Neocortext
The world organises and shapes itself into a structure where we conceive the visible as a gaze that vanishes if it is not observed. That is why, in the manner of Paul Valéry, we must attempt to assemble and reject that which is observed, merging opposite options which activate the existing dialectic between decisions and indecisions.We furthermore know that in the end our conduct is modified and determined in each choice and that each decision opens up a subjective perception of the world and a new implication from which new choices will be made.
We therefore know for certain that at each moment objects are displaced before us like quietened and dumb beings that conceal themselves from our sight unrecognisably and that only when they speak to us directly do we manage to distinguish them.The insignificant will then be the equivalent to the non-perceived.
Artistic creation implies accepting the application of a perma- nent system of decisions.A belonging to a body of elective affinities which end up forming that which we call subject.
A process of recognition where what we are depends on a complex specular system which guides us as much as it confuses us and perhaps this is why the idea of perception is used here
in a broader sense than visual perception, as it is directed at an understanding of reality which incorporates both the objective information and involuntary images or unconscious thoughts.
Neocortext uses theory as an artistic practice capable of creating a second vision which contains the constructive and visual imagi- nary that underlies every decision.
