"Calcoli improbabili" (ComPUSter n.02)

0.0 x 0.0

Ready-made, assemblage, mixed media (mainly wood, iron, organic materials ) + videoart n. 6 free-standing installations; each about cm 200 height × 100 width x 150 deep Date Completed: 2017 ComPUSter is a set of six installations based on informal/conceptual art, mixed with videoart. Each installation works as a fully-equipped audiovisual module. The focus on performance, the integration of organic materials (such as oxen brains under resin) and the use of video expand the concept of ready-made to new and unexplored horizons. Concept: ComPUSter is about the decomposition of both organic and mechanical matter, showing at the same time the obsolescence of materials and the obsolescence of minds, ideas and cultures. Old computers and proto-industrial machines joins the brand new computers in the same destiny: the inevitability of decline and oblivion. Within the common concept, each ComPUSter is a unique representation of a different idea. n.2 Calcoli Improbabili  Concept: Science and philosophy, the two greatest systems that have governed the fate of humanity for over two millennia, have proved false and questionable. What is true today will not be tomorrow; and delegate to science the explanation of reality is an illusion, because the reality changes with the opinions that we express on it. It is therefore perfectly plausible that the equation "1 + 15" makes "cow", and the (un)Probability Calculator represents the most advanced instrument of approximation to the ultimate truth.
