PREFACE

The tenth book in Marcus Vitruvius’s De Architectura Libri Decem is on mechanical engineering. This particular part of the manuscript was greatly expanded during Renaissance to include inventions such as tanks, catapults and other siege weapons used for warfare. Leonardo da Vinci being a biomechanic, applied combination of natural science and mechanical engineering to unveil mystery of life.

This will expand “sense of presence” beyond our physical limitations and alter relationship to environment; time, distance, space and more. Advancement in Human Machine Interface will have discerning impact on psychology of individual, social organization and over all context among we live in. However EX-PROSTHESIS is not to be confused with inventive endeavor, it is a Techno parody, satire that makes deliberate but explicit attempt to evoke critical insight into broader consequence of technology.

In EX-PROSTHESIS, technological intervention leads to unexpected event with ironic twist for the protagonist = humanity. Apparent disconnection between intent and consequence expose uncertainty of using these technology but classical philosophy has limited capacity to decipher unintended event. Encounter with absurdity of phenomenon can only be mitigated existentially. EX-PROSTHESIS is eye for an eye strategy for combating absurd. Fictitious juxtaposition between nature and machine, displaced time and location or exaggerated social oblique in narratives are designed to create suspended state VM�KPZILSPLM�^OLYL�ZJPLU[PÄJ��WVSP[PJHS��LJVUVTPJHS��HUK�LU]PYVUTLU[HS�PZZ\LZ�to converge creatively and produce introspective assessment of our desire to KLWSV`�[OLZL�[LJOUVSVNPLZ�HUK�P[Z�Z\IZLX\LU[�LɈLJ[�

Yet, our overly rationalized ZVJPL[`�WSLKNLZ�[V�[OL�PKLH�[OH[�HK]HUJLTLU[�PU�[LJOUVSVN`�^PSS�IL�MVY�V\Y�ILULÄ[��and discounts negative consequence of deployment.

Indeed excessive industrialization is causing inhuman despair and misery in global scale, yet we are unable to refrain our temptation to continue on this fatalistic path. Lack of our self regulating ability against harmful consequences of excessive mechanization is a symptoms of our co-dependency to technology. Rationalization, empiricism, science, reason, are fueled by our desperate desire to control “unpredictable” in hope that outcome of action will mirror our perception of what we think it should be. In an other words logic is a predetermined assumption that exclude improbable/unintended thus unable to embrace complexity and dynamics of phenomenon.

Artistic production promotes deviation from this dilemma and divest into creative enterprise instead. Aleatory art use chance to promote creativity and rejects JVTWSPHUJL�[V�WYL�KL[LYTLU[��(\[VTH[PZT�MVY�KYH^PUN��+LJHSJVTHUPH�MVY�graphics, Collage and Frontage for paintings do exactly that.

This process improves and advances intellectual content of our mental construction. The process will be complete when oscillation among two hemispheres of our cerebrum converges and achieve dynamic interaction between intelligence and creativity making whole from the parts.
