Description
Singularity
Oil on Canvas
Carey Thompson

Interspersed throughout the universe are billions of galaxies each containing within them a point of concrescence drawing in energy and matter towards its center. So much energy is drawn in that the gravitational field approaches infinity where nothing, including light, can escape. When this occurs, a singularity is formed where all of our known science breaks down and is unable in any way to accurately describe it. In a similar fashion, humankind is in a trajectory towards some event horizon in our near future where our understanding of reality cannot see beyond. This path includes many coinciding events, including a technological singularity where accelerating advances in nanotechnology, computer technology, and molecular biotechnology continue to feedback propelling humankind exponentially into an era inconceivable to the human mind. This temporal attractor is creating an acceleration of the sciences as well as in other areas more spiritual. A global culture is emerging based on harmonious existence, awareness of time cycles, and interconnectivity to the entire web of creation. Despite the resistance by the controlling regimes, this culture continues to grow like a mycelial network rooting its strength with tools such as permaculture, expressive arts, and cybernetic communications. As we approach the steepening curve of novelty, we can peer back towards our past and see that this is not the first and only time. Remnants of our ancient past reveal evidence of a global civilization united in mind and spirit. Spanning the continents we can see similarities in the architecture, art, costume, language, and cosmology of several civilizations perhaps rooted by even earlier civilizations. Technologies such as those used to construct the pyramids, those used to create the crystal skulls, or those used to track the precession of the equinoxes had been lost for millennia. Through careful analysis of the archeological record, we can start to understand the ebb and flow of consciousness and technology and begin to prepare ourselves fro the upcoming changes. This painting was designed to catalyze an awareness of these past and future events in order to attune the viewer with the present and ease the transition into the singularity.
