Neurobotos actually began back in the early eighties as something I called "the shape of escape" and then later "panapsida" and was brought about through my obcession with the arbiform and the toroid and the idea of everything as fluid travelling from open space to open space through portals as it were, graphically visualized as prostrated pathways like trunks of fallen and invisable trees, a sublime lattice of events and objects intertwined in integrated sequences of "individuation and involvement"(Susan Langer). Later I also conceived of it as my visual take on the concept of "nested hierarchies." Regardless I began to "see" everything in terms of this, and even at some point toyed with the idea of this being a privileged shamanic vision. I nearly succumbed to the idea that all disciplines and ideas could be bundled into this arbiform concept, that the interdisciplinary studies required this link as it were for us to progress to a numinous view of the universe, blah, blah, blah... I had wanted us all to freeze in our tracks all at once and understand that a visual competence was required and could be had in this way. Shikes!
