| The Art Challenge I launched is structured on the exciting conjunction of Sun, Jupiter and Mercury in Sagittarius that occurred last fall. This was the first drawing I did for the Art Challenge. I enhanced it on April 10 and 11 2019. The Sabian Symbol of Sun Conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius of that day is A Little Child Learning To Walk. That is pretty much what all who participated to this ongoing challenge are doing: we are learning something that will be useful for the rest of our lives. In plain pencil drawing I put on paper a design of the forces I believe we could access to heal our planet. © Lena Ghio, 2019 |
• A VERY SUCCINCT RECAP
 |
| This drawing was the first one I did for thelast Art Challenge. I sketched it when the Sun was exactly conjunct the Sun of the Jupiter Effect when I had erected my wish pyramid March 10 1982. I am putting down on paper all I have learned since then. I want to synthesize what I have done in 1982 and where I am at today. © Lena Ghio, 2019. |
In March 1982 the media was abuzz about a prediction made by two scientists that a rare planetary alignment would bring catastrophes to Earth like earthquakes, tornadoes and more. It was called The Jupiter Effect. Their hypothesis was that a rare alignment of planets would affect the Sun magnetic field creating solar wind that would in turn affect our planet's atmosphere. At the precise moment of the exact alignment predicted by the two scientist-authors, John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann, I built a tiny cardboard wish pyramid in which I put the wish I wrote on a tiny piece of paper. It was an outline of my artistic dream to create the most excellent all encompassing art in the universe. I was an art student at Concordia University then.

On March 10 1982, the date that was focused on in the original book The Jupiter Effect, there were no large scale events that shattered the Earth. On that same day, I built a wish pyramid and enshrined my desire in it. Weeks later the only thing I observed was a change in the lines in the palm of my right hand. Suddenly I could make out a large pentagram that synthesized many mounts and lines into the five pointed star symbol. The question that obsessed me from that moment on was: Why is something so monumental as a massive alignment of planets all in a row affecting only a few cells that form lines on the palms of my hand?
• MY ART PRACTICE
 |
| Still on March 10 2019, I draw out my practice; I built OMIs; I produced Phenomene Art events; I wrote popular science articles on this blog to attach what I was observing to the scientific discussion of our time; I did experiments with plants and clouds; I did Emerge Art. I wonder how what I have done corresponds to my 1982 wish? © Lena Ghio, 2019 |
Today I understand that I am an outsider artist. I do not fit in any way the current standard. I never liked being standard. The category my art fits in the best is transdisciplinary art although what I document is not accepted either, at this time, by the scientific community. I understand WHY the scientists who wrote The Jupiter Effect's prediction failed. Gravitational Waves were just an hypothesis at that time. Today we have proof they exist. The two astrophysicists were oblivious to the first thing they learned about the Big Bang, that immediately after it gravity got busy separating space and creating molecules, compounds and elements that began to spin! Therefore they could not comprehend the time factor for the unfolding of their prediction. It is the time of celestial mechanics, not time measured by the speed of light. Certainly today the climate on our planet fits closely enough to the conditions they had foreseen for the Jupiter Effect. For me, their work, my wish pyramid and the lines of my hand changing gave me the impetus to learn HOW TO MASTER THE STARS.
I have been doing this since the Jupiter Effect and now consider myself to be Homo Mag Astrum, a human who masters the stars, as opposed to Homo Sapiens, a human who gathers knowledge and develops technology. My art practice is the way my totality deals with the impact of this evolutionary metamorphosis from Homo Sapiens to Homo Mag Astrum.
• I AM HOMO MAG ASTRUM
I have been working on this concept for decades now. So who is Homo Mag Astrum?
I have outlined how the Jupiter Effect impacted the direction of my life. I was not alone on Earth when the celestial event occurred. All those who were alive that day were affected by the Gravitational Modulations of the powerful planetary alignment. From my perspective, it is what I paid attention to because I took a creative action on that day that compelled me to notice the link between celestial mechanics and evolution, natural phenomena, and the shape of things such as clouds and plants.
I researched so many areas where astrological calculations were implemented by extraordinary civilizations to structure their world from the edifices they built, to social roles they assumed to agriculture! As a matter of fact we are the first global civilization that is totally disconnected from nature and worst many of my contemporaries are proud of that crazy fact!!!!
Homo Mag Astrum combines all the knowledge and technological savvy of our generation PLUS lives totally integrated to the rhythms of nature! Perhaps the others are alone like me for now, but our number is growing. Homo Mag Astrum is a child of the universe and of his decision to evolve from Homo Sapiens and take a Big Bang leap of evolution!
My final drawing (above) before setting up the Emerge Art pleased me enormously. I took my time and again the theme was synthesis between myself, my inner world and nature.

| On March 11 2019 I started drawing early as I wanted to create an Emerge Art in the afternoon when the light is just right. On the image on the left, I dressed my avatar in a "suit" as I again tried to imagine the incarnation of me as Homo Mag Astrum. All this mastery oozing out of me as I walk about generating and sharing good vibrations. The center drawing considers the energy body operating the same movements as the previous drawing. Then, on the right, my avatar tries to compress all the drawings of this episode of drawings into usable information. © Lena Ghio, 2019 |

| I took more than 100 photos of my installation on March 11 2019 but this is the bomb! I use that term to signify an Emerge Art where the combined effects of water, light and glass jump to create an impossible image. The previous combination of elements reacts to its environment, reacts to art. BE MINDFUL OF THIS when you think the world out there is just a rock. That is a view of contemporary ignorance. The world is alive and vibrant and sensitive. It sees and hears you and reacts to you. Country Gentleman © Lena Ghio, 2019 |
The above collage illustrates perfectly what the Emerge Art Country Gentleman on top means to me.
The man in the center of the bowl is having a Eureka moment, or a Aha Moment. I found the image on the right here: https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/02/business/tell-us-your-eureka-moment/index.html
In the center, the style of the Country Gentleman. He looks like he is wearing the fashion gentlemen wore in the 17th century. I found this delicious image here: http://17emesiecle.free.fr/Mode.php
Finally, I had to look up the science of that time. The illustration from the Wikipedia article illustrates how that epoch was thinking about gravity, the motion of the planets and alignment geometries of celestial mechanics. Sir Isaac Newton had just devised his law of universal gravitation, science was young! This was also the time science divorced from astrology. Scientists who never disproved astrology, simply because they do not know how to prove or disprove the thing, decided it was a pseudoscience when in reality it was the foundation of many sciences.
I want you to see with the included Emerge Art Country Gentleman that nature responds to art. Nature has a soul and we must not forget the Spirit of nature as we fight to save our planet from humanity's abuse.
The next alignment that is exciting to capture with art comes on the New Moon in Taurus of May 4 2019 and will last until May 7 2019. See astro.com for the exact time in your region. The Sun will form a Biquintile with Jupiter, the planet we have been cultivating with this challenge to heal our planet. The Biquintile is the alignment geometry supporting the will of man. It allows us to apply our will power in an effective manner.
