Giancarlo Schiaffini, 1983, New York

Plexus may be is one of the most complex, one of the most universal, in Plexus we find so many different kinds of performances of art, actions and exhibitions, which is important as a kind of summa of all works since the Living Theatre, Cage, all schools of improviser art.

Plexus as an open artificial artform that offers the opportunity to many people to feel part of a cultural context, without knowing in advance  the full picture of it and their reason for doing it.

You don't 

Know

 

The beauty of Plexus is that we were strong enough to be able to cross all conflicts, beside the fact that we have different origins, the feeling that we have, we were able to do what we had to do without to put in front our confrontations to block all the project and to go together and to move further the project to go on.  There was a mystic force behind us to pass through all the economic difficulties and to answer to the question:  for whom I am doing this?

Arturo Lindsay, 1984, New York

Plexus Black Box has not a defined definition.  It does not work in definition terms.  It is a fluid thought which grows, changes, moves differently for each of us.  It is made to not be framed.  it is a fluid idea, with a lot concerns, it is a radical democracy, it is chaos.

Leonard Horowitz, New York, 1986

What you feel and see is your own creation…

We are called PLEXUS

  I am labelling it: “Mytho-Compressionism”. 

Here, we have compressed history, re-created mythology. 

Time has speed up and there is no time left for aesthetic distance between the artist as performer and the art observer. 

In these simultaneous Plexus Co-Operas we have destroyed this distance, and they in turn interact, creating a new operatic form.  We have extended the compass of vision to include the former observer as participant. 

We are user friendly.  Use us or lose us. 

We are all independent thinkers and dreamers collating our collective visions collaboratively.  

Please experience us wisely and with an open heart.  

This is open ART.

Ray Kelly, 1985 New York

Art is a way of life, it is a way of understanding.  Art is something else from money, and from what bullshit is presented usually. Art is the future which can't be controlled.   It is in the air without wires.  Art is free.  The artists are part of the structure which the power system is trying to push out.  Liquid forms vs. square lines.

        George Chaikin, 1985, New York

The Plexus process is a not linear activity and less rationale, which the coherence appears only after the fact....and you will understand it only after you let yourself participating into it.
George Chaikin, New York 1985

 

Hadamard Matrix Why it is Art
...It’s art because it is recursive. I’ll bet you never heard this one before, but I’m sure you’ve encountered the concept. It means that drawing contains its own reiteration at a different scale – this is fundamental to its algorithm – that it is defined in terms of itself on a different scale...

Kre MBaye, Dakar, 1986

Plexus is a tendency in direction of the universal of the civilization.  It is a way to put together all people, it is a tendency to watch what happens in this planet with a consciousness of what happens, with no separation between the world and the human being. Plexus is not an organization, it is more about a philosophy, a thought, a proposition, a view on how we deal with the issue of the human being. 

  It is a tendency in direction of the unity, against any definitions or classifications which make separations. Without unity, in the respect of the diversity and quality of the human   being, there is not democracy.

We needed greater synthesis efforts in order to define PLEXUS

"ENTROPY"

PLEXUS = kBlnW

PLEXUS as entropy and therefore as information 

Piero della Francesca as vision of Global Human.
