Provenance / HistoryThis work receives its pictorial structure from the study of visual metaphors based upon genetic patterns inherent in basic chemical interactions ....often slammed together by churning geological heat ...causing a surge in emergent systems ....and within the formation these systems, thousands of early life forms possibilities...often referred to as the "Cambrian Explosion", dating back 538 million years ago....this sort of speculative visualization ferments discussion and uses the invocation of Einstein for us to use imagination and mind experiments as a means of breakout thinking...
Story / Additional InfoThis work is based on an earlier series of works, usually referred to as the "Octopus Meditations" which speculated on Octopus "consciousness"....with a creature that has nine brains and lives a highly connected, intelligent life ahead of predators and prey....a true multi-task perceptual matrix....art and science seeking a combinatorial understanding of this magnificent creature.
