Birthing Kosmos: Synthetic Art and the Trans-integral perspective (#SyntheticArt)
Beyond traditional boundaries lies Synthetic Art, a trans-integral artistic methodology. We call this approach Transdisciplinary Art Research and Production (TARP) projects, which are actionable. TARP fosters artistic exploration that transcends disciplines, fostering a deeper participatory understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
In this view, art is not just an object, but a tool. Through "Artistic Interference," we see the world enhanced by art, actively expanding our perception and participation with reality.
"Autopoietic Cartographies" come into play. We move beyond linear time and static spaces, engaging with the world as a complex, self-generating system. These are self-constructed maps that emerge from our interactions within this dynamic system.
This unfolds within "Participative Focus Environments" (PFEs). Here, collaboration and interaction are central. Through dialogue and shared experiences, a deeper connection and understanding emerge.
Ultimately, Synthetic Art starts by cultivating an "Integrative Life Practice" (ILP) but go beyond to a Synthetic understanding/constructing the Kosmos. The artistic experience transcends the studio and becomes a way of being. By actively engaging with the world through this lens, we integrate art into our daily lives, enriching our perspective and fostering a deeper connection with the complexities around us.

1wGlassblowing for scientific experiments is becoming a lost art. When I started working at Ford Research, we had an excellent glass blower and an entire dedicated shop. When John Beers retired, he was not replaced and our capabilities shrunk. Glad to see ORNL still has these critical capabilities!
