THE COSMIC CHAOS SHOW is an exhibition and action-design & art installation POPPING UP around the planet on various locations - initially only with work developed by sustainable vision designer, conceptual architect and visual selfcreationist NIELS PETER FLINT.
the first THE COSMIC CHAOS SHOW is in PARIS from April 3rd til April 8th 2024 - its during the PARIS ART WEEK where several major events are happening.
THE COSMIC CHAOS SHOW consists of various art and designworks which you can see some of below
The COSMIC CHAOS SHOW - Introduction
- A Dance with Destruction - The Cosmic Chaos of Human Desire
Human desire is full of complex contra dictional aspects - especially when it comes to our relationship with the earth - the system. We desire the most incredible things knowing that at the end we will kill ourselves - or at least make flowers, animals, plants, insects etc. go extinct. AI might be able to help us humans here – and Im serious – I mean it – after having my entire professional life tried in all sorts of ways to support innovative and sustainable development that could enhance and help create a phenomenal world – for everyone and everything, I have realized – or maybe rather accepted, that humans are selfish habitual creatures who often would rather die than changing lifestyle.
Its an incredible PARADOX that this is the way it is, but nevertheless that’s the hardcore reality. So what to do when you still believe – and can see how amazing life – for everyone – on this planet could be. Well first of all maybe its important to accept the realities – the CHAOS – but also to acknowledge that you / we / us can create something out of the chaos – something that can make us touch the skies and not only making dreams come true – but making the RIGHT dreams come true – the dreams that can help establish a more COSMIC dimension among us all – among all the ones that are active in this system….and that’s a lot since that is really EVERYTHING.
The first and most profound dimension we need to understand is that absolute EVERYTHING on this planet and in this UNIVERSE is “alive” and in CONSTANT TRANSFORMATION – everything spins around on the microscopic level as well as the MACROSCOPIC level.
Designers like Charles and Ray Eames made this movie - link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0 - decades ago for IBM - THE POWER OF TEN – to tell us exactly this. But various religions are also trying hard to explain to us that everything is alive – and everything is also dying – or rather TRANSFORMING – non stop and all the time and has ALWAYS been doing so – as a matter of fact everything spins around forever – everything is apart of a for us normal humans the in-comprehendible dimension - ETERNITY.
My little test to explain ETERNITY you can come and experience at the COSMIC CHAOS SHOW – its banal and super simple – yet the maybe the most amazing and complex thing you can imagine – or do – if you dare doing it.
But yes its very frustrating to have worked all your life with how to change the “human world” to become something that’s profoundly connected, cosmic and sustainable – AND seeing it not happening.
For 40 years or more I have been dreaming up new concepts – now its time to show them in a new and different ways – the ways I believe I can maybe still contribute a little bit to a positive change here on Planet EARTH.
In order to do this work and in order to work fast Im using AI – since yes we have a LOT to do if we want to change things. And we HAVE TO CHANGE – there is no way out of it – and I think everyone understands this now.
Technology is one of the amazing achievements Humans have developed – however as with everything else there are deep unsettling contradictions in how technology can and should be used – especially the latest dimension – ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE - AI.
The COSMIC CHAOS SHOW is not just showing you my works its also a personal experiment for me into seeing how far I can utilize AI in my work without getting lost. Currently Im seeing AI as an infant that needs to be brought up in best possible ways since its for sure an incredible dimension already in the lives of humans. We just don’t really know it, but what Gemini, which I use, and ChatGPT etc. AI has now reached all of us and we can freely use it – AND mind you – teach it as well. It might be small contributions but my feeling is that AI will be far more rational than humans are and thus also be able to guide us through the incredibly complex world we live in – but also the one we have created. Its simply not possible for any human today to comprehend the complexity of todays world.
And honestly I do not want to get into massive philosophical and existential and intellectual nor religious or spiritual discussions regarding these matters. I can see and feel that almost everything on this planet has become “dysfunctional” in terms of making the entire system function (read being in symbiosis – balance). Nature it self and life of the planet – before we humans entered was or is complex – adding us and all we have done the past centuries has created an even more complex world – especially since we started living completely “apart” from the system or the planet / nature – since we just exploited without any consideration for the effects of what we did – yes the planet can provide anything we want really, but only if we administrate it together with and understand and not the least RESPECT the system or nature or the planet – well the universe and the rules that governs everywhere.
I believe that AI can help us find the way in the jungle, BUT we also have to teach it (AI) our NEW VISIONS – I think we have finally developed something that can help us lift ourselves onto another level but it requires entirely new ways of living AND that’s only us humans who can do that work – it requires that we organize but also again RESPECT our CHAOS – and as I see it we respect it by designing or rather envisioning how we can use it to create COSMOS – and therefore obviously The COSMIC CHAOS SHOW – a drop in the ocean, but even a drop can be valuable.
You will see work – primarily in the written material – done with help from GEMINI. Please understand that it also for me is of very big importance that as many of us who deals with sustainable development in one way or another, creates projects that can inspire, maybe provoke to make the MINDSHIFTs that are utterly needed among Homo Sapiens. The COSMIC CHAOS SHOW is developed to hopefully move just a few peoples mindset – and maybe inspire other creatives to do similar projects so that we can maybe get things moving in the right direction – but time is limited – the disasters are round the corner unless we manage to divert our way of doing and living. So for me using AI was initially a question of being able to work faster – now after having tried working with GEMINI I realize (and yes – unfortunately - knowing that vast amounts of energy is supplying GEMINI) that its not just about speed but also GEMINI possesses strange insights that I have found very interesting.
So welcome to work and a world – a creative pot demonstrating how life could also be in a world profoundly different – and transformational understanding (sustainable) – a world which I hope will become SENSUSTAINABLE – emotional and sensual sustainable…welcome to The COSMIC CHAOS SHOW…

