The joint laboratorial process will revolve around a range of techniques reflecting the two duos art practices and methodologies, VestAndPage and Andrigo&Aliprandi.
PERCEPTION OF THE SELF
Would you stand with me and hold my hand?
The problem of our time is not only due to the crisis of the reason, but also to a spurious knowledge that is overtaking wisdom, while culture is surrending to technology. Therefore what we do and record seems to be of lesser value because the increasing mediatic power of the machine is reducing our perception of the reality and of our Self. But having an accurate self-perception and understanding about our values and what influences us, is a prerequisite to creatively respond to what we recognise as detrimental, hurtful or prejudicial.
To improve self-perception is vital to perceive the other accurately. It widens reciprocal dialogue. It enforces imagination, because to perform is also to imagine all of us as a people, a people of hope who yearn for visions, a people who believe in themselves as well as believe in everyone else, all accepting aspects of one another, progressive, open spirits who effortlessly search for evidence and compassion, even though many are still driving for that materialistic bullshit, yearning to better and out do, trying to succeed even when the concept of success is surpassed, people whose lives are built on rage or science of a systematic stain — delayed evolution, in need of a revival.
Eventually, imagine death. Can you see it? It's like staring at the sun. You can only see it at eyes closed.
Now imagine life. What does it look like?
