Artist Statement As a painter I strive for a quality of surface; rich lushness in both texture and depth of color. Observing nature is the visual stimulus that defines my compositions as they might mirror nature as refraction, tessellation, or as a phenomenon of entropy. As an artist, my work is about the fusion of the spiritual and intellectual --- what I call “defining synectics”. This concept is what inspires drives me to the deeper levels of content and context in my work. This might also be described as ‘cognitive understanding’ working in symphony with ‘unconscious competence.’ One might even call it a struggle between Extrinsic and Intrinsic motivation.
In his book “Mindsteps to the Cosmos” (Harper Collins, August 1983), Gerald S. Hawkins elucidated this notion of ‘mindsteps’- as dramatic and irreversible changes to paradigms or world views. He identified five distinct mindsteps in human history and the technology that accompanied these “new world views”the invention of imagery, writing, mathematics, printing, the telescope, rocket, computer, radio, and TV. “Each one takes the collective mind closer to reality, one stage further along in its understanding of the relation of humans to the cosmos.” He noted, “The waiting period between the mindsteps is getting shorter. One can’t help noticing the acceleration.”
“Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole.” I have driven past this enormous sign by Lawrence Weiner at the Walker Art Center innumerous times, and it always reminds me of the Synectic link in artistic expression. R Buckminster Fuller describes Synectics as the process of discovering the links that unite seemingly disconnected elements… The word synectics comes from the Greek word synectikos which means “bringing forth together…” or “bringing different things into unified connection.” For me, Synectics represents the infinite potential of connecting the dots within a vastly infinite matrix and suggests the path to exponential knowledge.
“Hawkins’ empirical ‘mindstep equation’ quantified this, and gave dates for future mindsteps. The date of the next mindstep (5; the series begins at 0) is given as 2021, with two more successively closer mindsteps until the limit of the series in 2053. His speculations ventured beyond the technological: The mindsteps appear to have certain things in common- a new and unfolding human perspective, related inventions in the area of memes and communications, and a long formulative waiting period before the next mindstep comes along. None of the mindsteps can be said to have been truly anticipated, and most were resisted at the early stages. In looking to the future, we may equally be caught unaware. We may have to grapple with what is presently inconceivable, with mind-stretching discoveries and concepts.” This process might continue exponentially, with ever more intelligent machines making larger increments to the intelligence of the next machine (this process is referred to as Recursive self-improvement.) I. J. Good (born Isadore Jacob Gudak ) described this as an “intelligence explosion”.
In William J.J. Gordon’s book, The Development of Creative Capacity, synectics is characterized as a problem solving approach that stimulates creativity through processes of which the subject is generally unaware. Gordon encapsulates this method as “Trusting things that are alien, and alienating things that are trusted.” In my work, paintings are often paired with titles that attempt to clarify this idea of synectic reasoning by connecting the vast matrix of complex relationships between science and mysticism, the metaphysical and the spiritual. I love numbers and equations and I’m fascinated by entanglement physics and noetic science. I want my work to suggest the preponderance of opposites, and the fusion of elements as I contemplate the principles that govern this dynamism. There’s an unconscious element that has the potential to be redefined as Super-consciousness, that explores the metaphysical and spiritual while still scientific and cognitive. 142
My vision for the work I do is just that- a practice that strives for an intelligence explosion...a new vocabulary...a new kind of science based on defining ---SYNECTICS. Edward Lentsch 2014
