|| The Real

|| Photographer - steals the world. He has the point of view. He adds a cheap effect and sells the world as his own art. He is an artist because he's allowed to be one.

|| The Paradigm - cycle reflects current change of social-scientific paradigm. This change began with new scientific /theoretical physics, psychology, medicine/ discoveries during last century, that refused model of the world as a mechanic machine. These breakthroughs forced the need of thinking in brand new way about the question of how the world and universe works.

Because this change of thinking is fundamental, the changeover must be radical and strongly batters all the habits and mind schemes. Partly the fear of such a huge changeover, maybe our adherence to the old orders, activates defensive mechanisms in us that dont admit this process. That might be the reason why it is still though as something absurd that doesnt concerns us.

The moment, when a human as a new-born being starts to recognize visually its surrounding environment, when  the eyesight is not evolved completely yet while fragments of reality are emerging from the unconsciousness, being not comprehensible... what is The Ilusion at that moment?

The Paradigm || Utopia ²⁰¹⁰

Utopia is something that doesn't exists, although all the potencial is available. What is the problem? The fear of thinking different? Or is the conception of reality so strong that we simply can not imagine such change?
