Organic

“You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”
- Chuck Palahniuk, American freelance Journalist, Satirist and Novelist, 1962 -

“Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature. Everything is organic and living, and therefore the whole world appears to be a living organism.”
- Seneca, Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and humorist, 3 BC – 65 AD

“Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems.”
- Rudolf Arnheim , German-born author, art and film theorist and perceptual psychologist, 1904 – 2007

Organic Electronics: Materials, Processing, Devices and Applications
Franky So, editor, CRC Press; 2009, 1420072900
In the near future, organic semiconductors may be used in a variety of products, including flat-screen TVs, e-book readers, and third-generation organic photovoltaics applications, to name just a few. While organic electronics has received increased attention in scientific journals, those working in this burgeoning field require more in-depth coverage of the subject. [...] This valuable reference harnesses the insight of various experts in the field, who contribute entire chapters on their area of specialty, covering chemistry and materials, fundamental physics, device processing, fabrication, and applications.

Coverage includes cutting-edge advances in:
Organic vapor phase deposition to fabricate organic nanostructures
Organic semiconductor device physics
Organic thin film and vertical transistors
Organic photovoltaic cells
OLED technologies for flat panel displays and lighting

Impact on my work
Organic considerations, for me, reflect the vitality of the work. How a piece springs to life... it can be the most minimal, systematic, analytical structure, and yet with just the perfect consideration to keeping the work organic, the system becomes alive, sentient, breathing, pulsating, throbbing, alive, depositing living seeds in my mind, which sprout into organisms which burrow into the crevices of my brain, my psychological identity, and latch onto me, and begin symbiotic relationships with me. That's the kind of life I want from art, I need from art, and I want to have in my works.
