The Metastabilian Movement
The Metastabilian Movement (TMM) is the creative~exploration of “The Squiggle Sense of The Complementary Nature”. TMM was co-founded in 2011 by David Engstrøm and Drazen Pavlovic. The vision, concepts, methods and criticism of this art movement are grounded in the “metastable mode” of brain~mind coordination dynamics. Dynamics is the newer science of coordination pioneered by the eminent neuroscientist J. A. Scott Kelso. Since both awakening and engaging one’s squiggle sense are activities of the metastable mode of their brain~mind coordination dynamics, the term “metastabilian”. The ongoing creation~dissipation’ of functional information, a hallmark of metastability, offers an exciting opening terrain for creativity~discovery. The Metastabilian Movement (TMM) is grounded in the science Coordination Dynamics pioneered by eminent neuroscientist J. A. Scott Kelso, and the philosophy of complementary pairs described in Kelso and Engstrøm's book, "The Complementary Nature" (MIT Press 2006). Metastabilian artists explore, employ an express their works via compelling, valuable new information about the human brain~mind. But TMM isn't only an art movement. Awakening~wielding the squiggle sense is a birthright of metastable~complementary sentience itself, and so is relevant to all field~levels of human interest and endeavor. This awareness~pursuit leads to a vast and mostly uncharted frontier for creativity~inspiration...
