Information is the Third Element of the nature, which constitutes together with matter and energy an incredibly fecund basis to drive the Universe from a BigBangic, formless energetic soup toward a pure spirituality (opening of an energetic rebirth?) .
The universe evolves in an intermediate stage that mixes the 3 elements. Information plays together the role of a component and of the catalyser to participate in systemic reactions that create and animate quarks, molecules, machines, beings, organizations, planets, galaxies...
Beyond the largely material and energetic industrial sector that provides its means of livelihood and evolution, the human society is essentially informational. The information is no longer an ingredient added to matter and energy to shape an elaborated tangible product. It is the main input and output element of this system.
It is at this level that a particular type of information appears: Disinformation. Not that kind of erroneous information that is finally spotted and corrected, but the one which is deliberately biased for an intended purpose. The systemic equilibriums are then disturbed as when a room temperature sensor is placed in the refrigerator.
Disinformation, or propaganda in a little bit restricting sense is fundamentally a tool of power, allowing a minority to orient an organization that they officially govern or not.
I initially thought that Internet would weaken the efficiency of propaganda as is henceforth possible to know the original facts. On the contrary technology amplifies the dynamics and spread of disinformation which is only offset by the keenness of those who fight to unmask it by propagating closer to the fact messages.
Finally, Art realizes a sublimation of matter which it transmutes into the spiritual state of pure information. Through the artist’s hands and thought, matter and low level semiotic information become ultimate spiritual information, opening ways toward the immaterial destiny of the universe.
