Why I started to study the Traditional Japanese Dance-Theater from the age of three, due to ethics in the literature, music and choreography. Antonis is also a generation from high school, he had studied piano at a dormitory-based music conservatorium. Music ethics was compulsory. So the composers, musicians and artists of our generation are not stylish.
My project is rather futuristic, feature, fiction from the real story, and from a critical point of view.

In a lecture at a conference in January 2021, I looked at an art object which was exhibited, was the compressed atlas maps that were solidified into a spherical shape. I didn't know the size in the photo. It was an exhibition around 2008. What I saw there, seemed to be an "act" that symbolized the era which was changing from the map on paper to digital, but it looked like "trash". It was an era that trash was an art object from critical aspect. What came out from this critical aspect, for example, creative ideas for recycling, save, review, share, community, platform, and so on.
‘inner vision’ (Zeki, 1999), I would like to distinguish between inner vision as well as immagination and mathematical envision.
I think that in the next 10 years, more and more, we Humans would deal with the topics in Anthropocene, and of non-human society for the reconciliation from the critical aspect.

FROM THREEFOLDNESS TO MULTI-FOLDNESS
From threefoldness to multi-foldness: On Personal AI in visual arts and its perception in an artwork – What is artistic authenticity with AI (technology and which kind of (Wort fehlt/word missing) and how) in arts? In this project I explore practically and theoretically, in particular rethinking philosophical reflection on “A thousand plateaus” (originally published as Mille Plateaux, volume 2 of Capitalisme et Schizophrenic © 1980 by Les Editions de Minuit, Paris) by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. I've been dealing with this book in my project since 2000. Therefore I agree with the approach "Kunst kommt aus dem Schnabel, wie er gewachsen ist" (the title of an art catalog with 11 disabled artists) by Mosaik e.V. in Berlin, 2011. This artistic research addresses the issue of technology and humanities in arts. (Theorie und Praxis im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess)

Artistic research:
SILENCE SURROUNDS US, AND SILENCE AROUND US
This collaboration has taken place only via online due to the CORONA-Pandemic in 2020.
I understand that this duo is more of a "musical-theatrical play" than an art, and they are a contemporary Western modernist (performers and musicians). This theaterical development is their creativity.They could work with their idea in the theater-project. (It is their study of Fine arts in performing arts in the EU.) They use the work of art by Takemitsu yet, they didn't create something. Their idea is the same as if they use the score of Brahms. This idea is a current solution in classic music/performing arts at the art academy (in the EU). For that, I have challenged to draw (developing of) the theatherical idea in 2020, but it is from the aspect of 21st century. Now, I need to write in words as a piece. My understanding in performing arts, without literary sense (study) it does not work.
My artistic research method is a mathematical solution, which is the same no matter how many problems there are.
I have no manual, I just deal with subject. For that, the knowledge helps me. There were/are many fashions of solution in the science historically.
Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, as is visible light. H.R. Hertz provided practical demonstration of Maxwell's theory and, in 1888, actually performed radio-wave-reflection experiments.

The cognitive ability of persons with disabilities is similar to the relationship between the child's "reality" and "self", and it cannot be said that the cognitive ability is low.
The human "brain" of primates is as unknown as the study of the universe. Since I have been studying in this research area from the aspect of aesthetics, then I understood, we humans live in-universe.

->There is a dilemma in their duo, that is, for Huisman, to play an unfinished piano piece, it lowers his title as the pianist, for Housen, to write a music piece through the sounds by the pianist, then he will lost his title as the composer. How they would like to solve this problem between them, so, they want to become an "artist".
-> In their work on "Corona" (1962) for pianist(s) by Toru Takemitsu. He has conceptualized "Mu/無" (subjective) in his multi-layered open score, however Huisman's understanding about it is "Nichts" (objective) that is similar to Heidegger's. In this aspect, I can dealt with their Corona. But, I think that Cage's is the correct way (American Avant-Garde), if artists/researcher would like to research in this subject. In this artistic way, Housen and Huisman are European Avant-Garde. Thereby Housen challenged his subjective symbolism to draw in "Corona" by Takemitsu. So, they transformed an unusual culture into Belgian (Dutch) musical ethics.
It was the ones who incorporated different cultures into their (Dutch) ethics without excluding them that was the study method of Dutch academy, and was their "Transculturality", which was the opposition of the German method such as Heidegger's. Today it is the study at KU Leuven, Belgium. My great interest in a collaboration with Huisman and Housen is at this level of study, because I need to write.
-> I encouraged Housen to grasp e.g. the African and Latino American beats of American contemporary music for his future artistic collaboration.
Huisman researches on "fusion" in music (piano piece by the Japanese composers in post-war/last 50 years in Japan) between Western and Eastern cultures.
-> A dilemma in the creative procedure between Housen and Huisman explains how "paradox" is misunderstood. That is similar to our current cultural state. To be created a "dilemma" intentionally, however, it might be a limited idea. Thereby my attempt is, how I solve this dilemma artistically.
The Method of Levels of Abstraction

