Chaos & Ordnung

Balance, proportionality and harmony were once concepts applied to refer to the beauty of a composition (pictorial, poetic, musical… ). These concepts connected to the idea that nature is subject to a necessary order.
In the present day, this perception has changed. Today, the prevailing opinion is that the laws of nature are subject to dynamic systems.

Balance, harmony — ORDNUNG — are not necessarily opposed to indeterminacy, chance — CHAOS.
