WONDERCHAOS

Together, Daudy and Novoselov pursue an enquiry into chaos, exploring the many circumstances in which chaos reigns and the unexpected, yet inevitable, order that is often born from it. They show how it is the nature of mankind to assign meaning and narrative to the world and create stories to explain the seemingly inexplicable. Chaos can be experienced both individually and universally, something which Daudy and Novoselov encourage us to reflect upon throughout the exhibition. The unfolding of the universe leads us cyclically through chaos to harmony.

WONDERCHAOS presents truths and beliefs held by entire societies that rest upon chaos, such as the Big Bang theory and ancient creation myths. By combining their specialisms, Daudy and Novoselov offer a collection of multi-sensory works that address chaos and its ubiquity in all aspects of life and nature including chaos in relation to art, science, philosophy, harmony, environmental change, language and time.
