Greetings from my computer

This is a pic from an exhibition in Milan, in 2005, unfortunately I don`t remember the author but the idea to show this photo is to express my current state of mind. I`m really too much time connected to the machine. I`m waiting for a break from the computer because something strange is happening with my brain, I imagine posts, links, websites. The virtual world occupies all my imagination.

Another window

The space time vehicle brought me today to the far place from the old times journey. I have been traveling without the Internet connection for a long time. Many years before I joined the virtual world.

The news of this week is that I published the small selection of hypertext based art on my site for the thesis. If you want you can have a look in here - Selection of hypertext based art.

Selfie of the computer error

There is no reason to connect all nodes, something should be disconnected and maybe even isolated. This is only a computer error in my folder.

Organic map

Refreshing my interior design

It is not that I have to just buckle down, there is something worrisome in the air. Everything around sounds better and more amusing then the undone universe of pages.

This is how jodi.org `s file acts on my desktop, I downloaded it in 2008, but is still makes an impression on me. Postcard from the Internet :)

Liquid picture

1 min or less and 7 min

Time metters. Few years ago I made a selection of short videos on youtube, they aren`t narrtive movies but only pictures, kind of photos with sound and some movement but always in the same shut cat. They are about having fun in lunapark which is very colorful and looks amusing but truth be told it isn`t any great fun like it should be. It is a machine, very repetitive and made of plastic. 

Every moving picture has a duration of 1 minute or less.

To make this hypertext map took 7 minutes which is exactly the time of duration of the video Hypertext is an abstract painting.

What a messy mess !

To be intuitive and ordered at the same time is a challange. Things come easly when you trust your intuition and natural taste of colours but it doesn`t always go with the concept and 'good order' of composition. The concept is very important but is it possible to develop it well without an intuition ?

Empty airport on Sun morning

Silence and peace, finaly, only low volume of jazz music from the other corner of the airport. Actually there are some departures but for some reason the airport is empty, where are all these people, they all disapeared... only one cafe is open, the light is bright and very positive thoughts come to my mind. Awesome experience, nobody disturbs me, very enjoyable moments in peace. 

The only one strange thing is that there is no art on this airport, even one installation or sculpture to take a photo, completly nothing, only signs that remind me of an historical piece history of art for airports.

Escape through the internet

When there is no way of escape possible, when the reality is more grey then the concrete and everything seems more surreal then in old paintings and you feel that you are incorporated in the system and can't find yourself in it, you can always escape through our computer. 

Don't ask me why do I think that hypertext is an abstract painting, it realy is. Maybe yet another illusion, maybe just an answer to too many questions. For more info visit the project site Hypertext is an abstract painting - project. I let the computer talk in esperanto to explain what is the connection between hypertext and abstract painting about.

Dengerous space

Mapping virtual spaces requires some self-awareness. I created lately a map of my microhypertext called site map Map of my microhypertext. It is very simple and includes some pages that I made recently like Frominternetwithlove and others. This is only my piece of a  virtual space. 

Creating online is a challange and sometimes it can be amusing. It can become dengerous when you want to be in.

Fresh style is not always enough. There is a hope that one day we will come back.  

The invisible wall

Why do we build walls ? 

There is nothing better then a big wall which gives you the possibility to comunicate,  dream and desire. The world is made of walls, they are everywhere, in the real life, in cities, in private houses and even on the Internet. Very often happens that you let win your curisity and you break the wall but on the other side there is nothing diffrent, nothing new, same thing. Some walls should never be broken because the world without walls won`t exist. Just a small reflection for this sad and grey morning.
