Bioism: New form of living art CreativeMindClass Blog

"I was born in the Soviet Union in what is now Ukraine. I enjoyed drawing when I was when I was a kid and even was awarded several prizes. After high-school I went on to earn a bachelor's degree in economics. However, I wasn't happy by the prospect of a full-time job at in a dull and dusty workplace. Thus, I decided to pursue art with an approach that was serious, and this eventually brought me to the classes of Konrad Klapheck at the Art Academy of Dusseldorf. Then, I went onto becoming a student of Shirin Neshat, a teacher from Salzburg."

"Making art is for me an essential process in creating the impossible, imagined worlds.

Aliens-like aesthetics, strange shapes and images - this is the kind of thing I love to imagine and visualize. Naturally, during my early years, like everyone else, I began with my surroundings , however, I soon became unsatisfied by the way I interpreted known visual information.

The need to create each possible variant and artefact of unknown origin motivated me to create completely new universes."

What is your art style?

"Bioism. Biofuturism. Paradise Engineering. Bioethical Abolitionism. My day-to-day reflection and quote:

Bioism , often referred to biofuturism, is my attempt to develop new living organisms and a new aesthetics of futuristic organic life. Bioism could be defined as a method to create works of art that express the artistic possibilities inherent in synthetic biological processes. Bioism is an effort to create art that is based on the power of life, diversity and. Each work as a living being. Bioism gives life to dead subject matter.

Personally, I'm convinced that in the future, in the wake of an evolutionary revolution, we'll use living furniture, live in living houses, as well as travel throughout space in living rooms. The most fascinating aspect will be the capability for artists to interact on living things and create new forms of life. Expression through art can gain the feeling of being born. The fantastical may represent the reaction of an art work to its artist and the environment. The art museums of the future might transform into zoological gardens, galleries into new life diversity fund, ateliers in bio-labs.

Bioism is a movement to create different and inexhaustible types of life forms in the globe. Paradise engineering represents the pinnacle of bioethics through new methods ...

This manifesto, as I am of the opinion, cannot be completed, since I'm a biochemical system that is currently in the process of completing it."

What's the main thing that will allow you to build your own designs?

"I attempt to stay away from any geometric primitives such as straight lines or any at all in the event that it's possible. I'm chasing the collision between both micro and macro on an everyday day basis.

Any thing that is not understood or complex is immediately seen to the eye of the individual as either organic or living. Biology is one of the most complex and most complex information structures in the universe."

A church can be a formal location. Are you stressed to make in such space?

"It is contingent on your own personal goals, the burdens you've hidden or the level of doubt you have in your understanding of your place in the world of humankind. For me, there's no way to gain any understanding of time, space and its amazing wonders. So when I go to a church, I feel like I'm a little child that is exploring a vast and complicated playground that has some sort of communication function.

I try to be respectful toward it as an artist, but I don't overlook its fun part and conversing with a god. It is a bit like an XXL booth. While talking or listening, you may laugh too."

How do you feel about your control of the process of creation ? And how much of it is bioism?

"Controlling chaos is an extremely challenging undertaking. My eyes and ear are always open to the chance to discover a fresh form or tune that is a conversation with me, and it reaches my imagination. But it is not one way process where you behave like a mining machine, locating intriguing gems while throwing a plethora of non-interesting choices at you. This is not for me.

My interests are usually combined with and other interests in order to make an enjoyable melody as well as a sly discovery too. One of the most satisfying elements of this work is in creating a completely world that you don't even feel how it should look like. There are times when you think about it, or at sleep at night. However, the fact is that the more I create my world in my mind, the more joys I experience, and where chaos is my partner in growing bioism."

Are you an artist who enjoys it or find something other than enjoyment from it? Like practicing meditation or communicating with your vulnerability?

"Drawing time is contemplation time. In addition, I draw while discovering myself and how I could surprise my own self, and also how the universe is capable of surprising me. This involves every possible activity along this unusual journey. It can be funny at times however, sometimes when I'm feeling more adrenalin, I head out to the world to perform an."

What was your path towards bioism? What experiments were you making before you decided to make the decision to switch?

"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.

In the following times, I became obsessed with drawing landscapes, in which I would lie in the grass for hours at a time trying to draw organic motions onto sheet of paper. In the following years, I also created numerous portraits. Then, I got so unhappy, being bored of human faces which were replicated (including photographs and videos) and stopped. When I pulled myself back, the egg's hull was broken and I emerged like the phoenix (or Godzilla). This means I was closer to understanding the meaning of living. What exactly is it? The idea isn't to define the existing one present, but rather to develop the brand new one. It was also the first day of my bioethics and bioism."

When I was browsing through your IG I had a thought Bioism might be interested in the subject of homelessness, and homelessness within LA...

"But there was a different story: it was cold in the streets, and lonely residents were content to get any human touch, to be able to hear the Christmas tale of new born bioism and to play with the tiny blue baby of the world.

The grim poverty that is visible on the beaches of the Hollywood may trigger a completely other approach. I'm obliged to think of the philosophical aspects of bioism within a diogenes-like Diogenes from Venice."
