Active Mindscape
Firenze, Liceo classico Machiavelli
paper, black paint, nails, cutouts, coloured yarns and steelwire
This artwork/happening was invented to create interaction with people and make them play by connecting words intuitively with a yarn wrench. The cutout words are only substantives/nouns and adjectives. leaving out verbs and all other kinds of conjunctions thus letting the mind invent these words intuitively as the 'player' goes along connecting the words that come to his attention when moving his eyes over the black area filled with words. Some of the words are encircled by a running figure made out of metal giving action and meaning to the artwork. As days passed the figure got filled out with the bright colored strings of yarn.
I later made another work of Monna Lisa with the purpose for the user to discover hidden secrets of this painting
