NATURAL CONNECTING IMAGE 66 (NCI)

(documentation for a 3D virtual voyage) 

NCI 66 is partially a repetition of NCI 64. NCI 66 emphasizes the use of elements that reflect the simplicity of the Golden Mean = Ø (1 versus 1.618). This plays an important role in clarifying that inner balance means the inclusion of the greys between oppositions like black and white.

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 66 visually demonstrates 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 1.5 kilometer, at an altitude of 744 meters.

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

NCI 66 is an all seasons walking exercise in a natural environment and can also be categorized as a live linear drawing. The trail is made of long curves leading to smaller ones (circles = analysis of the surroundings from every angle). It facilitates movement from small to large (small-medium-large), from curved to almost straight lined 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 with elements that highly reflect Ø (1 versus 1.618), inside a large clearing of light. While walking this natural connecting image, we experience many repetitions of elements that are organized according to the Golden Mean, making this exercise, a highly organized visual natural environment. It also contains exceptional examples of the discovery “transition”. The repetition of exercises like this one, makes it possible for anyone to reach dimensions beyond the five senses, depending on the content of one’s memory bank.

For more information, view the NCIs 61D, 64 and 65. 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 one kilometer exercise ends inside a clearing with maximum light. In NCI 65, the exercise clarifies the importance at including the connecting elements between the oppositions. It is also suggested to visually read the discovery "transition".
