Physicist and philosopher David Bohm used the term holoflux (alternately holomovement) as the metaphysical foundation for his well-known vision of the ‘implicate order.’ By holoflux Bohm was pointing to an underlying movement of vast scale, which gives rise to all of existence, both seen and unseen.

Beginning in 2020, a group of 30 people began a sustained inquiry into the real-life implications of this vision, clustered around a few core questions: Is there some actuality behind the word ‘holoflux’? If so, what does it look like? What does it feel like? What is a human being’s relationship to such a primordial phenomenon? Can we gain direct experience of it, actively participate in its movement?

Holoflux:Codex is a collection of artistic impressions and philosophical reflections arising from this two-year experiment that explores the states of consciousness that arise when ‘entering Bohm’s holoflux.’ It is the work of six individuals who shared their insights and experiences as the experiment unfolded.

No book like this has been attempted before—to take the ostensibly abstract thought of a twentieth- century physicist and render that work into first- person, phenomenological expression through paintings, drawings, typographical experiments, impressionistic writing, and philosophical exposition. The results offer multiple windows into what might be experienced when the collective representations of a society—including the subject-object partitioning of experience—are temporarily set aside by the deeper promptings of human consciousness.
