Abstract
Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) posits an immanent God, as opposed to a transcendent one. In his view, God is of this world, and not a creator of the world from an outside station. Similarly, Deleuze, in his theory of the plane of immanence posits that everything is a product of emerging and converging elements of the physical world. In this thesis, I endeavor to explore these ideas, and to understand how we can experience ourselves as a part of these undulating reverberating elements. Drawing on inspiration from several sources including Ligeti's polyphonic sound clouds and the spatial awareness of the Mono-ha (もの派) artists, I have created a series of oil paintings and an interactive sound piece to investigate our connection to such resonances.
