Blue Snowflakes, Mythical Codes

from $300.00

Mythical Codes, explores relationships between optical illusion, contemporary representation of folkloric lithuanian symbology and the evocation of a neuroscientific meditative state.   Augius investigates these cultural patterns and their perception to create visual stimulus based on the neuroscience of eye and brain activity.  The positive and negative space of the patterns draws the eye from one part to the other giving information for the brain to complete the pattern.  This process stimulates the brain’s alpha waves as the brain tries to perceive an image in totality, creating a sensation of rhythmic activity.  Belief in art as a source of meditation and wellness, Augius revels in the fact that these images stimulate brain waves that are present during human states of conscious deep relaxation as in meditation.

These folkloric patterns have roots in ancient Indian Vedic mythology (2500 BC) as well as historical transcontinental influence perhaps through the trade routes to be found in South America during pre-Columbian times (before 1492).  This historical significance brings an element of magic as visually appealing patterns traveled through the ages from one culture to another as people may have sought out visual sources from each other that stimulated states of deep relaxation.

Representation of these images in a contemporary fashion brings light to preserving cultural roots in modern times.

Blue Snowflake is a representation of lithuanian culture and traditional ornaments made from straw and string that look like snowflakes. They are usually hung on Christmas trees in wintertime as a celebratory decorative adornment. This representation would be the cutting and measuring of each individual piece of straw that is glued together in small formations and then either glued or strung together to create a larger formation of a snowflake.
