Ideology of recycling

 
To recycle | recycling
 
Recycling is a postmodern, political correct hype.
I recycle, you recycle, we recycle, they recycle.
 
We recycle.
We recycle as us is told.
We recycle paper, plastic, glass, … you name it.
We recycle papers, ideas, … everything.
 
A continuous process of recycling without input of new elements,
leads to degeneration of the product.
This means less quality, less sustainability and
eventually a quicker recycling process.
 
We recycle as addicts.
We recycle towards our death.
We recycle our ideas and the ideas of others.
We recycle history and old ideologies.
 
A continuous process of recycling without input of original thoughts,
leads to a degeneration of philosophical-social thinking.
This means less quality, less sustainability and
eventually a quicker recycling process.
 
Nil novi sub sole.
Is there really nothing new under the sun?
Before history has been recycled, it repeats itself.
So why (not) recycle it?
 
 
The context changes over and over again.
The size of scale changes, it becomes bigger and more global everyday.
 
Technology changes: it becomes more refined and exact.
New technological invention come in a fast tempo.
Technological progress promise us a better life for everyone.
 
Ideologies or philosophical theories become simplier and more compact.
New trends and hypes come in a fast tempo.
Ideological / Philosophical renewal isn’t on the daily agenda; recycling rules the ideological and philosophical thinking.
The ideology of recycling keeps on announcing the change for the better … for everyone or for the happy few?
 
And the art?
Art is there for everyone, at least in words … isn’t it?
Art is here today especially in – questioning – words … isn’t it?
 
Art has to deal with questions;
Art may give answers;
But for sure, with images, forms, visual impulses, … for everyone who’s is not (yet) ideological bound!
 
 
 

Recycling ideologies

 
The artworks on this site refer to the idea of recycling.
 
They all question the recycling of ideologies and deal with the ideology of recycling.
Some artworks give answers.
Others create a possible new way of thinking.
 
 
 

Inter- and Transdisciplinarity

 
This is a site on contempory visual art, created and supported by artists who share the same starting-points and the same challenges towards the futur.
In that queste there can be no taboos or frontiers, not in content, not in the use of (raw) material, nor between disciplines.
