EPILOGUE.

EPILOGUE Are we forecasting the future for the sake of a prediction... proclaiming a sort of "new cleansing" utopian manifesto-driven art...or are we facing the challenge of the present just to help us move in the right direction; (if there is any direction we could anticipate from the heterogenous mass of visual art information in this time of ending and beginnings?)... Lets take this Journal as one of the possible approximations, to finally say: Complex Art is the result, conceptually and technically, of "complex aesthetic processes" throughout the 20th century. In fact, its time frame is the late 90s and next early millennia. Naturally born after the inmense waves of Abstractionism(52.I), Abstract Expressionism(53), Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism because all, the pop reality of absurd consumerism and consumerism of vulgarity, the "pure commentary out of content"(54) of minimalism, and vacuity-nothingness of conceptual alienation, as well the degenerated populism of a kitschy miscalled public art of social issues propaganda, reached the point of aesthetic obscenity and obsolescence. In fact, as K.Mainzer in his book "Thinking in Complexity" says: "the principles of complex systems suggest that the physical, social, and mental world is nonlinear and complex. This essential result of epistemology has important consequences for our behavior."... in all orders of our lives including the redefinition of aesthetic systems key to reaching new levels of consciousness in our knowledge of reality. In fact, a complex aesthetics reaches far beyond "the principles of this methodology (which) delivers a heuristic scheme for constructing models of nonlinear systems"...! because complex aesthetics aims to be hypertextual, and both linearity and nonlinearity play an essential role in its context: In fact, trying to reach a new plane of consciousness through complex creativity...a total reality triad-tetrad imagination displayed itself through complexity... just playing ... (the before, the during and the after) of the onset of chaos, appealing to the Poetry of MetaQuantum visions and processes...... Needless to say Metacomplex Hyperaesthetics is not a theoretical body or plenty of magic recipes to make any kind of art, but the acknowledgment of a new rhythmical-arhythmical complex plateau beyond the abstractionist, expressionist, pop, minimal, and conceptual notion-vision of the real. This new hyperaesthetics, fortunately, and coincidentally, has found in complexity consciousness a natural sister-mirror to reflect complex Carnivalesque, polilogical and polyphonic, MetaQuantum new images, intuitions and visions. Consequently it illuminates the last steps of an agonizing art century, and the first insights of a hopefully more humane millennia. FINALLY...AQUARIAN...THE COMPLEX FUTURE HAS ARRIVED!!!.
