  • Technoetic Pathways toward the Spiritual in Art: A Transdisciplinary Perspective on Connectedness, Coherence and Consciousness

    Roy AscottARTICLELeonardo2006Cited by: 2References: 3

    The coherence of living systems may be due in part to an information network of biophotons emitted by DNA molecules. This network can be seen as parallel to the telematic networks that connect the planet. Nanotechnology can play a significant role in the emergence of a moistmedia substrate for technoetic art. Immaterial connectedness confers a spiritual dimension on both telematic art and quantum mechanics. Field theory supports the contention th…

  • Planetary Technoetics: Art, Technology and Consciousness

    Roy AscottARTICLELeonardo2004References: 3

    As the planet becomes telematically unified, the self becomes dispersed. The convergence of dry silicon pixels and biologically wet particles is creating a moistmedia substrate for art where digital systems, telematics, genetic engineering and nanotechnology meet. A technoetic aesthetic not only will embrace new media, technology, consciousness research and non-classical science but also will gain new insights from older cultural traditions previ…

  • Orai , or How the Text Got Pleated: A Genealogy of La Plissure du Texte: A Planetary Fairytale

    Roy AscottARTICLELeonardo2004

    This paper is an attempt to make sense of the Japanese word orai and to consider in what way the author's own “comings and goings” across artistic, literary and esoteric pathways led to the formulation of his practice, later to be theorized as telematic art and to be understood as a form of associative connectivism. The paper focuses on La Plissure du Texte, his first project involving distributed authorship

  • Chronology and Working Survey of Select Telecommunications Activity

    Carl Eugene Loeffler, Carl Loeffler et al.ARTICLELeonardo1991

    7 he following is a partial, working survey of telecommunications activity in the arts, highlighting North American and European projects. The chronology is not complete, and it is hoped that it will be expanded upon to more fully reflect the wide range of activity in the field. The editors invite artists to bring to our attention other projects that should be added to this chronology for publication at a later date. Telecommunications is hereby …

  • Towards a Field Theory for Post-Modernist Art

    Roy AscottARTICLELeonardo1980

    I would like to look at the attributes of a paradigm for art, a field theory which would replace the formalist modernist aesthetic. It takes as its focus not form but behavior; not an information model of the sending/receiving of messages in a one-way linearity but the interrogation of probabilities by the viewer; it looks at a system in which the artwork is a matrix between two sets of behaviors (the artist and the observer) providing for a fiel…

  • The Cybernetic Stance: My Process and Purpose

    Roy AscottARTICLELeonardo1968Cited by: 2

    There is apparently a paradox in that, as artists, some of us become progressively process-oriented, but continue to produce art objects. For me this is necessary since I work on two levels from a common set of attitudes: on the social level, elaborating plans for a Cybernetic Art Matrix; on the intimate level making individual art works. Both processes are concerned with creating triggers-initiating creative behaviour in the observer/participant…
