Art is Diverse Process

The value of diversity

This little rambling expedition was prompted by my reading this article below (click it to see it or here)

It is an article about a scientifically measurable phenomenon that occurs in both physical living and non-living systems and gives evidence that all order emerges out of disorder. It struck me that this could be seen to have some relevance to making art.

This is a thing that interests me because I believe art-making does this in the interaction between the physical living art-maker and the non-living materiality of the art object, as painting or piano. I am interested in this, like I am interested in the phenomena of ‘recursion’. Recursion as an idea can be found in art, science, maths, coding, ecology, language and experiential learning and I am interested in things that crop up in diverse settings. That this can describe a gas as well as a goose is what interests me. I like the idea that this may describe some underlying (or overbearing) principle that can be, with limitations, be applied universally.