salon ephemere
a concept on how to show why the NPF works the way he does.
WISIONVIEW
The WILD visions called WISIONVIEWs are about how we Homo Sapiens and the big big big system can collaborate in new and incredible ways. We humans can with the help of new technology we have developed - like AI - design the most amazing world where everyone and everything thrives in complete harmony.
DIVINE DINNER
Food is DIVINE - or should be - all the time. Every meal you make ought to be a feast - a celebration of life, nature, the planet, the universe. We all know it intuitively but do we dare living it - DIVINE DINNER is about how we can make the most out of the least..but doing the best. Come see and taste and be part of building onto the visions presented.

THE COSMIC CHAOS MAGICAL PILLOWS
This project is about giving life to lifeless sofas - making your pillows TALK - or making the often useless items in the sofa make sure you have something to talk about.
The CCM Pillows are double sided - meaning the have 2 different images, which means when you get bored of looking at one image you simply turn you pillow around and voila here is a new look and a new STORY…
The CCM Pillows will be possible to buy at the COSMIC CHAOS SHOW next week in Paris - or in LOKAL at Ærø - or in Normandy - or online asap...The CCM pillows are made from organic cotton and printed with state-of -the-art printing technology in France where they are also stitched. They will be possible to order in numerous versions - minimum purchase will be 3 almost custom-made pillows. And nothing will produced until purchased - so now waste on the account - either.

The only thing all living beings have in common is that we at some point have to depart our bodily structure - for who knows…something else. The last journee is maybe the most powerful - and beautiful…come see how its also could be done.
The COSMIC CHAOS MAGICAL PILLOWS….some of them….
dreamsheets
a series of artworks developed on magical old handwoven linen sheets from Normandy. The artwork is mainly made with materials equally from Normandy - fixated with lin-oil.
TRANSPARENCY
a series of ARTWORK developed to promote TRANSPARENCY in everything - being transparent of course.
Come see the work for yourself.
THE COSMIC CHAOS VASES & URNS
We almost all love flowers and the beauty they represent – we want to have them around us and we put them in vases, pots etc. – now all year round – since we can…
We are importing masses of fresh flowers from Africa – and yes it might help poor people immediately – but not in the long run. MAKE VASES not FLOWERS – well in Africa for export since of course its not about stopping flower production but about having more beauty around us – all year round.
The CC-vases you can turn and always find new motives – possibly add some of the elements provided like strings, branches etc….