Abstract
The use of ‘‘levels of abstraction’’ in philosophical analysis (levelism) has recently come under attack. In this paper, I argue that a refined version ofepistemological levelism should be retained as a fundamental method, called the method of levels of abstraction. After a brief introduction, in section ‘‘Some Definitions and Preliminary Examples’’ the nature and applicability of the epistemological method of levels of abstraction is clarified. In section ‘‘A Classic Application of the Method of Abstraction’’, the philosophical fruitfulness of the new method is shown by using Kant’s classic discussion of the ‘‘antinomies of purereason’’ as an example. In section ‘‘The Philosophy of the Method of Abstraction’’,the method is further specified and supported by distinguishing it from three other forms of ‘‘levelism’’: (i) levels of organisation; (ii) levels of explanation and (iii) conceptual schemes. In that context, the problems of relativism and antirealism arealso briefly addressed. The conclusion discusses some of the work that lies ahead,two potential limitations of the method and some results that have already been obtained by applying the method to some long-standing philosophical problems.

Generally, people talk about contemporary art, that is probably about "contemporary culture", not contemporary art.
Project B.O.D.Y. (2010) mentions how looks the body through technology (the question for current measurement) and how we look the body. (Freedom of Expression) (I am writing on.)
I don't claim and demand anything with this project, I question our Human fortune.
Being born with a disability is not the "sin" or "misfortune" of the person, just the inevitability of the gene.

