Introduction to a presentation of the 18th of June 2009:
Since technologies are increased by artists in their practice, the process of manipulation and control of media's variables/parameters is linking models of representation borrowed from different discipline like Mathematics, Physics, Biogenetic ext. Between these, especially in the contemporary age, chaotic models are one of the most fascinating and explored approach from artists that work simulating or involving processes of nature as form of expression.
Historically recreating nature is in the fact the oldest aim of the artistic production since humans started to research for an artificial copy of the world around them. In general according to classical science theory, the universe moves following chaotic rules so that it's almost impossible to anticipate how a flame of candle will burn or the exact spot of a discharging lightning.
The unavailability to humans of a general pattern able to solve the behavior of the universe can be one reason. But in specific, nature is also paradoxically well organized. And science, which has long considered order and synchrony the exception rather than the rule in a chaotic universe, is beginning to come around. Order is all around us, and scientists in diverse disciplines are constantly uncovering new examples of it.
In a universe where everything is interconnected, several specific examples of organization subscribe indeed a general character of synchronization. And the reason of a change of prospective by some scientists seems to be related to the capacity of order to be meaningful. It can be changed in the form: in a chaotic system synchronization is a meaningful condition. And in reverse mode: in a synchronized system chaos is a meaningful condition. What makes sense, it seems to be an open system anyway where there is a break point or critical point. Geometrically this open system is represented by a spiral in opposite to a sphere.
If Art has to deal with meanings, the relation between synchronization and chaotic elements is the main aspect of this research. And following this line, music and composition are the human way to be part of a synchronized dynamic in the chaotic universe. These aspects are part of two projects presented. While in the Collider (under construction), the chaotic phenomena of the plasma filaments generated by a system is going to be synchronized hopefully by music composition, in Licht - light (image attached), the implementation of not linear variables in jitter performs certain visual behavior of the light in a limited dynamic range as limited are certain chaotic systems in Mathematics. Focusing on the critical point as creative condition for an open relation to nature, we can extend this as method for understanding. The phenomena observed by scientists in Physics translates, mostly into a description-interpretation, the energetic release previously contained in a body potentially. But colliding opposite forces, it's possible to constrict the manifestation of this energy dissipated till limits. Following this metaphor, we can consider the collision between opposite principles as useful to open the object making it visible and understandable to the subject. And to say more, researching for experience of sensory collisions (collisioni sensoriali) we can finally access in this understanding state of mind.
