Michael Tablot in his book, holographic universe, proposes the idea of universe as a holographic film where every detail has the exact quality of the whole. Unlike everyday life that everything locate in a place, at subquantom level there is no placement. Therefore speaking of things separated from each other is unfounded. When each part of a holographic film has the whole information, information has been distributed on a basis of nonlocality. In this book he tries to prove this idea scientifically by pointing to observations of physists such as David Bohm and Karl Pribram. These two were first scientists who proposed universe as an image of a projection from another hyper reality which is far away from the reality known by measures of place and time.
Antony Gormley's Quantum Cloud is constructed from a collection of tetrahedral units made from 1.5 m long sections of steel. The steel sections were arranged using a computer model with a random walk algorithm starting from points on the surface of an enlarged figure.
the idea for Quantum Cloud came from a comment about algebra made by Basil Hiley, quantum physicist (and long-time colleague of David Bohem), in which he said that "algebra is the relationship of relationships". Gormley was interested in a kind of random matrix and a random connectivity to continue sense of connectivity outwards.
Cosmic imagery
These images show the five underlying impulses identifiable in occult illustrations: cosmic imagery, vibration, synesthesia, duality, sacred geometry. Cosmic imagery is suggestive of the mystical concept that the universe is a single, living substance
In some of the spiritual movement that influenced twenty century artists the bond between metaphysic idea and science was an important element. Metaphysic thinkers were eager to learn about advances in physics chemistry. This new knowledge allowed them to speculate about the invisible aspect of the material universe.
Mondrian’s theories and art were based on upon a system of a opposites such as male-female, light-dark, mind-matter. His abstract language express fundamental ideas about the world, nature, and human life and to evoke the harmonious unity of oppositions.
Frank Stella’s black paintings suggest mandalas is the result of his interest in non-Western ideas. However he was adamant that in his art What you see is what you see”, nevertheless his black paintings generally was regarded as manalalike when they were created.
Minimalism, to date, has been insufficiently related to mystical thought, although certain artists such as Marden, Yves Kline and Carl Andre, have openly acknowledged their interest in alchemy.

For certain mystical theme that became central to early-twenty century discussions of fourth dimension was: the infinite, the evolution of consciousness, and the philosophical monism( the oneness of the individual with the absolute). These three theme weave a thread reaching back to Romanticism and forward to Surrealism, two movement in which the mystical tradition played an important role.
Fourth dimension
In the fourth dimension the self-oriented sense of up-down and left-right fades away, and objects can be viewed from all sides at once. Malevich inspired by Hinton’s and Ouspensky’s writings on the fourth dimension, succeed in depicting a gravity free, directionless space.
