The name Nagual Experiment given to this project is inspired to the thirty years work of Carlos Castaneda ['72, '85] and in particular to the mystic myth of Nagual: a very ancient myth (diffused in the Latin-America) reviewed under different aspects by ancient and contemporary cultures.

The unknown and uncontrollable part of us, with its powerful perceptive and creative capacities, is well represented by Nagual myth. In this way, the perception of the man is seen as the result of the organization of luminous filaments converging together in an assemblage point. The position and configuration of the assemblage point and filaments determines the potential of perception.

I choice this reference because I found that the Nagual myth is an evocative vision of the self-organization concept. Furthermore, the images I produce are constituted by evolving filaments which organize themselves in patterns.
