New Renaissance i = E = MC² — Art, Consciousness, Architecture and Holistic Information Theory as a Model of Evolutionary Peace Culture

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between art, architecture, consciousness research, creativity, neurobiological resonance, and social evolution through the projects “Globalpeace Campus” and “New Renaissance i = E = MC². ” The theoretical foundation is the Holistic Information Theory (GIT) developed by Dieter W. Liedtke, which interprets information as the underlying principle of energy, matter, consciousness, and evolution. The study analyzes the Hegel-Liedtke Graphic Art Formula as a visual instrument for identifying innovation in artworks and as a potential mechanism for neurobiological creativity transfer. Art is interpreted not merely as aesthetic representation but as an evolutionary information system capable of influencing consciousness, creativity, and social development through perception, mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, and epigenetic processes. The Globalpeace Campus is described as a model of episystemic bioarchitecture in which architecture, landscape, audiovisual media, science, and art merge into an open consciousness environment intended to promote creativity, health, peace, and ethical social evolution. The research combines approaches from art history, philosophy, neurobiology, epigenetics, architecture, and information science and proposes a new interpretation of cultural evolution in which innovation and information function as central drivers of biological, cognitive, and societal transformation. Introduction The projects “Globalpeace Campus” and “New Renaissance i = E = MC²” attempt to synthesize art, science, architecture, consciousness research, and social evolution into a unified interdisciplinary framework. The central assumption is that information is not merely symbolic data but the foundational structure underlying energy, matter, consciousness, creativity, and biological evolution. At the center of this approach stands the formula: This formula interprets information (“i”) as the fundamental structure behind energy and matter and proposes an informational extension of classical physical interpretations. Based on this concept, the Holistic Information Theory (GIT) attempts to connect quantum mechanics, relativity theory, consciousness research, biological evolution, and art history within a common informational framework. The exhibition “New Renaissance i = E = MC²” documents artistic innovation through key works and historical art series while connecting them to current fields such as neurobiology, epigenetics, media research, and consciousness studies. A central component of the study is the Hegel-Liedtke Art Formula, developed between 1983 and 1988 following discussions with Joseph Beuys. The formula visually distinguishes between already known elements (yellow) and objectively new innovations (red), thereby creating a simplified visual grammar for creativity and innovation. According to the study, artworks function as informational and creative storage systems capable of activating neurobiological processes through perception and mirror-neuron resonance. The formula therefore becomes not only an art-theoretical instrument but also a universal educational and consciousness tool intended to democratize creativity and innovation. The Globalpeace Campus in Uruguay extends these principles into architectural space. Architecture is interpreted not only as functional structure but as a consciousness environment integrating audiovisual systems, landscapes, symbols, social interaction, and cognitive perception into an open creative field. The study further compares the Hegel-Liedtke Art Formula with early symbolic systems such as Sumerian cuneiform writing, the I Ging hexagrams, and the Yin-Yang symbol, arguing that the art formula represents a simplified universal visual grammar capable of directly communicating innovation and evolutionary transformation. The research concludes that creativity, innovation, and consciousness evolution can be interpreted as interconnected informational processes and that art may function as a biologically and culturally relevant medium for cognitive, social, and evolutionary development. 50 Supporting Studies with DOI / ISBN A.
