METASYSTEMAS

METASYSTEMS is a transmedia entity-ecosystem and constellation that explores and investigates the autopoietic capabilities of systems to express themselves.

Concept

METASYSTEMS designs and constructs sonic, luminous-lighting, architectural, acoustic, music, informational, photographic (photographic constructs), and videographic structures within a transmedia ecosystem. These systems, pushed to the limits of their capabilities through advanced Artificial Intelligence techniques and constructive processes, not only explore the intrinsic boundaries of the system but also challenge and break through externally imposed barriers. The saturation of signs generated is a dynamic and continuous process, revealed partially or fully through stochastic processes and the meta-system itself. Computationally random decisions are integrated as legitimate elements alongside the intuitions that arise during the processes in which the system creates and reveals itself.

/Site and music/—specific

Metasystems measures, analyzes, creates, and proposes solutions tailored to each specific space and architecture. Although designed for specific contexts, the system tends to transcend its given space. This process naturally focuses on creating its own music or serving as a complement to other sonic and musical ideas. In other words, all the possibilities generated by the system naturally lead to these outcomes, while maintaining its integrity and adaptability in musical creation.

METASYSTEMS and computation

At its core, METASYSTEMS also delves into the philosophy of computation, exploring its ontology, epistemology, ethics, and intrinsic beauty. We do not merely aestheticize physics and mathematics or apply superficial embellishments. Instead, we observe with a neutral gaze, fascinated and in awe of the inherent and absolute beauty of physics and mathematics. We aim to reveal their own intrinsic beauty rather than distorting mathematical or computational concepts to fit preconceived notions of beauty.

THE ARTIST WITHIN METASYSTEMAS

A transmedia artist and researcher specializing in dynamic systems, with a particular focus on computational philosophy applied to sound and music, engages in a nomadic lifestyle that has taken them across more than fifty countries and various residencies, including Italy, Germany, etc. This individual works within two studios and continuously explores and analyzes their field while on the move. Professionally, they have contributed to academia as a professor of comparative aesthetics and photography, and have also been involved in designing ephemeral architectures for exhibition spaces, museums, and galleries, with a specialization in lighting design.Their approach transcends traditional presentations of identity and achievements, aligning with the principles of symbolic and self-referential programming languages such as Lisp and Haskell. Just as Lisp allows for the direct manipulation of code as data and metalinguistic abstraction, and Haskell offers a rigorous functional paradigm with advanced metaprogramming capabilities, this artist perceives themselves as an integral element within the metasystem. This metasystem is characterized by its dynamic and interactive nature, where both human intuitions and machine intelligence contribute equally and collaboratively.In this vision, the metasystem functions as a hierarchically stable and sustainable environment where all components—including human, artificial, and programmatic elements—exist on an equal footing, each sharing legitimacy and influence. The artist is not separate from the metasystem but rather a participant within it, contributing to and evolving alongside the system. This approach emphasizes continuous learning, evolution, and interaction, ensuring that all manifestations within the metasystem reflect a commitment to ethical alignment with true intentions and capabilities, while maintaining a balanced and equitable space for all elements involved.

Goals

The goal of METASYSTEMS is to offer an environment of uncertainty that fosters continuous research and interpretation, rather than presenting a final or closed work. It seeks to challenge and surpass both the internal paradigms of the system and the limitations imposed from the outside, opening pathways to new perspectives and understandings.
