"We know not through our intellect but through our experience."
-- Maurice Merleau-Ponty Phenomenology of Perception
"...a creative feeling of transporting the person into a new reality.
It pushes the person to higher levels of performance, and leads to
previously undreamed-of states of consciousness."
-- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
In quest for Next Art, Flow Follow Flow orchestrates a move beyond the
bankrupt age of conceptual replication into a state of designed
phenomenology. The delectation of radiant and responsive elements is
served up as a tangy marinade, releasing us from a starvation diet of
post war contemporary.
In the soaring expanse of cathedral-vaulted space, with a
Csikszentmihalyi's "self-absorbed, contemplative awareness," viewers
interact with voluminous, sensory/auditory concoctions.
These psychological and rhythmic corporeal works embody an
immersive Zen or Aha moment - known to artists, musicians and athletes
alike as being 'in the Zone.'
With laser-focus concentration, in-Flow emotions and senses are not
just channeled, but heightened. In sustained momentum, Flow spawns a
feeling of capricious accord, even rapture.