Grundlegend für das Kulturverständnis von Welsch ist, dass Kultur nicht etwas Trennendes, sondern etwas Verbindendes ist. Bei der Begegnung zweier unterschiedlicher Kulturen gibt es stets Anknüpfungspunkte, die als Konsequenz zu einer Verwischung der Grenzen, möglicherweise aber auch zu einer Aufhebung dieser Grenzen führen können.[2] Jedoch entsteht aus den separaten Einzelkulturen des klassischen Kulturbegriffs keine Globalkultur, keine uniforme Weltkultur, sondern Individuen und Gesellschaften, die transkulturelle Elemente in sich tragen. Die Kombination von verschiedenen vertikalen und horizontalen Elementen verschiedener Herkunft macht so jedes Individuum transkulturell.
The four lower panels of the closed altar are divided into two pairs; sculptural grisaille paintings of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, and on the two outer panels, donor portraits of Joost Vijdt and his wife Lysbette Borluut; in the upper row are the archangel Gabriel and the Annunciation, and at the very top are the prophets and sibyls. The altarpiece is one of the most renowned and important artworks in European history.
Ghent Altarpiece (Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, Dutch: Het Lam Gods)
My comment for a performance Corona-STEMS-GALAXYOMEGA (May 2020) by Huisman and Housen is maximal praise (hervorragend) which is terms of Jan van Eyck as their background. They are the performing artists in Ghent, and a Duo - contemporary artists, who work in the critical aspect. Ich research Jan van Eyck, his critical concept. A work by Huisman and Housen is a Duch contemporary, their musical style to research is not my task. My task of research in art and humanity is "concept" in a context. The abuse of beauty is also in the same construction of the discrimination in the racism, such as grouping, identification and exclusion. Style of art is not important, most important in art and humanity is the concept of the artist, that its essentiality phenomenologically and epistemologically, we perceive philosophically. The depiction of Jan van Eyck, there is no "good and bad" parted world, there are no categories. It mentions, not by god, but rather it shows us humans responsible optically. Joseph Beuys worked from this aspect, he questioned for humans responsible, thus he coined "social sculpture". Thereby, he did not mention "social sculpture is high art.".
->The rassism and violence between people and police in the USA recently (mishandlung and misbrauch), I think that a facotor is the digital communication and its system. e.g. the mis-using of the big data such as the using of the term in the wrong way via social media. So that, I have to study and research to write a concept in art and humanity which refers to science.
I think that there is the international and the national levels of the control by the US (West) in the social media which analysis is used through AI, as well as by Russland (East). This way is every where that is the same as in Japan for "Suspected figure", but is it maybe created "Suspected figure" digital phenomenolly or phenomenologically? In the sociology, it calls "discrimination" generally.
-> I agree with "level of abstraction", that is for the organisation. But it is not to relate to the aesthetic experience. For "beauty", levelism is a kind of fascism, because it does not make sense, but rather a kind of beauty contest. In other words, it might possible to organise a culture-politic like by the German Nazi Regime in term of German idealism. I would like to liberate "beauty" from this ideological system. Thus, I believe in early 21st century, that is possible now.
Levelism (Lev"el*ism, n. The disposition or endeavour to level all distinctions of rank in society.) is not my research subject, however, as fact in art and humanity, I think that is not an overstatement, that is a fundament of abuse of beauty. What is the measure for beauty?
"Beauty" is a reflection in the human mind, and freedom of expression, as well as freedom of decision. Beauty is not an object, an image and a symbol.
Indebted to the International Gothic as well as Byzantine and Romanic traditions, the altarpiece represented a significant advancement in western art, in which the idealisation of the medieval tradition gives way to an exacting observation of nature[2] and human representation. A now lost inscription on the frame stated that Hubert van Eyck maior quo nemo repertus (greater than anyone) started the altarpiece, but that Jan van Eyck—calling himself arte secundus (second best in the art)—completed it in 1432.[3] The altarpiece is in its original location, while its original, very ornate, carved outer frame and surround, presumably harmonizing with the painted tracery, was destroyed during the Reformation; it may have included clockwork mechanisms for moving the shutters and even playing music.
Why the culture so nationalised in the young generation? There are many factors, such as Global Art Market, the value of art and culture, heritage boom, cultural war, economic war, and so on.
My motivation for their project is Housen's musical Dutch ethics, it evoke mine, which is by his authentic cultural identity (personal). My goal in this collaboration is to bring contemporary music into "pop art" at the sonic level (Exchange), how to incorporate it, and to generalize it in a way that suits the current social situation. However, in this long-distance research under the corona lockdown situation, it is impossible to express clear things and "confidence".
"Corona" (1962) for pianist(s) by Toru Takemitsu is a qnique score, this duo with Huisman and Housen at this level is impossible to implement without the Takemitsu concept.
In my artistic research on Klänge - Space, Time and Body, I explore it. (from the perspective of my side.), that is the agreement between me and Housen at the sonic leve non-verbally. Regarding this project, I think that they are two in one, particularly, at the musical ethic level, it refers to the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by Jan van Eyck.
The relation between Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by Jan van Eyck and "Corona-STEMS-GALAXYOMEGA (May 2020) " by Huisman and Housen is, if Adam and Eve in the context of Jan van Eyck 's would change with, is it might be possible a cultural evolution in the 21st century? My artistic challenging thereby is to implement a painting on the sonice level musically.
Historical artistis even in naive art, they had more than approximately 120 IQ, because art is envision.
My research field is cognitive neuroscience in art and humanity. There is no term "talent".
I think that talent is a measure for the work ability. For example, talent for the organisation, talent of organising, work skill is a bit different with artistic ability.
God does not appear as figure. So, the depiction the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by Jan van Eyck is conceptualized for the law and the ethics from the aspect of critical theories (I think that was towards Imperialism as well as sacrifice, scapegoat, witch-hunt in the 15th century.), in the subjects of fairness, impartiality, justice, independence, tolerance, equality.
Christ is not the figure of the Almighty, but rather the Messiah. Hence, my interpretation is Liberté (The Virgin Mary), égalité (The Almighty), fraternité (John the Baptist). It was the culutral evolution in Dutch culture, at the same time, it was the social evolution. I like the masterpiece "Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" from the critical view more than other Weltanschauung (the master piece of the world view), which "one worldview" as high art was separated from up and down, left and right extremely. From the critical view in "Adoration of the Mystic Lamb", I mean that towards "Utopia", today, that is the social system of the non-human, and its world-view.
Takemitsu work and Huisman Housen: My understanding is, what is for them unknown in Takemitsu musical Ethics, such as from Heian-period, which is for them a common subject of tolerance, liberality, and so on. They incorporated it into their essence of musical ethics, that way is a Dutch contemporary for their cultural evolution, at the same time, that is their social evolution. During Edo-period, Dutch taught their way of culture evolution in South Japan also, it called Duchnology (Rangaku/蘭学 (Meidcine, Anatomy, Law, Physics, and so on.) in Japan.
There are two perspectives, one is beyond from god, other is subjective from humans (authors perspectives), probably, that is the attention to "future".

For those who did not study hard, their way of thinking was the idea of "right or wrong?", or"good or evil?", or "the god or the Evil?", but in reality, even "dualism" was not such a categorised "optional" theory. (In dualism, ‘mind’ is contrasted with ‘body’, but at different times, different aspects of the mind have been the centre of attention. )
There Is No Impending 'Mini Ice Age' (NASA)
"Pink elephant in the room" time: There is no impending “ice age” or "mini ice age" if there's a reduction in the Sun’s energy output in the next several decades.
Through its lifetime, the Sun naturally goes through changes in energy output. Some of these occur over a regular 11-year period of peak (many sunspots) and low activity (fewer sunspots), which are quite predictable.
