How to apply scientific objectivity to art creation and processes.
In relation with The multidimensionality of the plant project, Subjective nature narrates the path followed by the question: How can I represent the reality (the plants themself) without letting my subjectivity interfere?
For this aim, it was decided to apply the scientific method to the artistic creation process.
We explore the use of technology and scientific tools to create and analyze complex structures composed of dots, lines, curves, and shadows, which the human eye alone cannot fully capture. By employing devices like microscopes, scanners, and laser cutters, these structures can be reproduced and reinterpreted, offering new perspectives on overlooked details, such as the textures and veins of leaves.
This process emphasizes the objectivity and precision of machines while minimizing subjective artistic intervention. It raises questions about the role of the artist versus the machine in interpreting and representing reality. The text invites reflection on what the artist’s touch adds to our understanding of the world and how machine-generated representations influence our perception of the environment.
