EPISODE 7 : LANGUAGE , LOGIC , SCIENCE

Zichichi a famous Italian physicist was asked to explain during a television comic programm what is science....
To do this he described the 3 the conquers of human intellect:

Language: witch is the medium to discover the collective and permanent memory
Logic: witch allowed to demonstrate at the same time the truth as well as the untruth of things
Science: witch allowed to discover the infinity

Thanks to Zichichi I then put some order in my research

Language, logic and science: the main questions

Delvaux,oil painting, evolution : the excuses to start a discourse

Time , memory , history : the units of measurement

EPISODE 6 : WHY EVOLUTION

There are 3 kind of things I'm interested in, witch I tried to resume in the word evolution :

* Nature’s structure and with it animals, plans, cell etc.
* Machine, in their aesthetic and the function
* And the fusion of animal machine and human being.

These are some how all creature witch could also been define by another substantive: MONSTER with monster I would like to put together all those things witch refer to unknown, mysterious, and kind of scaring. These kinds of things are unidentified but in the same time theirs "unfamiliarity" can became some how familiar.

EPISODE 5 : WHY OIL PAINTING?

There is a strange fascination in the observation of oil painting
the object are represented in their aesthetic and formal value
in their SOLIDITY , TANGEBILITY WEIGHT
John Berger explain it very clearly in the television series "Ways of seeing".
He shows how oil paintings have been used to show the richness of their owner, and beyond it their power. How the main goal in this painting was to impress with the beauty and the gauderies of the objects.
The analysis of Berger, goes then on a very different direction.

SOLIDITY, TANGEBILITY, WEIGHT
This are the element in witch I'm interested
the beauty of material , the precision in the description of a material , his texture , his perception, his aesthetic.

Going back to the Berger argument is important as second step to specify a second value witch stay behind the proper use and description of material.
As he distinguishes the technique of oil painting able to produce such an effect in the reproduction of the objects and this technique exerted to show a message behind the simple description of the object - for example in some Rembrandt or Vermeer paintings - witch have to do with "the mystery of time and light " as Berger said.

EPISODE 4 : WHY PAUL DELVAUX?

I should present the work of Delvaux simply describing it as: the synthesis.
especially in the method he use for the construction of his image , he is able to resume the concept of time, memory and perception.
This process defined by the critic Jean Clair: Membra Disjecta, starts from a little fragment not to create a discourse but to put new basis for the future, to use the reference directly as a part of his future view.
His language has the structure of the unconsciousness, his way of painting is mythological because of the repetition of gestures and have to do with the personal and archaeological time because of his relation with past.
In Delvaux the past is a strange disquieting and heritage witch is able to menace and rescue.

Delvaux is completely inside the history .his stories his way of telling are in the history there are past, present and future at the same time.
There is familiarity and inquietude, there are traditions and innovations at the same time
is the representation of realty, of real .Not of beauty or ugly not good or bad just a personal point of view.

EPISODE 2 : SAMMELSURIUM

As I tried to explain before it will be a collection of many different pieces.
Because this research is quite complex, first of all is important for my to find a method and a possible shape of what will be the result.
Some weeks ago I found a book witch embody the method I would like to apply to my research.
It's cold Sammelsurium and it's a miscellany witch collects a lot of different and useless or essential information.
The information are pretty diversifies and varies, and the order in witch they are disposed is incomprehensible.
The are some different books witch Schott wrote, some deal only with particular topics as for example food, the one I'm speaking about is about life, and lots of strange and less strange information you may need in your life.
Even if it seems only to provide information, as an encyclopaedia there is a sort of narration in the book.Further more he used different ways of describing: pictures, texts, and graphics.
