Our Mission..

Complexity theory is not new to art or to our culture. It migrated from computer science and biology to economics and art and, with the advent of the world wide web, it invaded our collective subconscious. Analogous seeks to support complexity-driven art and artists playing under this conceptual umbrella of "Interaction Art". Progress occurs by metaphor and analogy: Their hope is (by bringing together people and projects irrespective of media and genre) to enable philosophical crosstalk.

Complexity theory centers around the concept of emergence, which refers to the observation that individuals acting within a shared context will create something greater than the sum of its parts. Since this principle explains the richness of biology -- from molecule to ecology -- it is able to lend an organic nature to highly-technical projects and to guide the logistics of elaborate social experiments.

We believe an emergence-based perspective can serve as both (1) a catalyst for new and progressive works, and as (2) a way to view existing works and practices from a new light.

Our objectives:
(1) to support artist-led, complexity-driven projects technically, financially, and administratively.
(2) to support a cross-genre community of artists and philosophers, in order to facilitate new works and novel collaborations.
