[...]t place, this project proposal suggests to explore the Hayula's experience of self and how it incorporates destabilizing its, which might permit or prohibit seeing beyond its conditions.
In another level of description we will look at the concept of Hayula as a device in cross-catalytic relations in matter-energy flows, looking at it as a semi metaphorical and physical nonlinear model for structure-generating processes that populate our world. How attractors and transistors consolidated different energy flows of certain intensities to gain access to self-organization? The energy trapped in winds and currents, atmosphere and hydrosphere, solar energy that plants capture through photosynthesis, has clocked societies for centuries and gave them rhythm. A small fraction of a plant life that has powered most of civilization's past intensifications. Enormous reservoir of oceanic and atmospheric energy fuels a great variety of self-organized structures: tornadoes, cyclones, pressure blocks, and, more importantly for human history, wind circuits. These forms of spontaneous structural generation suggest that inorganic matter is much more variable and creative than we ever imagined.

materiality that is specific to the eye
similar to a plant, the eye is not a simple aperture to absorb light, but a filter to mitigate external stimuli.
unveil vision as a process of chemical contamination and digestion stemming from plants. vision is rooted in the materiality of digestion.
the human eye is an organ complicit with plant photosynthesis.
in fact, seeing is a process of photosynthesis. as much as plant photosynthesis absorbs excessive light and turns it into the carbon structures of sugar molecules, the human eye has to mitigate light and turn it into the neural structure of vision, cognition, and memory. in this process the eye protects itself from the corruptive metabolism of light, tapping into some ancestral mechanism shared with plants.
if human eye protects itself like a plant, we can think of photosynthesis itself as a sort of primeval organ of vision spread out across the skin of the vegetable kingdom.
material commonality (worth exploring)
incarnate an external organ of vision
our tie with the general metabolism of light
correlations between human vision and the organic world
using a technique to record the surface of reality or using to reveal the internal chemical composition of matter
in the chromatogram, a light reaction reveals the inner chemistry and transforms matter composition into visual patterns
different regime of visibility
light is not just a stream of waves to be passively refracted and recorded but an active and autonomous medium of [...]
