Appoximationism as a new art form in Art Therapy.
Abstract:Approximationism as an art form is defined in a deep definition of human nature, as a model maker, in correlations and autocorrelations with varying degrees of naturalness, human cognition, is defined as symbolic dynamism and abstractionism, in a spectrum ,with algorithms and data mining, defined as approximationism in visual declaration, symbolic mathematics, natural language and metaphors, an ontological API and Taxonomy in cognition. Various metrics of formal elements of approximationism for art therapy are the topic of a future publication.Keywords: approximationism, ontology API, taxonomy, complexity theory, metrics, visual dynamism, visual declaration, graphics calculators, docking stations.What:Mathematics is a universal language, but Godel's incompleteness theorem proves it’s incompleteness, not even closed form expressions for natural language or for consciousness are possible, so approximations are the solution, every model we make and data we collect are mere approximations. Is art too an approximation and a visual description of a model? This is approximationism, the art of approximations of life, art as an approximation.We explore the use of approximation art in art therapy and data mining or sketch to coding, for the formal definitions and the programming of approximationist art therapy.
