"Multiple[x] Complejidad y sostenibilidad " is the result of the reflective evolution and thought maturation process developed over the last three years by the dx5 digital & graphic art_research group of the University of Vigo. During this period, a project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation has been implemented that delves in-depth into two concepts portrayed in contemporary art in a very interesting manner, and which we feel have an important future perspective.

_ the concepts

The concepts are COMPLEXITY and SUSTAINABILITY. We believe that evolution has been transcendental and has traversed in recent years from single-unitary to dichotomous, from dual to multiple, and from multiple to complex (thought and production). We have always lived in a "complex" world, and feel that we will find the key to the future sustainability of the system only by responsibly understanding this concept of complexity. We believe that the episteme based on simplified models of knowledge has been incapable of resolving the inconsistencies and paradoxes that constantly appear at both theoretical and practical levels.

At the formal level, the book is the sum of different interventions, thoughts, reflections of different specialists invited to collaborate in the project: Like José Ramón Alcalá, Daniel Canogar, David Barro, Denise Najmanovich, Nicolas Frespech, Guillermo Yañez, Boa Mistura, Richard Noyce, Silvi Boulaguer, Javier Tudela… It has been our intention not to bind the "book" in a traditional manner in order to avoid organisation and ranking of the different thoughts. This was done using a separate booklet system to let the reader decide his/her preferred reading order. These booklets are framed in a box-container that establishes the link between them.

We consider that the collective construction of experience contributes richer routes that tend to gradually eradicate the myth of hierarchical objectivity as an outdated model. In this equation, we also feel that the interaction of art with science and other knowledge disciplines functions as a paradigm for dissipation of borders, and acts as a fundamental incentive that places us in a multidisciplinary perspective, for the greater advancement of knowledge. Issues related to Multiple Art for the third millennium are explored from the view of complexity and sustainability; we want to rethink complexity as a research and production methodology in contemporary multiple art; as the art and science dialogue focused on outlining a more sustainable future; as the relationship between PRODUCT and SOCIETY; as the role of collaborative practices and responsible cultural management.

Reflection, production, marketing and consumption of Multiple Art from a sustainability point of view.

Booklets have been graphically designed separately as different parts of a single system, to provide a rich array of aesthetic, graphic, and publishing approaches.

At the production level, different papers available in stock at the Gráficas Anduriña company (Poio, Pontevedra) have been reused, thus contributing by this action, on the one hand, to material sustainability of published production, and on the other, with a clear intention to foster diversity and coexistence of opposites within complexity.
