OBJECTIVES
Art, a primordial instrument of mankind’s expression, lays a bridge towards
our inside, revealing unknown aspects. During the effort of creating a work
of art, we build a kaleidoscope which returns, bit by bit, aspects of ourselves.
Inner growth, serenity, consciousness, are states which are reached, and arrived
at, by means of bridges that are built with scraps of the past. It will be important
to exercise the utmost lucidity to understand the object of our effort.
The works herein aspire to extend the life of a piece of the future already
discarded. They are shown with the goal that an observer be able to perceive
the absolute banality of that piece of future.
The pretention of enshrining or mythifying a computer plate, albeit functional,
must alert us to a tendency of our times: To put mankind in the same box as
a computer component.
It is not simple, once that the spirit becomes lazy, to react to the degradation
of our human condition. We contemplate impassively how the most important values
of the human condition are directed towards things.
It is the duty of Art to sound the alarm. Not only to avoid that human beings
be treated as scraps, taking away their dignity, but also to awaken them from
a lethargy that converts them into superficial beings, fascinated by the tinsel
and fireworks that modern times continuously display. This alarm aims at reactivating
the essential energy at the base of creation, of communication, of the highest
sense of our very existence.
I am not as naïve to pretend that the works herein presented are by themselves
the totality of emerging thinking. But I would like to assign myself the authorship
of trying. To reach China, it is necessary to give that first step, which in
reality does not put us far from our own back yard. The rest of the journey
will happen as a consequence of exercising the mechanism of decision to give
that first step.
The more dignity we assign to all around us, the higher the respect with which
we will be treated. The more sensitivity that we exercise to understand acts
of our lives, the greater the serenity that will characterize our existence.
The more we know ourselves, the higher the right we will have to consider ourselves
as part of the Universe.
