tricky...


Negative space is not a scientific or religious concept and the only thing it has to do with philosophy is it's connection to the philosophy of art or "Aesthetics."


Negative space is a part of a dual artistic concept (along with positive space, of course). It represents those areas in a three-dimensional artifact (be that a person, place or thing) which appear, aesthetically speaking, to be a part of the artifact but are actually "void" or empty space. It is defined largely by the filled space of said artifact, but also by the eye of the beholder. It has been considered that, as much as silence is an integral part of music, empty space is an integral part of three-dimensional art.

I hope that helps.

All our universe could be like a breathe out (considering it since big bang) the anti universe should be the breathe in ... that come after, or before...
no?

no! i refuse to explain negative space!

much love

Negative space is not technically void of everything, so therefore it's actually a false concept, some concepts never seem to be fully explained. Supposedly to simplify thing's and help you learn, but that just makes certain people to become skeptical of everything they learn, which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you react to thing's that make you skeptical.

no negative space, nor positive space. just space. space reflects what the individual sees, not the whole population, just the individual. to me, there is just space.

Where did you get this term, "negative space"?

Let me point you to some other sources of info about negative space. Come on, people, this is an easy one.

Actually, this discussion would be more appropriate in the Art Forum.

Does this mean that non-space is the opposite of infinite?

I think the term you might be looking for is "nil space."
