I have been reading up on experimental design for biologists and working on a reading repertoire to get caught up on some knowledge before entering this course. Experimental Design for Biologists by David J Glass was recommended to me by one of my scientific advisors. And I’m very glad I am taking the time to read this because it has certainly opened up my mind to how researchers conduct their research! Research itself is very different than artistic practices although artistic practices DO contain some research.

 

The point in the book that I’m at is learning how to build a framework for your research and essentially thinking and that concept has really sunk in especially with my recent strong desires to get really organized. At the moment my framework is LSF (light, sound, form) and identifying its’ existence in the pursuit of proving a special kind of existence. LSF is not a new concept and there have been many researchers before me pursuing various sides of LSF. However, not many of these previous researchers have developed a bit of a framework. It was either for light, sound or form, not for all three.

 

This concept of developing a framework has really stuck with me and made me think about my own research. So far it’s all just been reading about LSF and how art can be applied, but then I thought more about a point/observation I had made several years ago with a colleague of mine. We were talking about the golden ratio and how in many forms in our physical reality contains this number sequence and form. It was peculiar to me because at the same time I had also read a monograph about PI being the intersection of linear and non-linear reality as well as a recent article about ‘golden’ being a reductive word for the word light.

 

Which brought me to the realization/observation that everything in our physical reality is an expression of the golden ratio or light itself and it’s many variations and therefore the investigation of LSF itself. To me LSF transcends the golden ratio, it explains how every physical thing is an expression or an intersection of light. Therefore, my framework would be proving a special kind of existence within the LSF framework in that physical reality is light itself.
