IO ART
Daimon, by Io
“Non-objective art draws its contents essentially from “inside.” This “inside” cannot correspond to consciousness, since consciousness contains images of objects as they are generally seen, and whose appearance must therefore necessarily conform to general expectations…. Behind consciousness there lies not the absolute void but the unconscious psyche, which affects consciousness from behind and from inside, just as much as the outer world affects it from in front and from outside.” ~Carl Jung, CW 15, P. 206
But we spend our free time listening to the wireless and rushing off to the cinema. Yet much of our western neurosis comes from the fact that we do not find enough time for ourselves; it would be wiser to meditate and seek the Void when we need rest, than to run after outer distraction. ~Carl Jung, ETH Lectures, Page 128.
"...the function of art is to provide a sense of existence, not the insurance of some meaning; so those who need an insurance of meaning, who do not feel confident about themselves or who remain upset when they know that the system Of meanings that supported them in life has shattered, they must certainly be those who have not yet tried, with intensity, with continuity or sufficiently convincing, that sense of existence, spontaneous and voluntary rise, which is the first and more Deep characteristic of being and which is the responsibility of the art of awakening. What is the meaning of a flower? And not having it, then, would the flower not exist? " --Joseph Campbell, The Flight of the Wild Gander. Explorations in the mythological dimension (Mia Traduzione)
