Abstract
-
"Arriving to Spetses, I was already fascinated by the sea. The form of the wave, which is always changing, is never the same, but it has its unique quality. From far away the repetition of the form has a rhythm, but in small detail, it is chaotic. By observing nature -the form of nature- we can always find repetition of qualities in different scales, which have a chaotic order. Forms of the wave, stone, wind. These qualities -elements have an effect on each other, and on other forms connected to them. The heat of the sun rises the wind, the waves are blown by it and the rock is washed by the waves. Roots of plants go between rocks, birds of the sky fly in the wind, boats of men sale on waves. These forms are all connected in a harmonic relation, finding order in chaos. Through our senses, we absorb and process information from the outer and from the inner world as well. Some of this information has a meaning and guide us in our society. Dealing with this kind of information is usually automatic, we have learned how to do it, our thinking -brain context- is formed in the same way. Other information -context of information- we can learn it, put it into our thinking spectrum, or just let it be absorbed." Balázs Kontur
