Description

By examining the paradigm shift in contemporary art and digital art through the lens of ancient Greek philosophy, we can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying principles and concepts that shape our understanding of reality, knowledge and human experience. In the context of ancient Greek philosophy, hylomorphism refers to the idea that reality consists of two fundamental principles: matter (hyle) and form (morphe). This concept was central to Aristotle's philosophy and had a profound influence on Western thought. According to Aristotle, matter (hyle) refers to the raw, formless matter that constitutes the world. It is potentiality, the stuff that can be shaped and transformed into various things. Shape (morph), on the other hand, refers to the structure, pattern or essence that gives matter its specific characteristics and identity. In digital art, hylomorphism can be seen as a useful framework for understanding the relationship between the material substrate of the digital domain (code, pixels, etc.) and the creative intentions of the artist. The material substrate of the digital domain can be thought of as matter (hyle), the raw material that can be shaped and transformed into various digital objects and experiences. The code, algorithms, and data that make up the digital domain are the potentiality, the elements that can be shaped and transformed into various things. The artist's creative intentions, on the other hand, can be seen as the shape (morph), structure, pattern or essence that gives the digital material its specific characteristics and identity. The artist's vision, ideas and skills constitute the form that shapes and gives meaning to digital material. In this sense, digital art can be seen as a form of hylomorphism, in which the material substrate of the digital realm is shaped and formed by the creative intentions of the artist. The digital work of art is the actualization of the potential of digital material, created by the structuring power of the artist's creativity. This framework can help us understand the complex relationships between the artist, the digital material and the creative process. It emphasizes the importance of both the material substrate and creative intentions in the formation of the final work of art. 2160 x 3716 / 4k mp4 / 100 Mo / 44 s / 12 frames 1/1 collection 22/30 #FEPUM « Fix Eye Perpetual Uncontrolled Movement» a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece : Saint John the Baptist - Bartolomé González - 1621 on view at : Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Hongrie
