about

Al Lover's latest, 'Subject X Object', is a meditation on the interconnectivity of the inner experience and outer world. Hypnotic loops pair with indulgent effects, producing a world in which the imagination can roam free between waking life and dreams.


"In the human experience, the subject and the object are inextricably linked. While this can be perceived as a binary, a deeper look shows a different perspective. When noticing the interplay between the two polarities, one finds that this entanglement is connected by a third property. An unseen and often disregarded, binding agent.

For example, when in the process of observing, there is the observer, the observed and the act of observation. The subjective / observer, the objective / observed and the "transjective" / act of observation.

This triangulation is often overlooked by presupposing that one aspect of a dichotomy holds a dominant position, relative to the perspective. That the relationship is of little, or no importance and that these things are ultimately separate.

This is a mistake. A deeper look shows that the interplay between the two is actually the gateway to a great mystery and something fundamental to the human experience. Emphasis on this concept can be found in much spiritual imagery, religious teachings and philosophical traditions throughout the world.

Think of the Taoist yin yang, the Christian crucifix and Hegelian dialectic. All represent the crux of paradoxical opposites, how they interplay, their binding, inseparably and ultimate relationship. A oneness from three. In a constant cycle of birth, death and regeneration.

There is deep wisdom to be gained from engaging with this concept. The effect can create a more profound understanding of the interconnectivity of life. Mediation on this idea can help foster an empathetic understanding of the world and an ethical approach to living in it.

Our goal is to promote his philosophy with the hope that it will give people a more meaningful connection to others, the planet and to existence itself."

-Al Lover
