To make blind worms see

Try to make blind worms see

WAYNE CHANG(張政維)

The aesthetic system of my art works is based upon the idealistic philosophy of voluntarism, meaning that all phenomena of beauty are the presentational forms of the objective nature of Ideas.It should be beyond the visual experience and exoteric phenomena of beauty.If you hold an exhibition where works of abstractionism are displayed at left and representationalism at right, then my art works should ambiguously be placed between them two.Tend to be more abstract lyricism.

There is no proofthat there is some magical spirit, that is invisible, living above us, right on top of us. In this case, they happen to be worms that are blind…Someone try to modify to have vision. He try to make blind worms see. How many senses do worms have ? They have two. Smell and touch. So they live without any ability to see or even know about light. The notion of light to them is unimaginable. But we humans, we know that light exists. All around them…right on top of them, they can not sense it. But with a little mutation, they do. So perhaps some humans, rare humans, have mutated to have another sense. A spirit sense. And can perceive a world that is right on top of us. Just like the light on these worms. So I am a bit like a mutant. And I am not the only one. I live in this fairy, magical, fantasy land that I wanna believe, like a child.

Traditional theory of reflection and representationalism is not the only method for study of art and not adequate enough to reveal the essence of art either. The eyes and the brain are connected. If the cellular structure in the eye is reoccurring from person to person, then ,aybe something in the brain carries over as well, like neurological link. And maybe the eye really is some kind of window to the soul.

A scientist once asked the Dalai Lama “ what would you do if something scientific disproved your religious beliefs ? “ And he said after much thought. “ I would look at all the papers, and take a look at all the research and really try to understand things. And in the end, if it was clear that the scientific evidence disproved my spiritual beliefs, I would change my beliefs. “

What would you do if something spiritual disproved your scientific beliefs ?
