Designing The Thought Web

A web emerges when several connections are established. Through

experiences that endure over time, we start developing conscious and

unconscious creative patterns from infancy. For instance, we may consider

neural networks, cell clusters, and social insect colonies among systems

that leverage the interactions of many fundamental components or agents

to execute highly complex calculations in a distributed manner. On the

other hand, the nervous system has many cells interconnected with

thousands of others in intricate networks that cover extensive areas and

exhibit a boundless array of functions, making its structure and operation

challenging to comprehend. We believe that identifying these networks at

the synaptic level and understanding how their connection and morphology

influence function will aid in resolving the cognitive enigma. In a

comparable manner, how can we map the structure of our thoughts and the

numerous disciplines? What is the approach by which we may structure our

thoughts, and what is the outcome?

Defining Perspectival Spaces at Cambridge Creation Lab

MIT researchers have discovered a novel method for constructing intricate three- dimensional structures using self-assembling polymer materials, which generate minuscule wires and junctions. They arrange block copolymer layers into orderly perpendicular rows, thus facilitating the creation of smaller chip components and serving as an alternative to photolithography used in the 1960s for computer chip fabrication. This evokes the image of a net, where intersecting fibers knot at their junctions, creating a flexible grid of square compartments. It evokes the concept of a fish trap, still in use for capturing fish and crustaceans, or the nets crafted by ancient Hawaiians from olona, firebrand, and stone sinkers. I focus on a site-specific wire mesh sculpture that, via its translucency, absorbs light and color, seamlessly integrating into the skyline while merging lyrical sublimity with appealing viewpoints on the present vs. the past. In a distinct setting, Irish author James Joyce ...

Color Perceptions

The classification of color remains a complex area of inquiry that has concerned philosophers, writers, and scientists throughout history. Is it an inherent characteristic of objects, such as dimensions and form? Is it an illusion, purely subjective and derived from visual experiences? The experimental modernist writer Hilda Doolittle, known by her initials H.D., believed it was her responsibility to synthesize disparate elements and explore the significance of color through a provocative, challenging, reductive, expansive, and analytical lens. Thus, she interrogated the entire notion of color in poetry. H.D. was dedicated to the ideal of completeness that centuries of Europeans had invested in Ancient Greece. The poet's desire for the complete subjugation of color and sensations is paradoxical, as the enchantment of color and objects is essential to her. The poet's yearning for a "still" and "unmoving" world stems from the inherent violence of object...

Optical Consciousness is a Reprojection or Realignment of the Mind to Create a Multidimensional Space

(The onset and core values of Cambridge Creation Lab) I spent more than five years completing my project, A Square and a Half-The Colors are Sounding, culminating in its launch at the MIT Museum in the autumn of 2018. The project comprises twenty sung lyrical narratives or songs that combine a variety of genres, as well as a journal that compiles narrative fragments, song lyrics, and images that disclose feelings, emotions, recollections, and associations. Numerous voices convey this information. I have endeavored to filter through a new visual language to convey the starkness of the interior world of human consciousness about scientific thought and information. I have attempted to reconstruct personal memories, experiences, and imagination to synthesize lyrical abstraction from scientific research or ideas. To reveal the layers of open configurations and the underlying references, connotations, parallels of thought, and re...
