Abstract 

 

On ‘R’ - intermediate ‘R’ and the collective as a unit

 

Erika Matsunami

 


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. But it is impossible to define humanity and reality based on sociological statistics alone–is my perspective of Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one". Thereby, I examine 'world and life' from the 21st century perspective.

In current artistic research Metamorphosis - Ethics and Aesthetics are One - from a Neuroscientific Perspective II (2025), I am exploring two types of communication "near and far", on-site community and long-distance community. Here, I refer not to community, which is a social function, but to methodologically about the intermediate 'R' between social and meta-knowledge and its notion of the collective as a unit. - on ‘R’

Thus, I challenge myself to deal with Mental Imaginary (Bence Nanay, 2023,OUP) Ch. III. Multimodal Perception and IV. Cognition in the context of a Neuroscientific Perspective.

On 'R'

 

I explore contemporary art, which I found potential new art in the 21st century.

Immaterility involves 'darkness' as well.

An example in our society in the 21st century

I - 'R'(AI*) - You
