Inner School of Open Studies is a non-linear and hermetic art project committed to merging synthetic approaches in knowledge processing: language, calculation, and drawing. Together, these methods help us think, dream, and interact across time and space.
Cycles Introduction
About Drawing
The process of thinking can begin with a pencil. Whether aiming for precise mark-making or seeking pure visual beauty, drawing becomes a way to document lived experience, glimpse a fleeting thought, or hold emotion in place. Intimate, expressive, naive, or raw — drawing is the underlying structure of the image.
Toward Explanation
A cycle of works shown on chalkboards, blueprints, various pages, poster-sized rolls of paper, smaller cards, or the rooms. Surfaces, covered with cursive notes, hurried handwriting, indecipherable formulas and signatures, schematic sketches, maps, and graphs — all merging to reveal a pattern of layered system.
On Calculation
The series draws inspiration from the evolving relationship between humans and computing machines. Hardware components, motherboard architectures, interface systems, and speculative technologies appear as screenshots, patent documents, and physical prototypes.
