Archetypture of Time has been created since 2009, it was the records of the days - the fragments of time on the road, the interleave of all threads of reality. When, after a few years, the word matured, finally, to be laid on the pages of the book, a new creative impulse was needed. The idea of writing the text using a QR code came from a hidden dimension of this reality.

Then by chance I found a note, made on September 26, 2009 at 18:20...

BOOK FORM: the page text as a geometric sample After reading it I recalled Malevich! In 1913, working on the costumes for "futuristic opera" Victory over the Sun, Kazimir Malevich created the concept of painting A Black Square on a white background. www.CyberEmpathy.com

This picture was presented in 1915 in Petrograd. The black square has become an expression of rejection of the world of objects, the announcement of Suprematism or the objectless art. Similarly, notation in the form of a QR code becomes in Archetypture of Time an expression of the rejection of the traditional text and linear literature. By creating a book based on pure geometric form, on the structure of the black squares, using QR codes, I move the text to the cyberspace. Just as the Suprematism founded the separation of art from reality, I found the separation of the text from the book.

The metaphor of The Victory over the Sun in this case becomes the Victory over the text. The book becomes a work, a collection of the abstract paintings, of black squares - and also pure information, a text, a code for the artificial intelligence and mobile devices. It allows you to travel through the clouds of the cyber world. I call it the art of words without words.

Playing with form of the book, I wished also to pay homage to Piet Mondrian, the founder of neoplasticism, the creator of red, yellow and blue, as his famous splits of the image plane are the essence of the pure geometric art.

In addition, in the book we find the archetypal language. The language of signs and symbols, the richness of drawings of the different cultures and beliefs. Here is the encoded message of the ancestors as a bridge between the encoded tales or rather anti-tales of my authorship with the archetypal original source.

The scanned code gives us the text - I assume that every reader would like to personalize the text. Such an attempt was made on the holistic design workshop on 14 April 2013 in Krakow, at the Art Bunker, which is fragmentally presented in the book.
