Frankensteinzation of our society from a completely free of technology to the fully transferred into the Technium. Mixed medias (2019)

Mixed media and ready made objects, 2019

But the monster is making this, a monster of trade, input and output, the competition for the resources, a dominance and obedience are the two ends of the spectrum that create the world the way we see it or are designed to see it. The words only mean what we want them to mean, neither more and neither less, from Alice in Wonderland.

Why is classical music a competitive sport in the time of Technium, where machines compete much better in anything, it is the blindness of tradition that is holding it from embracing the Technium, but just like the Pendulum swings from one end of the spectrum to another in every field, classical music will also live through the transformation and it will be technology once again a harbinger of change for the positive until it becomes a negative. Masses are peacefully looking at the Entertainment screen while three Bs, Beethoven, Bach and Bartok look and reach to them in the tentacle fashion, from behind, beyond, the past, reaching with the power of music, changing. The narrator, an artist is observing the scene from the side, looking at the photographs of nature. An Artist can’t be submersed with the population, an artist always carries around the microphone and a stand holding the music, preaching the story from the sides into the ears of the audience obliviously following the entertainment with their eyes. Ears however are much more powerful and complex organ

Alphabet of Isms in Philosophy with one side representing the + and the other - we always swing the pendulum in one direction or the other, Oil and Acrylic on Paper (2019)

Oil and Acrylic on hard paper, 2019

The mosaic comprised of 44 + 1 pieces divided in 2 times 22 represents an alphabet of concepts, philosophies and ideas. They are directly inspired by Chinese characters, the fact that the mind in here has to work differently, much more visually represented compared to the languages used in the western world that are relying on sounds and concepts. I often wonder is more less or less is more. Our global trajectory as a part of the species on this planet seems to be that more is less when organized in a concise way, when the test of time puts a final test on the combinatorics of genetics. This alphabet is the combinatorics of philosophical ideas and concepts that impressed me throughout life and as they are presented in two colors, one set of 22 is a matter and another set is the antimatter, we are constantly alternating throughout our life between the two, extinguishing part of parts in the process. One drawing that is separate, represents the Stoicism and my fascination with futurism, standing still while the time moves.

Artist statement - introduction

The core aspect of my practice in the last few years is the zoom in and zoom out, I used to dream, I still dream and record those dreams where the planet becomes so distant that it represents a dot, in the following moment it becomes infinite as I become a dot. Everything is relative to the context which makes the whole picture, I am fascinated by the world of cells, atoms, quarks, gluons, on and on into the microcosm of forms/patterns that reflect the macrocosm equaly mysterious. We live in beetween but are governed by both, we constantly zoom in and zoom out through time, history, space, perspectives. Likewise, our cultural and historical inheritance is composed of cells of idealism, visions, and innovation, fueled by imagination and knowledge. I believe that this zoom in and zoom out process is the universal impulse towards understanding, awareness of history, but at the same time it is holding the vitality of a mysterious, indescribable awe before the pulse of the time within and around. It is in this spirit of awe that I am standing with one foot exploring the intersection of myth, history, philosophy, science and with the other, observing, my stream of consciousness, abstractions of thoughts, and futurism tapping upon the truth deeply sitted within while learning about it externally, again a zoom in and zoom out. Ultimately I think that science and technology will reach the point of singularity with art, which in turn will result into yet another cognitive revolution (the first was the invention of fire, mythologically seen as a story of Prometheus which is very important with my almost subconscious treatment of water and fire) but now we each hold this fire in our hands. Technology is constantly influencing and changing the way we interact with material existence, materials we use and also with each other, and I believe that we have to keep pace with these changes through fostering our human values, igniting each other’s imagination, knowledge and supporting authenticity, in other words everyone should become their own Prometheus that spreads the “fire” through internet and continues the primordial impulse that dictates the trajectory that our genetics first adopted.
