In this workshop, references will be made to the image as a universal means of communication, spanning from conventional media to artificial intelligence. The trace as a psychogram.
Art, image, has no boundaries; it is universal, timeless, and understood by everyone. It is a score of memory, the ability of imagination. When art roars, borders disappear.
Based on the dominance of the image, from antiquity to the present, the trace continues to transmit memories from the past to the present and future, evolving memory from conventional to digital and artificial intelligence, to global communication.
Humans, driven by the need for contact and communication, discovered the trace as a recognizable medium, leaving behind symbols that reflected their experiences of existence. The trace is a psychogram.
Today, in the era of virtual reality and its evolution into artificial intelligence, we manage global information by shortening processing time.
We are living in the most critical era of human civilization, because art, with the trace taking center stage, records its own truth.
Art speaks plainly, and its images do not pretend; they are what they are. With its greatest tool, imagination, it pushes you to see things differently. First to imagine, and then to take action. Because change comes when we decide that scales will abandon their natural size chaotically, reaching an excess. After all, after excess comes rebirth; the new is born. The brain is a fierce quantum processor.
Because art itself is a revolutionary act, involving transcendence, tragedy, freedom. The role of the Arts is to underscore in memory the past, present, and future, for the beyond of our culture, traversing the universe.
We live in a changing era…
