The Space Between

life 3.0

in a perception skied inside
trapezoidal and spherical figures set 
to a grid that shares these newly designed creatures 
of natural development with properties of technics—
insects and birds fluttering titanium
wings toward fertile evolvement
with nuclear fusion sunflowers
shades of dead trees
neon pinks and blues like holograms
incepted by other gods
a motherboard stag
shuttering its antlers like transmission towers
 
twenty-third century nature is electric-powered
a spaceship between galaxies
 
the world is split in two
paradoxical systems
one asking what is real
the other what is natural
both answers simultaneously
with determination
in their responses
there is one overlapping layer
that concludes itself once
everything has determined
its validity within existence
what that conclusion is
goes beyond individually subjective processes
though each of them decides nonetheless
and while they aren’t wrong
(given such a thing like right or 
wrong could exist)
interpreting their own vertices of truth
and parallels to all things
it’s never the entire story
 
the complexity is as simple as
it is vague
but
within the individual lies an
alternate reality that is 
carried within it eternally
but only realized in the moment
it is awakened
and thus 
as it appears
it devolves and shutters
 
the processes are unique and
everchanging
as are the myriad stages
they uphold
like flame to water
as if neither element knew 
it was an essential building block
in this creation
 
the glue that separates
everything is infinitely bonded
technology is spiritual
a most unorthodox
endeavor
so close we are to the mechanics
of reproduction
we can taste the battery
acid like nasal drip
so godlike
so pervasive
how close we are yet
in the same demand
driven by the doomsday clock
and apoplecticism
who will win first
 
—simultaneously—
 
on my walk
through this latticed
forest i notice
life will continue
always
and our presence amongst
this network is both a gift
and a wild accident
as are all things
and as all things
must come to be
they must come to be again
like a great memory
of a time unveiled
when you knew what it 
meant to be alive

Android Jones

https://androidjones.com

Lyons, Colorado-born Independent Artist Android Jones began studying art at age 8.  He attended the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota FL, where he trained in traditional academic drawing/painting and animation. Jones interned at George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic and later founded Massive Black, an art development company based in LA.  Android began his career as an Independent Artist in 2005. He now lives in his home town of Lyons, maintaining a large art studio in a repurposed barn.

Best described as a “digital painter,” Jones has created an immense body of work. He has become well known for his many layered, psychedelic works and live performances using a custom built digital set up. He participated in the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Tour and his work has been projected on the Sydney Opera House and the Empire State Building. A long time member of the Burning Man community, Android has traveled the world exhibiting his work and has contributed to events on 6 continents.

At the center of Jones’ work are spirituality and altered states of consciousness. Describing his work as Electro-Mineralism, Jones attributes his ability to create to the wonders of technology, crediting the planet’s resources for advancements in art production. Manipulating light and energy, Android Jones captures complex concepts while utilizing his formal background in the arts. Described as a digital alchemist, he is determined to alter the viewer’s perception, pushing the boundaries of the imagination through the use of innovative media forms.
