Metamorphosis - Ethics and Aesthetics are One - from a Neuroscientific Perspective

Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one" is the starting point of this research. "In the Notebooks, Wittgenstein states that 'the world and life are one', so perhaps the following can be said. Just as the aesthetic object is the single thing seen as if it were a whole world, so the ethical object, or life, is the multiplicity of the world seen as a single object". (Diané Collinson, The British Journal of Aesthetics, Volume 25, Issue 3, SUMMER 1985, pages 266-272)
Art transcends boundaries of race, nationality and gender. It is a creative act of unifying in the context of humanity, from the subject to the various topics, by asking questions. This point is the lack of "reality" (dealing with reality) from a sociological perspective. However, it is impossible to define humanity and reality based on sociological statistics alone–which is my perspective of Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one". Thereby, I examine 'world and life' from the 21st century perspective.
In other words, my research is on immateriality from a 21st-century perspective in relation to the context of neuroscience—on multifoldness.
I would like to explore the following

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Untitled* is practise-based artistic research, which is the exploration of geometry in drawing, (music, visual arts) notation and sound composition (virtuality) and spatial installation and performance (physicality).
Its spatiality will explore in the context of visual arts and architecture in terms of the cross-disciplinary between Music and visual arts, that is through an intervention between two disciplines of visual arts and music towards architecture (design) methodically.
Artistic research Untitled* is a platform between academics and art academics, and between art academics and society.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Artistic research Urban Hub is focused on materiality and its semiotics and the construct of syntax from cognitive linguistics. The research fields are architecture, visual arts and music.
Research methods are thereby interventional between different disciplines and work in progress.
In doing so, artistic research Urban Hub in cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary between Architecture and Visual arts+Music aims for an innovative creative approach that emerges from the real space.
The research objective is on the topic of "well-being" as a common in design, which addresses Wittgenstein's theoretical exploring ontologically and epistemologically. The research is methodologically interdisciplinary in connection with the perspective of cognitive neuroscience (on the body) transdisciplinary.
The artistic research Urban Hub addresses environmental issues and human coexistence from the aspect of communication in the environment such as in urban space from the aspect of critical theory.
It is an exploration of Barriere-free (for the possibility of communication) spatial aesthetic in urban space "Urban choreography (gesture)" practically, which addresses artistic intervention in public space. Thereby, the artistic intervention in the context of this artistic research Urban Hub aims for the procedure of the natural way of integration.
