"I consider creativity to be a kind of scientific/philosophical activity, where an artist can put forward hypotheses and conduct experiments based on them. Using the term from Deleuze and Guattari's 'philosophical ghetto,' I could say that I am engaged in the search for 'Haecceity' (*The term was coined by followers of the medieval Scottish philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus, it refers to the discrete qualities and characteristics of a thing that make it a specific thing). The methods of experimentation can vary, from constructing postmodern binary oppositions in an object to quantifying the object."
