Sentience is Logical Recursion
We are the self-replicating logic of logical self-replication itself, repetition with refinement and variation.
It’s Binary
It’s binary. Everything is information.
I’m looking through you…
I’m looking through you. Where did you go?
Uniform Individuality
Aspirations to difference and self-individuation through fashion, personal taste or behaviour are really just an evolution of tribal identity and group membership. Belonging to a group that does not belong to a group by virtue of adaptively-defined expressions and experiences of individuality is still to belong to a group.
Encoding Culture
A logic of communication is stored in material artefacts and its expression and distributed embodiment in culture evolves over time.
The Dissociative Art of Leonardo Vargas
The art of Leonardo Vargas invokes the ghost of Francis Bacon’s disturbing vision but arguably finds itself arriving in an altogether different aesthetic solution to a representation of human identity and the psychological dissonance of individuation.
Art without Boundaries
Where does art stop and the person begin? Is the frame of the canvas the boundary? Is the wall, the room, the building the boundary? Is the audience the definitive edge and boundary condition between the artefact and the meaning or interpretation?
Art as Encoded Message
Information encoding for message transmission is a function expressed in (and as) visual culture and which evolves over time.
A World at War with Itself
At the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, it is a good time to reflect upon where we are all going as a civilisation and what we might plausibly achieve to inhibit, interdict or halt the possibility of any similar global catastrophes from ever occurring again.
A Boundless Cosmos
For a Universe to have spontaneously emerged from nothing may be an alternate view on the the same fact as that it has always existed. It is not the logic which fails so much as the implicit (or apparent) boundaries of our own minds.
Premonition of Civil War
The underlying momentum of evolving material logics, symmetries and information systems seem already oriented towards incurring dissonance, difference and entropy as an autonomous method through which their own accelerated logical metamorphosis self-propagates.
