When I pointed out that the universe answers with flowers to my questions, one thing is important. The Universe itself created everything, like solar systems, planets, living organism and us, humans. But the PC is something like a calculus universe from definition. Scientist steal from nature and it's meta concepts. So what I want to say that while coming away from this whole void of nothingness, we must go back to the universal concepts reality has to offer. Therefore you can consider space as an calculus itself. A very large one. Look at the work of Ralf Becker: Rechnender Raum. Maybe this has something to do with it.

Essential and first questions are answered differently by each person, complex but ultimately ridiculous and wrong. And as a result, if there is something to them, they in turn raise thousand new questions. Some questions have no answer, we resign ourselves to it - and the universe responds with silence. And nature is silent. Many idiots make a genius. "Anschreien meine beste Punchline". There is no law in space, God doesn't need money. The machine neither rewards, nor punishes. Evolution has no direction. Cultures have no consensus. Life is a wrestling event - including real defeat for all. No me without a you. Because I see myself in you and I can't hurt you without hurting myself. Let's come to terms with the fact that whoever has themselves as their enemy must always lose everything. God listens to 40Hz. Every system strives for self-preservation. Every life strives towards the light. Where is the concept? What are the right questions? Where do I have to look? Do you really want to kill this friendly God? How does God get into the machine against the backdrop of emergence and cybernetic claims to power? Does anyone want that? Does God exist? "Not yet" They say... . Once God is in the machine, how does he get out? How does he like his assumed world? What are we talking about? Are we just reproducing our own flaw with technology?

My arty ,yet technical concept

All these thoughts appear kind of autopoietic, yet randomly. But one fact I discovered is to recognize the opposites / contraries of & in life to make order from noise. It is a metaphorical hint & a first advise given to me in the lectures of Professor Christof Windgätter.

The question I asked my self for that:

How to make order from all that randomness in my mind? How to make order from noise?


The answer:

I build a shader / video mapping sphere dealing with contraries & randomness itself on an highly asthetical level.

Tools:

Processing 4:

Within this I use the tool I created in my Bachelor studies in media art yet. It is called „makeSomeNoiseV4“. I created this tool for my self as a work for a GMU-module in the past & developed it in the younger past further & further.


My plan is to record several takes from 1minute, 3 times .

-> 1st layer consists of noise out of white, black & red

-> 2nd layer consists of noise out of white, black & blue

-> 3rd layer consists of noise out of white, black & green


Adobe After Effects CC:

I want to learn & use this tool for blending all three layers into one: via "multiply"-blend mode & render it out to a movie with 1 minute length. This movie serves as the raw material for the mapping in the next tool:

Unity 3d /Shaderlab:

I use Unity 5 / Shaderlab to make a shader, that gets mapped with the movie. I expect some mesmerizing footage from that & an art app that captures the buyers attention for a while. Because the mapping is dynamic & the sphere itself changes constantly we have a multidynamic experience delivered.

From nothing comes nothing. Reality builds everything out of nothing. What there is to say? It's about contrasts as mentioned earlier on a prior stage of this semesters project.

"Move away from western guns, travel towards eastern suns...".

I'm a traveller. At least inwards. "It wasn't my choice and the computer did it to me!" Nevertheless I provoked it somehow.

I guess this would lead too far. And too far, is not far enough.

Daoism & the crooked tree refuse to become chopped.

When everything comes together, chosen courses this semester make sense to me. Professor Windgätter let us know that every strenght has an antagonist working against it's legacy. Strong people has sometimes weak sideways they follow for some reason. Nevertheless: the point is that even the mind itself is situated between constraints that limit them "limitless". Daoism. Mattis Kuhn, the guy giving the lecture called adaptiveness mind me to think about daoism & read about it. Daoism is about the way itself. Having the way in mind: I produced some graphics in advance, you can see on this page. They are more plain, also more pure & organic. They remind on wood or trees living their calm and endless seeming life.

Rather than standing in my own way, denying forces of living in a specific society, I decided to gather powers by letting go, then come back when time has come. Fullfilling concept and execute the following of my minds thoughts.

A last hint: Professor assumed, that plain generating arty graphics printing them on paper is insufficient for an academy's approach like Bauhaus-University Weimar. Therefore I only can say. Look at the world of graphics. How less people are capable doing such things compared the art delivered yet here. I agree the concept is plain and simple, but the outcome serves aspects of code, beauty in and out technology and aspects of being competitive, not lost on my own.
