experimental
Project
Myth/Network [
-1990-2014- ]
is an “hyper-string” of intertwined sub-projects, emerging from
depth psychology and multi-plexing in open-ended works of
cosmonautical perspective; traces of a liminal rite of passage to our
new aeon:
Myth/Network
(ήμαρ -1990-2014-) is
a
single work of lasting present “resting in its permutations”.

in
Alexandria Egypt and was attending for 7 years Soeur Herman's
workshop in Fine Arts. She also acquired the state Arabic “Τhanaweya Αma”. She studied Chemistry-Physics in the American University of
Cairo and graduated in Psychology- Sociology in Pierce (Deree)
College, Athens.
She is Greek, from Aigeon and Syros island, born in“the point zero of the present” (as defined by radiocarbon calibration), in the beginnings of nuclear tests and the changes in the measurement of time with the first computers, in multicultural Alexandria Lost, a shifting Hellenistic home, grafted with the element of deconstruction, which she now retrieves in the planetary dimension of her work.
She lives in Athens. She works everywhere.

"Myth/Network
is not a work in the usual form of an art work, but a state which is
configured as much by the artist as by the participants in her
growing interactive web. It is an open system that evolves on many
ontological levels.. the old system of art centered on the
artist-emitter and the passive audience is transformed into a living
system-network of the international creative society”.
Elzbieta
Koscielak,
ΑICA
art critic,
“Myth/Network:
The vision of an open system in Art”,
The
Network, Govostis,
Athens 3/2/1991.
“
Myth/Network
is an original invitation where many trends coexist. It is a
personal path of the contemporary artist extending towards the depths
of centuries and towards the unknown future of humanity in this
crucial time of transition”.
Elzbieta
Koscielak,
AICA, Myth/Network,
La
Mia Casa, Athens 5-6/1991.
“it
has to do with a vision springing from the psychology of the
unconscious. Her unusual point of departure is that myth becomes act
of the soul in the sites where it was born to be reconstructed as
present bringing back the creative and drastic hypostasis of Greek
language. We could define her work as Space Semiotics...
The
maps of her itineraries, dont follow a predetermined program but they
reveal themselves to her gradually, based on a series of subliminal,
symbolic coordinates and synchronistic events that elevate in front
of our eyes, in her words: “the matrix of meaning that sustains the
world”.
Through
collective synergy which is sustained by pure subjectivity, her
itinerary maps are transformed into an embodiment experience for the
participants, tending to be reduced into abstraction, through
rational elaboration and writing.
To
seek to enter in this dimension seems at first sight difficult, but,
once you accept to make the effort, doors will open to unsuspected
dimensions”.
Donatella
Bisutti,
“Polyxene
Kasda Myth/Network”,
La Clessidra 1/1995 Joker, Italy
"
I sustain that Polyxene Kasda can be included as one of the most
notorious representatives today, on an international level, of a
culture capable to realize the conjunction of antique traditions with
contemporary sciences. Her research re-actualizes the immense
mythical patrimony that Greek civilization has left to us, which she
proposes as a transtemporal, operating living reality”.
Donatella
Bisutti,
poet,
writer, chief editor of Poesia e Spiritualita review, Milan 2010,
Italy
“Polyxene
Kasda belongs to a diachronic and existential forefront, as by
analogy, the Pythagoren and Orphic mysteries would seem advanced
today”.
Victor
Ivanovici,
writer,
essayist, literary critic 2005.
"At
each and every point of her art, Kasda re-casts and re-interprets
mythological and philosophical concepts, bringing them back to life
in aesthetic form".
Dr.
Yael Navaro-Yashin 2010,
anthropologist,
essayist, senior university Lecturer.
“By
revisiting myth, Polyxene reconstructs history itself. Crucial Timer
artist with creative genius,
her
language is mythic, her thought original.
From her study of the landscape, amplified by observation, scientific
research, linguistic analogies and involvement with the local
residents, a precious project was born; a “doc” important for
future generations".
Dores
Sacquegna,
art-curator, art gallery director, Lecce, Italy 2010.
“We
traverse with the author a mythological landscape, a field of self
exploration through “a forest of symbols” in Baudelaire words or
in more actual terms “Project Myth/Network”, of which I lived
certain stages and I am more and more struck by this
ekstatic experience that allows us to realise the initiatic potential
of Greek mythical paideia
which is always contemporary.
In her work we can speak of an authentic outpour of mythical
knowledge. Her artistic act intervenes and transforms space into a
holy site“.
Eugene
Van Itterbeek, writer,
poet, literary critic, Avant-propos

Cahiers Europeens de Poesien.159-collection Les Sept Dormants n51997

“ In
her projects original and unpredictable social “language games” a
la Wittgenstein are set up and left to evolve creating a multitude of
narratives that would never happen in real law-restricted
societies.The
originality of Polyxene’s dromena has been documented by a number
of participants and art critics. Concepts like virtual reality, role
playing multiple worlds, tangible space-time deformations, lived
sense of differential rate of flow of time during critical events or
dromena, cultural shock encounters, culturally/memory informed models
and reevaluation of existing policies are suggested in the relevant
documents..
