Recently, Pavlovic has begun to work together with the Artist ~ Neuroscientist David Engstrøm on a new art movement called "The Metastabilian Movement". The vision, concepts, method and criticism of this art movement are based on an appreciation, respect and inspiration for 'the complementary nature'. The philosophy of this movement is grounded in the newer science of Coordination called "Coordination Dynamics", pioneered by the eminent neuroscientist J. A. Scott Kelso. Both Pavlovic and Engstrøm see an exciting opening terrain for creativity and discovery in this movement. In that spirit have both dubbed themselves "Metastabilian Artists" or "Metastabilians".
