About the DIGITAL ARTS text
Changed space-text.
(Once erased)...
I had move in to NYC a week ago, and I had really have to get used to small spaces, and small spaces where to live is a matter that I haven't really dealt with before. Beyond this, I was trying to get something to storage my clothes, or building a house of nothingness.
I went to the container store (if that is the name) and could realize how many different kinds, sizes and materials of boxes were there. And more than this, how important is to people to get things inside boxes, but what for?
Make them last longer, clean up the space?
If the reason is to clean up the space, well, then what is the real space we have over here? Are we giving more importance to place things, more than place people?
In the other hand, if the reason is to preserve them, I guess we come back to the same idea: is not enough to control useful space (the space were we live in), but also the space we don't use?
So, here we come, trying to get all the space we can, now trying to control virtual as well (virtual art). Hundreds of boxes put together in one single space, containing things that we're probably never going to see again, or remind they even exist.
This same idea, which I take to the museums or collectors that preserve pieces of art inside them, works that haven't be seen for more people than the ones that had seen them inside books.
I can see it's a world of things, and I love this idea. Inanimated things all over, living inside our houses, using our closets, tables, cars, bodies. The things that are becoming to get alive, wake up from their boxes and live their lives.
Interesting mixture for one space that have to deal with animate and uninanimate "things", if we can put ourselves in the same level, since we give better treatment to these "things" than to people.
