Bioism: A new art form shapes CreativeMindClass Blog - The CreativeMindClass Blog

Mar 16, 2022

"I come from that region of Soviet Union in what is now Ukraine. I enjoyed drawing when I was a kid and even won several prizes. When I was in high school, decided to study economics, however, I was not happy with the possibility of having to work full-time sitting at a boring desk at a dusty workplace. Therefore, I decided to take a shot to pursue art using a methodical approach. This eventually brought me to the classes taught by Konrad Klapheck at the Art Academy of Dusseldorf. After that, I went to study under Shirin Neshat, a teacher from Salzburg."

"Making art for me is a significant method of creating unimaginable and imagined universes.

Images that resemble aliens, mysterious images and shapes - these are my kind of thing that I enjoy thinking about and imagine. When I was younger, as with everyone I began with my surroundings but then I began feeling unsatisfied with how I perceived visual information.

The attempt to create the most diverse possible universe and to discover artefacts that have no provenance motivated me to compose utterly different universes."

What would you say about your art style?

"Bioism. Biofuturism. Paradise Engineering. Bioethical Abolitionism. My daily reflections and quotation is:

Bioism or biofuturism represents my attempt to create new living forms with a modern aesthetic that reflects the next generation of living things. Bioism is an approach to create art pieces that demonstrate the visual potential of biological synthetic processes. Bioism can be described as a technique to create art that is built upon the potential of nature, diversity and. Each work as a living being. Bioism extends life to lifeless objects.
Personally, I am convinced that within the next few years following the evolutionary revolution that we'll have living furniture, reside in living houses, as well as travel through space with living spaces. But the most exciting aspect will be the capacity for artists to design living things, which will allow them to create novel forms of life. The art form will take on the feeling of birth. This could be a response of the artwork to the artist and the surroundings. The art museums of the future could be transformed into zoological park galleries, which could be transformed into new diversity funds, ateliers into biology laboratories.
Bioism is a movement to encourage innovative and infinite forms of life in all the world. Paradise engineering represents an epiphany in the field of bioethics. ...

As I read it, the manifesto is not complete, since I myself am a living process still working on it."

What are the most important factors for you to create your own installations?

"I attempt to steer clear of any primitive geometrics that are not straight lines or no lines even if it is possible. I am chasing after the intersection of macro and micro on regular basis.

Anything that's not understood or extremely complex will be instantly recognized in our vision as living or organic. Biology is among the deepest and most complicated information structure that exists in the universe."

The church is a formal area. Do you have difficulty working in this kind of space?

"It depends upon your innermost desires, your hidden burdens or the amount of doubt of your knowledge of where you fit within the human race. For me, there is no understanding of time, space and their marvels. In the institution, I am like a child with fascination in an immense and bizarre playground with has an element of communication.

It is my goal to show respect to its artistic talent, however I do not forget about its fun aspect, which is the part about conversing with God. It's like an XXL-style phone booth. When you're talking or trying to understand it is also possible to laugh."

What is your level of charge of the creation process and how much of the creation process is biomimetic?

"Controlling chaos can be an extremely difficult task. My eyes and ear are always trying to hear any unknown sound and to discover a new shape that calls to me and captures my imagination. It's not just a an all-in-one process, where you're mining machines mining lucky gems, and then tossing a mountain of uninteresting possibilities at your back. Not for me.

My passions often are combined with other minor options to create not just enjoyable music, but divergent revelation as well. The best part of the work is creating a new world when you are aware of how you want it to appear. Sometimes you have a daydream or perhaps at evening when you're sleeping. The fact remains that the more I design and design, the more enjoyment I get, and chaos can be my companion during the evolution in bioism."

Are you a creative person? Or can you find more than pleasure from creating? Do you enjoy meditation, or communicating with the more vulnerable you?

"Drawing time is the time to contemplate. Also, I create as I explore myself, and I see the ways in which I might surprise my own self as well as how the universe can surprise me - which involves any and all possibilities in this enigmatic path. Sometimes, it's funny in fact, and when I'm feeling more exhilarated and energized, I set out into the world to make an appearance."

How did you get to bioism? What was your first step before the decision?

"The first steps were rather normal: I remember how happy I was about my half-drawing-half-painting of the tractor in the field for which I was praised in kindergarten.

The following decades, I fell in love by landscape drawings and could lay in grass for hours at a time and try to draw naturally-moving lines onto sheet of paper. In the end I made portraits. Then I became dissatisfied, and annoyed by the dullness of any human figure that was reproduced (including in videos and photos) which is why I ended my work. When I was done, the egg's body dropped off, and I was revealed as a phoenix (or Godzilla). That means that I came closer to reality. What's the real meaning? The idea isn't to define the present one, but rather to create a new one. It was the first day of bioethics, and also the biosphere I was born into."

As I perused your IG I had a thought Bioism might be interested in homeless issues in LA...

"But there was another account that the city was frozen on the streets , and that the people were happy to be touched by any touch from a human, to hear the Christmas art-story of the new-born bioism as well as to play with the tiny blue children of it.

The grim poverty that is visible on the beaches of Hollywood might prompt you to go on another route altogether - I have to imagine the ethical implications of bioism in interaction with the fictitious Diogenes from Venice."
