THE ERGONOMICS OF SYMBOLS. ART META-LANGUAGES BETWEEN HARMONY AND DISHARMONY

Abstract

If art represents, at individual level, the retrieving and acquiring of a set of operative values, then personal affinity for a principle or set of values is inferred as the result of individual-phenotype interaction, the sum of external influences working together synergistically. The tropism and affinity towards moral or decadent values define the degree of individual spectrum as a generating source of harmonic creations or, on the contrary, of decaying, grotesque, obscene occurrences, all under the auspices of disharmony.
