INDUCTIVE LOGIC

INDUCTIVE LOGIC: A COMPILATION CURATED BY BRAW HAUS X FUTUREJUICE

“Inductive logic” responds to current post-info-era standards of reasoning, which are based on probability, not certainty.

Lowering our collective standards for informed logic gives way to non-reflection and uninformed “reasoning”—the acceptance of insignificance behind opinion. We’ve recently encountered dismissals of digital & video art with reflections such as, “it’s just a video,” without even attempting to engage with the experience or contemplating the creative and production work behind the on-screen experience. We feel this is a tragic result of inductive logic’s influence on people’s “critical” analysis. The term “logic”, has also become a key reference word in computing, and thus digital image making.

Logic should “abide to strict principles of validity”, though today the word “logic” requires a percussive adjective, such as inductive, as the current lack of validity principles has rendered true logic unachievable. We aim to counter disregards of moving image art by giving it a large & central spotlight in the gallery space.
