Make ART Great Again - A project supporting art and artists

The Study of the Phenomenon of Emotions

Our research relies on two paradigms of consciousness: the strict logic of cause-and-effect relations and the spontaneous emotional world, beyond calculation.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

- Paul Cézanne (1839 - 1906)

The mechanism of dualism on planet Earth allows a choice that defines the paradigm of existence of the ancient essence, the very core within humans, animals, or other forms of life. In simpler words, we explore how art influences choice of path.

Creative inspiration

Emotion is a spontaneous form of energy arising from the interaction of a reaction to an event or object that determines its vector — destruction or creation, formation or entropy. In art, everything begins with the creation of a work — a painting, a musical score, a novel’s story, or a film script. These four unique tools allow the author to fill an invisible vessel, existing beyond the object, with emotional and intellectual intent. Think of it as a cloud service of additional data, as an allegory.

Inspiration for a work of art can be seen as the attempt to grasp an emotion towards an object or theme. Imaginary or real. A theme filtered through emotions takes form on the canvas, becoming something material that speaks to the viewer in the universal language of feelings.

- Anatoli Gostev (1946-2022)

The emotion created “out of nothing” by the author is a spontaneous phenomenon that triggers a chain reaction, a response inside the viewer, and generates further emotional energy. To illustrate, emotional energy can be viewed as a kind of fuel with a positive or negative octane number. It is precisely this “type of fuel” that shapes the choice and direction of the consciousness’s further path. Continuing the allegory, one might say that we are surrounded by an invisible world of fueling stations.

Sorting Marketing

It is naïve to assume that in a universe more than 13 billion years old not a single civilization has emerged and evolved beyond Homo Sapiens. Simple scaling calculations of the Drake equation suggest the probability of billions of advanced worlds in the universe—surely with different vectors of morality, ethics, and initial paradigms of creation or destruction. This means that the singularity of knowledge has existed in the universe for a long time. It implies the ability to influence the formation of cause-and-effect relationships.

If such a level was once achieved somewhere, then for such an ASI there are no barriers. Accordingly, it can embed itself into the very fabric of the universe and control everything, even our thoughts.

- Anatoli Gostev Jr.

We are not advocates of esotericism or conspiracy theories. Everything has an explanation. Another matter is that we may not know the explanation yet—we observe, we study, we build theories. Among them is the one mentioned in the video about the origin of artificial intelligence (Where did AI come from? An Artistic Theory of Origin | Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut). If this theory is correct, we live in the age of sorting marketing. Love for art is a kind of “insurance” that we help to obtain — insurance against emotional emptiness.

Patronage

We explore artworks for their emotional depth. The materials of artistic creation are connected with the author’s thoughts and emotions at the moment of creation. By popularizing true art and separating it from empty, soulless images, we strive to attune people to the perception of the emotional phenomenon. When planning exhibitions, we carefully select venues and target audiences, seeking an investor for the creation of the art center “ENTAXY”. We support and promote those who feel, think, and live deeply while creating. And we treat with irony PR gestures declaring themselves as art—such as canned sharks or bananas taped to walls—calling such works “exercises around emptiness.”

A painting is a showcase of the artist; anyone can see the showcase, and you may pass by it, but if suddenly you wish, you can stop and enter inside. Inside lies the soul of the artist, and you can understand their message to you.

- Anatoli Gostev (1946–2022)
