About The Group
We are a guild of
artificers, a fusion of craftsman and artisan as one.
”Out of research and inner connection a bridge can be made
between rational scientific insight and emotional and aesthetic appeal;
these two modes of cognition of the human species are beginning to
concur in their estimation of what constitutes nature. Even more:
science and aesthetics are in agreement about what is actually missing
in technical objects as compared to natural objects: is the luxury of
the appropriate portion of irregularity, disorder, and
unpredictability. This insight could help us in a very basic away to
give technology, on which we are more and more dependent for survival,
a humane face”. [Professor Gert Eilenberger 1986, Freedom,
Science, and Aesthetics, The Beauty of Fractals by H.-O.
Peitgen, P.H.Richter]
Philosphy
We, the Guild Members, hold in honour the ‘THEORY OF
ART’ of the ’late Dr. George Robert Cockburn (Royal
Fellow of Medicine, London). His work was given credence by Benard
Bolzano’s 18th Century Theory of Science. As a correction to
Immanuel Kant’s Aesthetics’, the science became an
‘Art Appreciation Theory’. Reviews of
Bolzano’s ‘Infinite Universe Theory’ of
science extrapolated his logic into the realm of modern holographic
quantum biology.
