The true knowledge is knowing not to know. This is one of many variations of the famous (and often abused) reflection on the ignorance of Socrates. Easily shaped according to the contingencies, this quotation lends itself to a thousand interpretations but, in my case, it represents the truth. I do not know and I acknowledge my ignorance, especially in the arts.
Friday, October 24th I rushed into the land of Ex.IT to observe, on his last day of exposure, the exhibition Uqbar: Media Art and culture Virtual Renaissance, which includes sculptures of artists and Auer Solkide Shellina Winkler. I went as an observer who, studying the work before him, brings forth from the deep emotions, feelings and images which jealously guards.
's meeting Friday with the work left me speechless: for the first time I realized how art can essere vicina a noi. Non si tratta di un universo a sé, chiuso ai molti ed accessibile solo a pochi eletti. L’arte è qualcosa di tangibile, qualcosa che l’uomo crea a partire da un pensiero, da un suono, da un colore. L’arte c’è, ma l’oggetto dell’arte a volte non c’è, e non può essere ricondotto a qualcosa di realmente esistente.
Tutte queste riflessioni sono nate durante la visita alla mostra di Uqbar. Perdersi fra le spirali perfette di oggetti animati, creati da cuori pulsanti e mani attente in un mondo che esiste solo per metà, che offre potenzialità che vanno oltre la semplice realtà, ma che si estingue allo spegnersi del computer. The colors are the component that has impressed me most: a colorful set, a sheet soiled with many colors that convey seemingly chaotic but, rather, a lucid harmony in the eyes of the beholder.
This is a psychedelic dream come true: the space takes shape, the influences blend and create a new "cyber art" that has nothing to envy to the sculptures and paintings of this world , the "real" world. My certainty takes shape when I get close to the box with the biographies of the artists and start to read: "The initial impact of curiosity 'and for this metaverse is' transformed over time with the desire to say something I also trying to create me an identity 'worth. This opportunity 'has given me the Build [...] " (from the biography of Solkide Auer). Thus we learn that both artists have developed their skills from courses followed in building world, courses that have allowed him to model, experiment and give life to objects that encapsulate all the love and care that only an artist can give his work of art.
Art in Second Life is really for everyone. Second Life itself is a work of art that comes from the commitment of all. I go up to a sun burn, but I do not feel heat, shines, but does not dazzle my eyes, it is close, but really so far away. Here is a real magic!
