Communication determines quality.
If we think of contemporary stone sculpture from an exclusively formal and symbolic point of view, it appears – compared to the artistic experiences of the past – as a dead language, archaic and devoid of expressive potential. Yet if we consider matter more carefully, from the point of view of modern science, we discover that our understanding of it is limited by the context in which it is observed, and by us as observers.
It is now well-established that matter, in its infinitesimal intimacy, while being constituted by miniscule and indestructible particles, is really a continuous exchange of information, a field of interactions incorporating an immeasurable energy. By changing our point of view, we realize that all things are interrelated, and in continuous communication and transformation. We can apply this reasoning to other aspects of our system as well, such as the social, economic, and environmental. Our knowledge, our identity, our bodies, our environment are determined by communication. Keeping this awareness alive qualifies our existence.
