long-shot
Rather than composing, I ‘grow’ my images from the materials, surfaces and mediums I am using. Technology is my organ of apprehension through which I curate the generative capacity of the work. My interest lays in the creative process, in undressing painting from its structural forms, and remaining in contact with its verb. To edit the creative process while exploring and accommodating a collaboration of different practices and different mediums is what I find aesthetically interesting.

augmenting the author
Today, the act of painting is an open-ended technology. In opening itself to a network of technological extensions and in augmenting the author (artist) into a web of interactions, painting is constantly enabled to re-expose its open ended potency: painting as a technology of articulation, signifying and negotiating at the border of visibility, with a multitude of images of intelligence.

future
The future is a stage upon which the dream of a new man sharpens the old question about the nature of humanity. At the onset of the 21st century the thought of migrating beyond our current humanity becomes more relevant than ever. And yet the future is already in our midst; it is the extending tendrils of a past that lies ahead of us. Addressing them with the substance of future is a conscious act of minding our own evolution, a transitory installation of our fragile freedom.

softness
Matter’ becomes soft. It is the softening of matter, of ourselves, of our genes, of our beliefs, the softening of our mindset and base-images, which is distributed all over as the voice and signal of the 21st century. It is the softening of ‘matter’, of the concreteness of our precincts and restrictions that allows us to choose our identity, to shape it as malleable substance. Fundamentalism, the historical mindset of fundamentalism is becoming obsolete.

present
The present is a substantive opportunity to embody, here and now, the aesthetic action of re-installing man. In such an act, the post-human might lifts itself away from the hardware of violence and the ingrained attitude and code of control, by correlating uplifting and augmentation with a ‘Tsunami of Compassion’.

art
The “middle”, or center of art, as ever, is empty and silent, for art is an act not of expression of “Isness” but of that which is not yet born, a manifest of a possibility that isn’t yet uttered, but is un-relentlessly shadowing the “machine”. Art, in the sense of the work of an artist, is an expression of betraying the local taste of consciousness, as it is always in the move between potential sights to a potential “other”.

Middle
“When we speak of the middle in a hard medium, what we see is the center in a structure, an a-priori privileged location, a unique point of view, like the control tower in a panopticon, or like reason in rationality, like good in morality or the truth in validation. It is the center from which to behold the symmetry of architectural virtuosity. When matter becomes soft, the ‘middle’ loses its structural image while sustaining the potency of relation. The middle, in a soft medium, depicts a state; it is a within, a between, an un-pictured touch-like equidistance from everything reaching from the inside out. Letting oneself into the “middle”, the solid concreteness of restrictions is re-examined anew and projected into possible tensions that generate change.”

multitude
We are at a cross-section, it is delicate and dangerous, we are crossing over from the development of intelligence, which is based upon designed constraints, to a motion of intelligence, which is based upon a complex and rich fabric of opportunities, In a soft multiverse there is no privileged identity, neither a-priori privileged moment, nor there is one-privileged image. There is however an ambiguous zone, fuzzy landscapes, non-linear intuitions and bifurcating events, so we need to develop an intelligence that curates becoming as a multitude.

aesthetics
Aesthetics is the activity based upon the intuition that the ‘universe’ is open at core, yet ‘almost’ constrained by its current state. Aesthetics I understand as an outpost of being that embeds a laboratory of singular sense making; it is a verb, a conscious doing and a doing of consciousness.

human
Whether reaching out in the direction of a spiritual portfolio of epiphanies or to ‘the other’, towards an artistic vision or through scientific tentacles, whether beyond the ordinary or beneath the foundations of thought, that which unites us is the motion of bridging forth our self-description, rephrasing finite grounds into infinite game, in all directions, the very story of being human.

we
The “we” of us has profoundly changed, migrating from the familiar congregation to an entanglement of un-ending mind, indefinite body, and a million interacting labs; a recursive cross-dimensional communication - an open evolutive event.

beauty
Beauty is a live substance, emerging, if at all, in the gaps and crevices of our existence, unexpectedly hovering the abysmal currents between the tale of our genes and the stubborn ascents of our dreams.
