The artists developed the idea of Frequency looking into their own personal experiences. Their artistic approach is based on the view that a special frequency and special energy move through all living things -a life energy that is the creative impetus for the universe, for all matter, and for their artistic inspiration. This energy moves in pulsating rhythms that take form through shapes, colours, time and space. It is a manifestation of phases of growth, the tidal rhythms of breath, the drumbeat of the heart, and the vibratory dance of the smallest particles inside each cell.
For years our consciousness has been pervaded with notions of quantum leaps, a new age, energy, law of attraction and other phenomena. It is certain that we live in an Age of Information which is evolving into a new era: that of Intuition. The new era will develop the perceptions of the individual and the as yet unexplored potential of the mind. It is, however, difficult to describe one’s own time as it is being lived: one is simply in the middle of it. However, the tendency of art and science to dominate vital energy characterizes contemporary living. To speak about frequency and energy in a creative context means to measure oneself relative to the mystery of the birth of ideas and inspiration. Frequencies are invisible vibrations which awaken our senses. Artists are privileged in that they work on antistatic energy, in free diffusion, revealing the need for truth particular to communication and expressive thinking. Some frequencies then translate aesthetically, giving light and body to these energies. They expand to transmit to others the energetic charge they temporarily hold. Thoughts have frequencies, they become things, matter. By means of art and the creative process, we can tune in and recognize our true nature as evolved sensibility. Art is the fertile ground for concretely expressing ultra-sensory perceptions. One could hypothesize a reading of the history of art by means of the physical and psychic forces which produced it; a reading not so much tied to symbolic meanings, to subject, to culture, to time, to language, rather to the vibrations which such works of art transmit to the spectator. To do this our senses should be more conditioned by sensitivity and less by rationality. Frequencies and energies concerning the work of art belong to the order of feeling. Tuning in to this dimension can change the aesthetics of life. It is a matter of seeing things for the first time, of cleaning the slate of previous learning. Many artists have dedicated their research to exploring energies circulating between microcosm and macrocosm. The fact that artists, in order to express themselves, use new visual codes is of little importance for aesthetic-energetic communication. Over time, artists have refined the web of knowledge and intuition by means of their own psychic power to receive and transmit force, thus bringing to the surface the extraordinary order of the universe: in this sense, art can cure, that is, raise the levels of awareness. In order to be able to benefit from its power, it is, however, necessary to clean our channels of perception. The rules of nature and art come together to create an order of visual hygiene. The new human beings are the ones who project themselves beyond the limits of the known world, are aware of the energies they move and do not act like robots programmed by memories, by the past. The field of energy is the vehicle by means of which the creative process takes place: through this our new material world, events and experiences are made. Creative forces have different dimensions and they express themselves via frequencies which are revealed in the physical field. There is then a basic structure upon which rests the reality of matter. It is the dimension of the universal field. Every living creature is first formed at the level of energy. Rhythmic frequencies of the brain may be observed in the laboratory, whereas it is more difficult to be aware of what we emanate and receive on a personal level. This awareness would permit us to be present and awake, co-creators of our experiences. How lovely it would be if we could press a switch as we do when we change a TV channel! We would be in control of our fate, no longer victims of bombardment of thoughts and would have immediate access to the never ending well of creation. What can be said, on the other hand, of excess stimulus, excess impulses, abuse of frequencies and “bad frequency”? Cell phones, internet, TV, every sort of technological devilry invades our houses, submerging them with electromagnetic waves, disturbing our sleep with unknown and questionable effect. In this vibrational quagmire, apparently harmless, we move as in an invisible jungle. Throughout our breath faithfully follows us, it draws the rhythm of our life.
