Calculated Chaos
Through form and color, our cyborg creates the transitional flux of ORDER AND CHAOS. Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic triangle scheme is used as the base of our model and we use our own set of grids to inform the evolution and chaotic transition from this originally ordered form. Our cyborg is to be looked at from both sides at once. One from the order and from the chaos, yet both people meet in the middle and are made equal despite them having different views points. Through the chaos we created, we emphasize the foolishness that mathematic equations could somehow describe the expression and art form that we created ourselves. Thus we use the chaos math equations as merely texture on our cyborg. We also created a completely a completely false justification for our cyborg prosthetic by including a 7 page explanation of real equations with absolutely no coherent meaning or logic. We satirize the concept of mathematics in our cyborg by overcomplicating and overusing the equations. What is created by our cyborg is 2 opposite yet intertwined feelings of anarchy and harmony that meet in the middle and allow two people with originally differing view points to see each other heart to heart, mind to mind, and eye to eye.
