Sunstorm Magazine - "Collisionism"

The first experimental project of Collisionism were displayed by the CHAIN group at the exhibitions of the STYX Gallery from 1989-1991. The task of this international group is to promote the Collisionism art movement at exhibition projects and scientific seminars, to conduct seminars for artists and art school students. The CHAIN group brings together all existing kinds of art media, publishes the ART Panorama magazine which covers the evolution of Collisionism and works on creating the funding of works of art for museums in industrially backward countries. They also plan to pursue artistic projects in cooperation with scientists, physicists, mathematicians and chemists who study artistic aspects of modern discoveries in the transformation of energy and to create artistic projects of new models of civilization, in conjunction with philosophers sociologists, economists, and historians.

The objectives of this new movement are varied. One is to give the spectator an opportunity to participate in creating the esthetics of the future, offering to experience intellectual overloads within the range of visual phenomena of the past and the structural paradoxes of the future. It also wishes to expand the sphere of the use of historical trends in art. Collisionism attempts to merge the models of social concepts under the influence of measured subconscious artistic sensations, to view the history of culture in terms of its social expediency through the prism of the present, and the representation of the future. It wants to create the work of art while studying the collision of schools, trends and visual attributes of various media in the arts. To use collisionism in advancing the level of artistic education of the public is also one of its goals and to bring into collision directly opposite philosophical concepts and technical structures of various arts.
