Imagination May Lead Us Along A Path Of Dreams And Associations, Transforming Our Thoughts In Response

Imagination may lead us along a path of dreams and associations, transforming our thoughts in response to some perception; or it may focus on the presented object, transforming our perception in response to our thoughts. Just where wine is situated between these two exercises of our imaginative powers is one of the deep questions that all winos must ask, if they are to understand their dear companion. Is wine like daydreams or like art? Does it point inwards to our subjective impressions and memories, or outwards to the world – bringing order as Tintoretto, Wordsworth or Mozart brought order, by reshaping the objects of our perception?

Cuando de proteger la biodiversidad se trata, cualquier otro valor debe quedar subordinado a los resultados provisionales de la investigación inteligente y cooperativa, a la valoración en caso de conflicto, a la revisión y al consecuente reacomodo del sistema de valores característico de una racionalidad práctica y crítica. Tras el último siglo de serios destrozos en la biosfera, quizá no quepa aspirar a otra cosa que a ser mejores predecesores y evitar que las generaciones futuras nos reprochen que la cortedad de nuestros intereses y de nuestras lealtades haya sido más fuerte que nuestra obligación de cuidar la biodiversidad y procurar su continuidad. Un ambiente con facebook, twitter y skype, pero sin ranas, sin manatíes o sin monos araña es decididamente un ambiente de valor menguante.

Orticanoodles is the pseudonym of two italian artists from Milan (IT). Wally and Alita in their laboratory, situated in the Ortica district in Milan, work with stencil technique to create drawings, handmade posters and paste up. In their graffiti the faces of “celebrities” are stripped to the bone in a Pop vision, that appear in the streets of all Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona) and fill the greys spaces of the cities. Art above all, especially on the walls!

The primary task, I feel, is to create a piece of art that is better than the same amount of silence...
