On the World Wall
The World Wall is message of hope, a
wake up call to action for those who cherish the unbridled fury of the
human spirit and the hope of all people for a future without
fear.
The World Wall is art that you enter, contemplate with a quiet
ferocity, are affected by, and ultimately blown back into reality with
a mission on your mind. The Wall reminds us that if we are not
outraged by what is being done to us, we are not paying attention.
The World Wall is a metaphor for the human evolution in seeing and
acting that is required to transcend linear thinking and head off the
downward spiral into cultural collapse. Like our future, the
World Wall is not possible without a deep collaboration between
worldviews. The Wall itself is a contradiction—how do we maintain
individual artistic expression while blending the creative input of
several artists so that the result is a harmonious whole? The
World Wall embraces this dilemma; the balancing of spirits, the melding
of artistic expression. It is a reconciliation of fears between
many factions usually opposed, now collaborating. It is not
complete as a work of art without its separate components in place,
each piece linked and interdependent upon the rest. But once
complete, it trumps the whole because the Wall is synergistic—that is,
the whole transcends the sum of the parts like a symphony rising out of
the efforts of individual instruments.
The formal nature of the world’s dilemma is the danger of a linear mode
of thought as a guide to action in systems which are inherently
circular. The circular installation is a break with linear
thinking, with the two dimensional expression of painted
canvasses. The World Wall pushes us away from the linear
structure of single purposeful action into the circularity we see in
organic and social systems which blur the distinction between cause and
effect. It is not meditative, it is transformative. It
suggests to us that our simple linear notions of causality, which lead
us to think of actors, the objects upon which they act, and the
transformation of these, be replaced by a circular notion of cause and
effect.
