Weekly Inspiration - “The New World” - Micaela Lattanzio

After the success of Fragmenta, a series dedicated to the solitude of contemporary times, characterized by the image fragmentation and highlighting women issues in our century, the artist proposes a new series titled “New Worlds”, this time looking directly at the relationship between man and nature, and the impact that our society has on the environment in a close relationship between microcosm and macrocosm. Micaela Lattanzio’s work is characterized by its peculiar compositional technique, but this time the creative gesture is aimed to reconstruction, not to image fragmentation, where it was previously dissolved.

 Photography has a macroscopic matrix, thanks to the use of satellite software, that allows to take aerial photographs of the earth, the artist de-builds the image in small colored dots, which are used as three-dimensional pigments to reconstruct abstract views that resemble planets, new worlds, and unpublished molecular aggregates seen in the microscope. The artist draws the geopolitical boundaries of the Earth, and nature, dominated by human action, reapplies its spaces.

 Micaela Lattanzio explores socio-political themes such as overpopulation and globe desertification, asking a fundamental question: what is the impact that our society has on the environment? The series is not a criticism, but rather a reflection on understanding the world, human being is an integral part of a complex system that is facing an evolutionary process in which it is imperative to find a necessary equilibrium.

Movie Feedback

1. The film focuses on copyright and the fight between the creative minority and corporate majority. RIP delivers a fiercely persuasive message to its audience. Copyright law is enabling the ongoing privatization of contemporary culture to the detriment of society; and that the open exchange of creative content is pivotal for continued community growth in the digital era.What do you think about current law of Copyright? Personally, I agree with the film's statement, Copyright law is enabling the ongoing privatization of contemporary culture to the detriment of society, and that the open exchange of creative content is pivotal for continued community growth in the digital era. A healthy public domain does a great deal to support creativity and science. Copyright is a government-granted monopoly, without limitations, this monopoly can consume everything, making it so that hardly anything, no matter how seemingly unique, is not an infringement. 2. Remember the Gaylor's manife...

Weekly Inspiration - Flatland II By Aydın Büyüktaş

Image
https://www.aydinbuyuktas.com/?page_id=1572 Aydın Büyüktaş, inspired by the book of  Edwin Abbat “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions” created his series called “Flatland” , in which he sets the foundations of a dimension where a space of surprises creates a space that creates suprises. We live in places that most of the times don’t draw our attention, places that transform our memories, places that the artist gives another dimension; where the perceptions that generally crosses our minds will be demolished and new ones will arise.    These works aims to leave the viewer alone with a surprising visuality ironic as well,multidimensional romantic point of view. While I was reading “Hyperspace” the book of Michio Kaku, he was using examples from “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions” of Edwin Abbot. I discovered the book like this. I was very impressed by the book written in 1884 exemplifying the difficulties in comprehending the way of interconnecting the dim...
