Tag: Artificium

In InnerSpace, an artificium (pl. artificia, adj. artificial) is an aedificium that is intended to, or succeeds in, producing a distinct aesthetic, emotional, or contemplative response in the mind of an observer—such as awe, sublimity, resonance, or artistic recognition.

An artificium represents a transcendence of construction into art: the moment when technical formation becomes expressive meaning. The artificium is not defined by beauty alone, but by its capacity to reorganize perception and attention.

In InnerSpace art is understood as constructed transcendence.
