From "DADA
art" (1916) as a perception of
criticism of culture, to "DATA
A art" (2010) as a perception
of rational analysis from data (information) as a transitional cultural
device to a better plan "A" for the Earth.
Is the human condition the
result of an incomplete survival strategy?
I think so, but, I'm also convinced that the first step to
answering the critical questions we are facing as a species, is to admit
that there are answers to those questions either known or to be found.
I have looked into the Nature of
life, ours, and other life on Earth for answers. After over half a
century of looking, I'm convinced that I have found a number of
aesthetic answers worth sharing.
The art that I do, is and has been, about clarifying
to myself some of the answers I found. I'm sharing them with you, so that
together we may have a dialog about their worth and ideally your thoughts
about them.
I have named the kind of art that I
do "Data A art."
That is to say, "Data" because answers are information, "A" because the
results are presented as evidence or Exhibit "A," Data A art, because solutions
have an aesthetic quality that generates the kind of dialog that
translates information into culture. Culture is of course the only vehicle
to act-out solutions, specially solutions concerning our survival strategy.
