Framing the Creativity of Chaos

Abstract

(Should chaos need a framing…) This is a book that tries to engage chaos and invoke difference and movement. Such a methodology recoils from frames or grids that select, narrow, and focus research, yet without some level of framing chaos might seem impenetrable and insufferable. The framing provided here is quite permeable; an open frame; a frame as a form of constraint that permits and focuses creativity. This chapter is intended both to examine the concept of chaos as a tool for becoming, and to frame the space in which the book is performed with some ontological and epistemological presuppositions. Even as a position, a method, or a concept is explained as part of the frame of the research, it is breaking up and changing; in addition, new elements become part of the frame, and other elements pass out through the gaps that appear. Every thing is event, moving within its own unique sense of duration. The frame is always becoming something new, constituted in the movement and changing relations between its contents and its outside.
