Bioism: new living art forms CreativeMindClass Blog - The CreativeMindClass Blog

"I was born in the Soviet Union in what is now Ukraine. I enjoyed drawing when I was young; I also received a couple of prizes. In high school, I decided to go on to study economics. But, I wasn't content with the prospect of an all-day job working in an uninteresting, dusty workplace. It was then that I decided to look the art field with a more serious approach, which eventually brought me to classes with Konrad Klapheck at the Art Academy of Dusseldorf. After that, I moved on to be a student of Shirin Neshat in Salzburg."

"Making art for me is a crucial process for making impossible and imaginative worlds.

Aliens-like visuals, mystical forms and feelings - that is the things I am drawn to and reflect on. Naturally, in my younger days, just like everybody else began to explore all of the things around me. However, I eventually became dissatisfied with interpreting the most well-known facts about images.

The urge to produce any deviation imaginable, and to create artefacts which are unknown by me has inspired me to make completely different universes."

What would you say about your art style?

"Bioism. Biofuturism. Paradise Engineering. Bioethical Abolitionism. My day-to-day reflection and message is:

Biofuturism also known as Bioism is an endeavor to create living organisms as well as new aesthetics for the future of living things. Bioism is a method to design art-related objects that express visual possibilities of biological synthetic processes. Bioism is a method to create art that is based on vitality, multiplicity and complexity. Every work is a living object. Bioism breathes life into dead subjects.

Personally, I'm convinced that in the near future in the wake of a biological revolution we'll use living furniture as well as live-in residences and travel across space using living spaces. One of the most intriguing aspects will be the capability for artists to create living materials, and thus create new forms of life. Expression through art will give the tangible sensation of having been born. Fantastical might be reactions from art objects with their creators as well as the environment. Art museums in the future could be transformed into zoological parks, galleries into the new biodiversity fund, and art galleries into Biology labs.

Bioism seeks to create new and infinite varieties of life in the globe. Paradise engineering marks a leap forward in Bioethics ...

This manifesto, as I view it, could never be completed, since I am myself a biological process, which is currently studying the subject."

What's the main thing to consider when the design of your project?

"I attempt to steer clear of the use of primitive geometrics, like no straight lines or lack of lines when it's feasible. I'm trying to find the collision between the Micro and the macro a regular basis.

Any thing that is not easily understood or very complex will be immediately perceived by the human eye as organic or living. Biology is the most complex and most complex structure of information on our planet."

The church is an official place. Is it stressful to create the atmosphere in a church?

"It is based on your own inner convictions, beliefs, and fears or the level of doubt that you feel about your connection to the world of humankind. Personally, I've got none information concerning the idea of time, space as well as all the wonders of space. Therefore, when I attend the church, I'm like a curious child in a large and strange play space that is a part of some kind of communication purpose.

I strive to be considerate to its art, but I don't overlook its fun side, the part about conversing with god. It's similar to the XXL phone booth where you can talk in a quiet room and are also able to smile."

How much are you responsible for the process of creation and how much of the creation process involves bioism?

"Controlling chaos can be an overwhelming task. My inner ear and eye are always searching for a song that is not heard before and to discover a fresh form that appeals to me and captivate my imagination. It's not just a complete process where you function as a mining machine, searching for fascinating gems, and throwing a lot of boring possibilities on your rear. For me, it's not the best concept.

My interests often blend with the other possibilities order to create not just an enjoyable music but also a wildly unexpected one as well. The most satisfying aspects of this job is creating a brand new world in the same way you're imagining what it should appear to be. There are times when you're caught lost in your imagination; other times you'll be dreaming at night when you're asleep. But the truth is that - the more I make my own world, the more joys I am able to experience. Chaos can become my friend in the midst of growing bioism."

Are you an artist who enjoys it or find something other than enjoyment from it? Like mediation, or reaching out to the vulnerable part of you?

"Drawing time is contemplation time. Furthermore, I draw as I discover myself and see the extent to which I can be amazed by myself and the ways in which my universe can amaze me. This takes into account every possible activity in this enigmatic path. Sometimes, humor can be funny for sure, but occasionally, when I'm craving extra adrenaline, I head to the outside world to create some kind of action."

How did you get to becoming a bioist? What were you experimenting with prior to it?

"The first steps were rather normal: I remember how happy I was about my half-drawing-half-painting of the tractor in the field for which I was praised in kindergarten.

Then I was enthralled with drawing landscapes, which means I was able to lay on the grass for extended durations of time and try to capture the movements of nature onto the paper. In the end I sketched a few portraits. But, I was very unhappy and bored by the immatureness of human faces being reproduced (including videos and photos) which I stopped. In that moment, the shell of my egg was broken and I emerged like the phoenix (or Godzilla). This means I was closer to the secret of living. What does that mean? It's not to explain the existing one, but to compose a new one. This was the day I began my journey of my bioethics and bioism."

While browsing your IG I had a thought that Bioism might be interested in the issue of homelessness in LA...

"But the opposite was true. account. It was cold in the streets and lonely people were content at ease by the touch of humans, and to be able to hear the Christmas tale of the newborn bioism and to play with the tiny blue creatures of the story.

The deplorable conditions on the shores of Hollywood might prompt me to consider taking a completely different route for me. I need to consider the philosophical aspects of bioism as portrayed in a novel Diogenes of Venice."
