Entropic Symbiosis

About

The works exhibited in “ Entropic Symbiosis ” invite the viewer to establish connections and interpretations, which precede the traditional narrative and hermeneutic discourse of art history, to enable a new form of dissertation and renew the contemplative experience.

Technology allows us to overcome some of the obstacles that human vision cannot categorize and understand. Technological devices help us to transcend perceptual limitations. This way of manoeuvring has changed cognitive processes and has become an alternative model to understand the dimension in which we are immersed and therefore recognize the existence of other forms of life. Accepting the complexity of matter will allow us to discover an extensive series of Symbiosis; both organic and synthetic.

While entropy discovers magnitudes between different micro and macro states, whose arrangement of elements implies a systematic balance and organization of matter; the symbiosis of knowledge is a component that enables artistic methodologies to move towards new transversal research models. Therefore accessing techno-scientific reference sources can not only expand our word, but it also allows us to expand our notions of how we should relate and interact with the environment.

In the molecular age, the matter has been reinterpreted, now we can understand it as a conglomerate of molecules of different kinds; This definition has empowered different transformations and experimentations. This method of using matter in art has been called "Molecular Aesthetics".

The application of these terms in the creative context allows us to understand the matter from different territories and discourses; both the categories and the ways of describing a piece of art have changed substantially. For this reason, on one hand, the curatorial project exhibits a series of works, which obey different treatments related to the subject of “ Entropic Symbiosis ”, on the one hand, we find pieces made in different media and others where the artistic procedure obeys an investigation, which refers to areas of knowledge other than those of the arts (geochemistry, microbiology, neurology and quantum physics).

With this initiative, we try to make it evident that there are different forms of life, cellular and molecular configurations. Elements that we still do not know their origin and how they work. Perceptual dimensions, which we cannot yet discern, nevertheless coexist in parallel, and although we are unable to determine their exact territory of convergence, it is also not wise to ignore their existence and place in our universe. In this time interval, it is where the pieces of art exhibited here serve as a threshold to these strange constructions of matter.

This situation can be glimpsed by the viewer making an exploration around the artistic proposals, where he will find a wide range of natures modified, altered and synthetically replicated.

In conclusion, "Entropic Symbiosis" invites the observer to consider the existence of unknown life forms and for this purpose, it is pertinent to carefully inspect the exhibition site, because the works formulate a mutation and alteration of matter, from a molecular perspective, in order to be able to devise how we will manage to erect an appropriate and balanced transition towards a planetary civilization.
