NATURAL CONNECTING IMAGE 65 (NCI)

(documentation for a 3D virtual voyage) 

NCI 65 played an important role in further clarifying the importance to include the connecting elements between the OPPOSITIONS. Inner balance means the oppositions with the MIDDLE.

In the natural world, connectors are PROVIDED to facilitate the passage between the different elements (forms, color, light, shade...). The ease of movement from one form to another is so subtle that we are unaware of it, unless we spend a great amount of time surrounded by unified sensory information. NCI 65 is meant to visually demonstrate how natural forms complement one another. The vegetation in this area consists of a combination of shrubs and trees (opacity = conifers, transparence = birches/cottonwood…), height approximately 20-25m. Please refer to the photographs. The trail’s total length is approximately one kilometer, at an altitude of 744 meters.

Some of its purposes are to extrapolate the basic visual organization of an almost untouched natural environment and use it as an example for future virtual 3D voyages. It can provide access to unified sensory information for those who are surrounded by broken sensory information.

NCI 65 is an all seasons walking exercise in a natural environment and can be categorized as a live 3 D linear drawing. The trail is made of long curves leading to smaller ones (ellipses, circles and a symbol of infinity = analysis of the surroundings from every angle). It facilitates movement from small to large (small-medium-large), from curved to almost straight lines trees, from transparent to opaque trees, and includes six transitions of reduced light (areas with a lot of opaque trees) to medium and maximum light (areas with small trees or shrubs and transparent trees). It ends as a circle inside a clearing of light with some trees. . Making this exercise, a highly organized visual natural environment. While walking this natural connecting image, and in particular the exercise at the end - exceptional examples of the discovery transition- it is possible to reach dimensions beyond the five senses, depending on the content of one’s memory bank.

For more information, view the natural connecting image 61D and 64. In NCI 61D, the preparation to move from reduced light (shade in section 2) to maximum light (small lake = large clearing) is 3.4 kilometers. In transition 4-61, the opposition Large-Small, is less 100m. In NCI 64, the exercise was conceived to end inside a clearing with maximum light, etc. It is also suggested to visually read the discovery "transition".

Theory: NATURE PROVIDES A VISUAL BLUEPRINT OF THE HUMAN MIND.
