Individuation C. 2010 John Paul

In the last article we saw that events or rather moments of receiving information can be linked in both local and non-local ways. These “separate” elements can be seen as projections of a higher reality.

These projections are observable through the relational information exchanged through a work of art, between creator and viewer. For something to truly exist in a projected moment it must have at least: a creator, or conscious will from a higher dimensional order that issues the creation; and a viewer from that same order, to whom the creation must be shared. Perhaps this mystery is partially explainable by the fact that life without others yields an isolated, lonely, and cold existence. Art is an ever-flowing exchange of discovery and meaning that en-folds and un-folds knowledge in meaningful relationships. “What goes around comes around” but with a new twist, perhaps like a feedback loop in a non-linear equation or turbulence in a stream of smoke.

In the past, when I was about the process of making holograms or taking photographs with a camera, I was immersed in a quest for meaning. It started first with a visual exploration of discovery wherein I tried to understand what was taking place in the process of making an image. This quickly evolved into a greater grasp of other forces at hand, working in mysterious ways to contribute to a final image and my understanding.

Somehow the unknown had worked or come together and contributed to a peak experience of making art that celebrated, illuminated, and inspired a greater seeking of knowledge and truth. I am certain that the process of seeking, of discovery, is the same for both the creator and viewer a like. In this experience time is flexible, whether this happens over many sequential years of events and interactions or not. As such meaning is also a flexible thing.

Today I am exploring worlds that exist implicitly, but manifest only through a particular approach using a unique set of instruments. The abstracting and pictorial processes become quite mysterious as images and various incarnated equivalents reveal themselves on a stage that speaks to worlds more real than reality. When that synthesis occurs, something happens that transcends the boundaries of both viewer and creator, in which a greater truth is revealed—art’s mysterious ministry.

More Mystery coming soon. Stay tuned!
