Technology who’s I am humble servant, increases, happily enough, its spinning wheel revolutions twiddling the future. What today seems self evident, was, at he end of the last decade of past century, debatable and the subject of serious contradistinction. The subject of dispute was the capability of computers in creating pieces of visual Art.
At the dawn of present century I found myself in a position to defend before admired artists, the fundamentals, of what is obvious nowadays. Impregnated with the perseverance of exact science concerning proof of the arguments, I started pilgrimage for the “construction” of visual events exhibited in three exhibitions up today. Not an easy task. An Odyssey where “Many the men whose cities he saw, whose ways he learned”, according to Homer’s introduction. It is a travel where research of means combines with seeking ways of visual communication.
Ithaca is far away, for sure, but it is an interesting quest, and paradigm change is a liberation movement for the young “paddlers” of Art.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent
If the unheard, unspoken Word is unspoken, unheard;
Still is the unspoken word, the Word unheard, The Word without a word, the Word within The world and for the world;
And the light shone in darkness and Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled About the centre of the silent word.
