Abstract Books

“In 2018, Linarejos Moreno, a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, held a solo exhibition titled Cloud Chamber, in which she brought together the genius of abstraction with a nuclear physics experiment designed to reveal the decay of subatomic particles. The year 1911 marks both the birth of abstraction in art, through Wassily Kandinsky’s foundational work, and the invention of the cloud chamber by C.T.R. Wilson, which enabled the first visual observations of cosmic rays. Both figures were concerned with the traceability of points and lines on a plane, an investigation that directly inspired
Kandinsky’s second major theoretical work, Point and Line to Plane. This unexpected encounter, which subtly suggests that the foundation of reality may not align with the constructs of an abstracted universe distanced from nature, offers a glimpse into the dynamic interplay between mythos and logos.
The guiding axiom of our journey under the manifesto of Science and Poetry is the desire to envision new frontiers where the dervishes who wander at the boundaries of Nature and the scientists of our age converge within the cosmic pattern.

The irrational ratios of Nature
are a manifesto of the geometry of reality.
This manifesto is no less significant for the miraculous concord it establishes with poetic narration, the very instrument by which we convey feeling and thought.
