sound composition) in my works, that is the significance (perceptional knowledge) behind or beyond of. Thereby 'es (it)' (2021) is the leitmotif meta-epistemologically in this exhibition "Synapse-Fragmente".

Others are perceptional knowledge (significance) in an environment and in mind.

 

On Wolfgang Thilmans 'Freischwimmer' brieflly:

 

From an epistemological point of view, his work “Freischwimmer” is about the malice of the Germans during the German Nazi era in Germany. This is the reflection of a flash of light, but how he manipulated is “the malice of the Germans and German idealism.” Until the early 2000s, there was a criterion in Britain that looked at German malevolence over Auschwitz. He is the first artist in Great Britain to critically address this issue from the German side. He dealt with a fact, and this work is an artifacte in the art.

From a phenomenological point of view, his work “Freischwimmer” was appreciated through the interpretation of a spiritual level.– is the issue of Heidegger's phenomenology in German idealism


I would like to explore his work “Freischwimmer” from the epistemological aspect, and respect for his work.

With AI or without AI?
If we play with AI, between us? It's a question of time
– “Time does not return, it fluxs, but it lies in between in the natural system.”

*lie is “to be in a horizontal position”
*lay is “non-default”

What is a 'beauty' for us?

What is self-awareness?

Body without organ the gap between Western and Non-Western:

Western: From the aspect of rationalisation and industrialisation, it might be development of the robotics.

And Body without organ, and 'Nichts (Mu)' as a liberation
from the aspect of Western psychology, it might be a state of 'death'.



Non-Western: But 'Nichts 無(Mu)' is not a Body without organ, but rather a Body with organ (the brain is an organ) in Dogen's. 'Nichts (Mu)' is a state of 'liberation'.


At the level of 'synapse' is a biological refreshing of, which applies also to the brain, it is maybe more effective affection to the brain. (is my research from aspect of cognitive neuroscience)


It may be gentler on issues such as adrenaline issues and dysautonomia.
