Philosophical?? Reflections on Consciousness and Time {Conceptual Art}
There is a part of me that finds it difficult to create the future.
So, I suddenly thought that it might be easier if I recalled the past and imagined the future as a balance against it.
I thought that might be easier.
I suddenly thought so.
If it is the past 50 years, then the future 50 years; if it is the past 30 years, then the future 30 years—I suddenly thought that by making them proportional, I might be able to create.
I suddenly thought so.
At this time, the image is that the future and the past reflect each other and are in a circular relationship.
And this diagram is also a way of understanding that there is a future and a past, and the present is the fleeting moment between them.
In contrast to this, the following is a diagram when we perceive that there is only the present, that only the present continues to exist.
In this case, I thought that the present might be about what is here now (existence) and doing what can be done now (action).
And when I thought about this action and existence in the past and future, I thought there might also be desire, while creating the following diagram.
As mentioned above, within the past, present, and future, I thought that by dividing them into six categories—things you want to do/wanted to do, things you do/did, and things that will exist/existed—based on desire, matter (existence), and action, and by balancing them to think about your own future and past, you might be able to achieve a balanced present life.
In other words, I thought that by balancing the weight of the past and the future, consciousness might stabilize in the present at the center.
Human consciousness is constrained to the reality of the present in terms of material reality, but it seems there are parts of human consciousness that can dwell in the past by being fixated on it, or focus consciousness on the future and feel something there.
(Temporal movement or shift of consciousness focus)
What I mean by this is that while time is contained within the width of the present in the material present, I feel that the human spirit and mind have the inherent width (elasticity) to extend consciousness beyond that present into both the past and the future.
I think this has both good and bad points, though...
The above diagram is one that combines the image of general diagrams regarding the subconscious and unconscious with the variability of consciousness on the time axis of past and future.
Is the image that as you go down, it becomes a zone that overlaps with the collective unconscious, and while the material time at the top is the fleeting now, the bottom becomes eternal in terms of time?
I have been thinking about things like this recently.
This was conceptual art about consciousness, time, and so on.
I would be happy if there is anything here that you find helpful.
Thank you!
