This statement is about sharing the excitement I feel concerning the
opportunities that are still available for us as a species to further
develop and to take advantage of the opportunities available to us to use our creative ability.
It is not too difficult to visualize a world were the
aesthetic ambitions of art are merged with the aesthetic intent of Nature
in allowing life to be a sustainable continuity of ever evolving ways to
survive and to do so with a measure of happiness. I invented Data A art as a
way of responding to the demands of 21st century conditions in our world.
Aware of the need by humanity for new dreams. Data A art is a
recipe to frame a new dialog concerning art and life. Data A art finding
roots on a new cultural organizing principle that is based upon a
partnership between human creativity and Nature's experience in the
survival of life. That is to say that our conception of life is
extended beyond the human sphere to encompass all life on earth as the
basis for our survival while our sense of aesthetic is extended to the role
of
co-creator with Nature.
Data A art contributes a very unique time and space characteristic, which, separates it from all
preceding art directions and notions. Namely, that it allows the objects
of art to render the
perception of a temporal separation between the "past" and the "now" to take place
as a means to enable a greater critical focus on "what is"
withstanding the past but separated by a new narrative that uses the
future as the focus for the direction of its developing history.
Data A art opens up, a whole new avenue of creativity which can again
distinguish the arts as a vital and creative cultural driver as we strive
to correct the course of civilization towards a sustainable continuity in this the
most critical century for our species and the world we know.
The central kernel that makes possible the outline of a new
cultural strategy, is a proposition were human creativity joins
nature's creativity in a collaborative partnership that is new to the
planet. That partnership is mediated by another idea which is expressed in
a narrative that I
incorporated into the word Sufficiency. Frankly, sufficiency is not my
idea, rather, it is like many other great ideas an extract from nature
that for some reason I managed to grasp in a primitive and rudimentary
way. Much
work remains to be done to explore Sufficiency due to the fact that I'm
just presenting it as an aesthetic expedient useful to conceive a new way
to see the world. Therefore after four decades of wide spread inquiry and
experimentation, the concept of Sufficiency has yield the material that
informs the art proposition that I have named Data
A art .
