RE-GENERATED VISION

I remember reading Carl Jung's Man and his symbols, he mentions about human perception and its inability to understand any concept fully and perceive everything slightly in modified degree than others based on its psychical significance to the respective individual. This led me to think that if no concept is fully understood or perceived, how can we communicate them with conviction? and how can we make a case in defence that the concept communicated is nothing beyond itself,  not contradicted and unbiased flow of knowledge if any?

My conception of creative art based on a specific theme or constructed around a particular concept started to differ. Later, I observed that people want to know what an art piece was  meant to be even before they invest the time needed for a visual experience. Very few have time enough to absorb the art and understand the experience, not everyone comfortable doing that- unknown brings a lot of discomfort to many. 

Artists generally force themselves out of social conditioning or mental block to follow the trend, mostly it remains a transaction of consumer and vendor than artistic expressions. The artist, becomes important and visible when he says what people want to hear or even worse what they don't want to hear. everything that exceeds or doesn't fit in this apparatus goes unwanted and invisible. 

Someone who communicates and responds through visual art for the obligation of time and trends become an artist of present and the one who has his own ways and concerns, become the artist of tomorrow (if only he can generate public interest out of controversy, sympathy or struggle however indirectly relevant to his art). 

Our lives are documented to micro level today, tracing through social media, even to an extent of everyday financial transactions or through pictures that people capture randomly and restlessly to share  a story. Everything we draw, we write, we speak are documented and perhaps will be manipulated to serve the interests of whoever concerned at any given point of time. 

Most of the information that our senses capture are well defined and documented apart from those which have bypassed out of complexity. Even though the content of our sensory source object is same, we decode that information and pass through our mind to process further ,only achieving something different than what others have perceived unless we consider only a few popular perspectives as important.

The efficiency, navigating through multiple sensory data seamlessly is a talent. How a few remarkable ones connect and represent this information is also a genius of the individual. The structure created out of this repeated exercise is what makes an artist. The artist identifies himself as a representative of a structure made of this repeated exercise. 

These structures become popular because of time and space, a few don't because of their similarity to other structures or not significant enough to be distinguishable. Some structures go unnoticed due to its complexity or discomfort of content or because of non relatable experiences. 

As an artist we try to tweak this structure in its early age according to time and trends. Some can and some may not; because the fundamental ingredients that make their structure may collapse if forced to follow unnatural path. Some structures may be rigid or too fragile to tweak. Some artist tweak enough and settle down on their unique combination inspite of its disapproval of time due to conviction or exhaustion. 

The ability to frame this structure in a certain order and churn out a well carried out process may be relatable to an individual so much so that he continues despite its non approval by time, which remains only as a new vision limited to time. 

A vision that captures beyond modern day cameras, social media creativity along with authoritarian watchful eyes and all kind of possible documentations. This vision is truly creative, human and alive, a visual knowledge that can not be translated into a piece of information or even simplified like an emoji. A visual knowledge that can be passed on as pure experience alone. 

Very rarely we witness such excellence, difficult to believe and differentiate between everything and nothing at the same time; although this vision, generated out of worldly illusion stands as a newly created form of truth which unravelled many facets of unknown. This vision challenges history and registers a new time in a new space with respect to our evolution as species. 

These visions are possibly a new road map for future due to their complexity in nature, a new code to navigate rather than a mere historical fact of human excellence and accomplishment. 

Our reception of concepts may not be complete or competent enough but our processing capacities bring out new possibilities than a concrete notion, a flux which gives rise to many directions.
