review of "Incubation Chamber"

Fri Feb 25, 2005, 2:47 PM
My friend Siobhan posted a lovely interperetation of the Incubation chamber series on my livejournal:

I think the order in which you posted them is the "appropriate" color progression. The fractal itself makes me think of traveling down some biological pathway. To me, the order of the colors symbolizes the road to enlightment, from dark to light, ignorance to wisdom. It's similar to Plato's Allegory of the Cave - the prisoner chained to the wall makes a series of realizations that lead him to the full glory of the sun. Socrates via Plato talked a lot about different levels of knowledge. The blue in the final fractal can loop into the dark blue, signifying the rise to the top of each individual area of knowledge. I don't think I really mean to use the word knowledge, but my vocabulary is failing me and I don't currently know where my copy of the Symposium is. I have no idea how to tie enlightenment in with biology in a way that really makes sense. Darwin, I don't know. Maybe the Age of Enlightenment with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the rise of Deism. The endless loop of colors blending in to each other could represent the logic of Deism, that the universe is kind of like a perpetual motion machine set by God. I'll just leave it alone, because it doesn't even makes sense in my head, let alone outside of it.
I keep getting new ideas every time I'm about to hit "post comment." Reincarnation?

Carried away by the translucence of my world
I got lost in the search for enlightment
the blue rain
covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.
