  I need to know, in your imagination, what is a color of a square?

  I am thinking, that the synesthesia is one of the resources of symbolic culture: this, I understand as a ritual/habitual substitution of one object by another one. And I am looking for an answer, ifI am thinking, that the synesthesia is one of the resources of symbolic culture: this, I understand as a ritual/habitual substitution of one object by another one. And I am looking for an answer, if there is any coincidence in the responds of our imaginations; what would be a simple way to proof the origin of archetypes (the Jung´s conception) in our culture. I think now about the western one, which is well designed by Aristotle.

  Is anybody working on fourteenth century art or architecture (art c. 1300 in France, England, Italy) ?

  The sensation of aesthetic complexity

  Monroe Beardsley described the complexity of modern batik: To realize the modern batik design that both involve complex systems in the manufacturing process. The complexity of the awakened nature ofMonroe Beardsley described the complexity of modern batik: To realize the modern batik design that both involve complex systems in the manufacturing process. The complexity of the awakened nature of interaction among system elements and design principles, as well as the background, characteristics, and the perspective of the designer. It is important for the designer to understand the importance of complexity and how complexity can result in batik aesthetic sensation. The most important issue is managing the complexity of inter-element design, so as to increase sales and appeal. How do we evaluate aesthetic complexity? How can we increase the sensation of aesthetic complexity for consumers?

  Dear friends, today question is: what is a color of the water?

  I continue the investigation about the archetypes, and I invite you to take a look on the experimental philosophy.

I think that it is the convenient platform to think about art, even if it is mostly concluding in terms of psychology; but this one leads to neuroscience. I am interested to link the basic visual order established by archetypes to the functions of the brain. And I think it is possible just if we part from the experiment which makes sens in both territories.

  Why hasn't color developed as a more sophisticated language base?

  Color differentiation seems as though it would be ideally suited for complex language.

I know, since I speak Brazilian as well as English, that it's much easier to discuss the range and intensity of a colour in Brazilian since there are many more words to use than there are in English. Colours also have different meanings for different groups of people.

  What is it?

  Look at it from either a scientific/intellectual background or from a poetic/artistic view. Apart from its having been altered are you able to determine what it might be? Monstero - (c)daisy morant

TheFor those of us who do not read Spanish I have translated Susana's comments: I do not know what it is! But the feeling it gives me: disturbing, garbage, aggressiveness, thorns ... visual stress! The colors are very aggressive, like the profiles of the objects, the color saturation and contrast ... Come on, something like the word CRISIS we hear so much! Greetings to all! For Susana: Thanks for your comments: this was a very large potato that had sprouted large, ugly, distorted shoots. After I took the picture I worked with my image editing program and came up with what you see. The title, "Monstero" suggested itself. Para Susana: Gracias por sus comentarios a: esto era una patata muy grande que había surgido grandes brotes feos y deformes.

  Rahul, interesting discussion. The sea has been edging towards land here in Tamil Nadu for quite some time.

I am an artist, who is interestedI am currently working on a PhD with the title "Arctificial Territory" at the University of Reading, UK. Kind of an art/science/psychology project (practice based). I am an artist, who is interested in science, was tempted to study physics once, but had decided to go for Fine Art/Film & Video. Currently talking to many scientists about their approach to research. Mostly empirical ... and somehow this is the holy cow, also in art and art education. Governments, university boards with their managers and the industry want to measure outcomes respective success; and it seems that unis think that they need to apply empirical measurements to art and humanities. Anyway, there is not only one way of doing science, as there is not only one way of making art. I am quite interested in Paul Feyerabend, an Austrian (like me) who wrote a book called: Against method. He also refers in this book to Michael Kropotkin, the father of anarchy and thinks that anarchy could be a good method for science. I know that I have simplified this a bit. I actually think that anarchic methods (a paradox perhaps) might be quite refreshing and useful for whatever envelopes SCIENCE. SO, yes, even Feyerabend, who is against universal methodologies, cannot deny methodologies. Perhaps, best art and best science come about by using different approaches and developing new methodologies. Thinking and feeling the unusual way. Circling around the questions (research ones or whatever) in a spiral structure or as Timothy Morton has mentioned mesh. Perhaps some meshy thinking and sensing might be helpful. Who says that the only road to Rome leads via empirical systemising?

I am fascinated about marineScience and art is very much interconnected. Without art, it is difficult for a scientist to comprehend whatever he/she understand/works on. Art is the first attraction. I am fascinated about marine ecology. Dolphins, plankton, crabs, nudibranchs etc.. they all visually attract me and I take the next step which is to understand them. Theatre helps me define the uniqueness of each organism, how they evolved and how they are evolving/surviving at the same time it also makes me understand my own body, the way i move, the way i see, the way i perceive things around me which translates wonders. Working on my first play brings such joy. I guess i have developed wings. I would highly recommend scientists to experiment on theatre/art. My ultimate aim to bring out a confluence of science and art. The impact is unimaginable. A medium where creator and creation shake hands. Please check out this interesting initiative by a marine biologist and an artist http://www.morphologicstudios.com/
