註釋'The Fifth Dimension' is an art booklet by Patrick Meagher, of info-collage diagrams containing multi-perspectival views on current and esoteric research areas. A sequence of variations on a 5-way Venn diagram weave a conceptual thread from philosophy to science via religious thought, human potential, technology, and semiotics as ways of approaching holistic understandings of mind, body, and spirit. This project refers to work by Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, John Latham, and Louise Nevelson- and the title references her post-cubist catalog entitled 'The Fourth Dimension' on her philosophy of work and cultivating consciousness, and how art extends this awareness.The cover piece, 'ABCDE', extends Paul Lawrence's 'Fourth Drive' book, modifying 'learning' to 'Comprehension' and adding 'Enlightenment' as a fifth element, forming an almost uncanny English language first-letter A-B-C-D-E of life, as a way of stimulating holistic thinking about human existence, social behavior and contemporary culture.While there aren't necessarily direct relationships between all the numbers in the diagrams, there are important correspondences and linkages across the overlapping ovals. References are drawn from sources that enumerate five levels of understanding around a given subject--and in cases where the theory or data-set has four components, a fifth aspect has been added as a hypothesis.
