Art

In 2005, I stopped to make anyone's art.

Anyway, the highest art (of all arts) is pedagogy (i.e., working DIRECTLY with neural networks, or pure mapologically speaking: playing with maps and thereby playing with map-makers DIRECTLY).

I do not want to take part in today's crazy run for (and overkill by) ever MORE publications, papers, texts, works of art, etc. (i.e., "nature's" blind and stubborn "default-mode" of TOTAL GROWTH).

And from my Seminar-Script, you already know these famous words by Piet Mondrian:

" ’Art’ is only a ‘substitute‘ as long as the beauty of life is deficient. It will disappear in proportion as life gains in equilibrium. Today [1942!] art is still of the greatest importance because it demonstrates plastically in a direct way, liberated of individual conceptions, the laws of equilibrium“ ____ MONDRIAN 1951 [1942 (!)]: 32.

Hence, it is only when there will be no art any more (but only technics) that "we" will (perhaps) have become "civilized".

Taking all this further — and especially in my time, while being constantly bombarded by primitive and insensitive beings, words, and papers on nearly all levels —, I may restart making art again one day...
... by simply making signature paintings out of the pure horizontal line (see the very first three pictures below), because I know no body (and no Mondrian and no Barnett Newman, either) who would have achieved and demonstrated such a perfect (NON-ARBITRARY) equilibrium... As you know, the cyclic (ARBITRARY) ups and downs of business, economy, science, and risk-seeking primitive map-makers is not much different from nature's "default-mode" being permanent (blind) GROWTH and (blind) PROCREATION (which is only periodically — cyclically — stopped by OTHER growing beings and equally stubborn competitors like cancer cells, lawyers, economists, politicians, scientists, etc. ...).

But to achieve and to be ABLE to maintain some perfect "equilibrium" and steady-state may only be reserved to the highest civilized "humans" and map-makers or artists (which may have never existed in History so far...)...

And that's why perfect and hypersensitive "steady-state societies" (BATESON 1972) may have been so rare in History — and may have always been wiped out by (rather stupid and stubborn) extremely "schismogenic societies" (like "Western societies").

For my high quality photos of Le Thoronet, Troyes, Audincourt as well as my Future "Autumn Forest Chapel" Project (following Bazaine 1950 at Audincourt...) etc., see my corresponding photo albums on www.flickr.com ([2]).

This is my future "Autumn Forest Chapel" (2009 ff.) with delicate and extremely subtle stained glass bricks (here seen from the interior); for more see [3]

Besides (and unfortunately enough), most movies today are made by higher primates for higher primates.

Accordingly, most viewers growing up with such movies have no idea about alternative, non-primate role models and non-primitive behaviours and thinkings.

And that's why I had to write not only a small book (see "MAP 2020" [4]) but also a small film-script and story-board myself (Oliver_TheFilm_2005.pdf).
