Statement

Always a student of consciousness, transpersonalism and the integral nature of all things, Brant has been on a lifelong quest to understand and express the Unity underlying all things. A Buddhist monk in his early 20s, Brant is a Scientist and NonDual Futurist with classical training in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and a MA MFTi in Psychology. In addition, he holds two undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Psychology and wrote a 100+ page thesis on the nature and origins of human consciousness. Artist, Writer, Poet, and Entrepreneur, Brant is currently pursuing the structure, mechanisms, and dynamics of the models presented, while writing a book on the more practical applications of this thesis to everyday life.

This is a conversation of Unity, between the arc and the angle, the circle and the square, space and form. Geometrically, this pattern is a nested array of embedded polygons whose edges define a set of increasingly concentric spheres through polar reciprocity. Additionally, there is a dimension reversing interaction between the levels of these spheres that have interesting physical and metaphoric properties when expressed in form as generalized n-dimensional dual polytopes. Physically, the subsets of the concentric spheres tessellate layer by layer in the form of a octa-flexahedron which ultimately forms a toroidal field both between and within the spheres influence.

During an interview, a reporter asked Thomas Edison, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" To which Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” This is one of the base layers of the 500+ prints it took to understand the variables needed to print the MetaPixel correctly. Embracing perfection within imperfection, I share one of the many rejects, one of the many steps along the road to expressing its fullest form. The MetaPixel is a systems theory narrative written in a codex of geometric form. Showing how multiple parts coalesce within a closed loop system and find balance between the emergent edges of their form, both inside and outside another and within the larger whole.
