“Generator Replicator” @ Hangzhou (2018) by M. Solav

“Style can be your salvation as much as style can be your doom and death. Keep that in mind — that creation has in its essence the act of destruction… or rather, that existence, presence, meaning, wisdom, ‘the soul’, etc. (according to the layer of abstraction and relationality from which you regard things) all stem from this interplay of birth and decay. What have you removed from this repeatedness you call ‘style’ that makes it a pure decision of the mind? Is your art dragging you around by the collar, and down like stone? Have you chained yourself to what little merit you have found in it? How convinced are you of its allure and illusions? Or instead, are you tearing down the chains of inertia with every effort, through each new thought that you’ve allowed to overwhelm and take you over? Yes, to be conquered! To submit to the chaos! That is the very act of growth. Day by day, feel the boundaries of your own making. Push that enveloppe! Let that noise defeat the signal!”
