hiall
let me add some concepts
to what i intend to do with
"e-mail my body virtual tattoo" project
the xenofobia racial violence is often not only
in america latina. it happen in all over the world
btw man in general, but
it is exacerbated by technological change
inmerse in which we are:
the frontiers disolution in every order,
political, social cultural, generated a big lose of identity
, how sociologists antropologists known,
a big amount of violence is coming from these lose.
these violence often take forms of xenophobia, racism
y discrimination.
eye
i'm not saying that
xenophobia is a consecuence only of technological change.
xenophobia is older than foreings
like xenomania, in reverse,
which abound btw us too
current technological revolution
is concomitant to multiples diverses social
individuals movements, values beliefs
in which we are inmerse
change is the only firm today
nobody (specially from art) can be indifferent to changes
changes touch each of us
in direct or not direct ways
changes threathen us with an spiral of violence
which nobody knows where start or end
weare obligated to live in movement
(naked ascending or descending an starcase)
like artists we must to do pieces related
to technological revolution,
we must to use the tools of today
(to create not to destroy)
to reflect the new existencial condition
of changings leading us toward his tolerance
being a "foreing" in these lands
suffering the recents xenophobics attacs in these lands
i decide to create a simbolic action art of tolerance
with new technologies with foreing people
all of my contributors on the internet.
thus is why i decide to "cut" my body in bits pieces
send to you with tools like a scanner-computer e-mail
(material, conceptual metaforical)
what we have is an action art
basically a "virtual lacerament"
using a "virtual scarpelo"
a "virtual displacement" by e-mail
(toward computers lists --new tools--
of voluntary contributors linked against xenophobia
that is: they dont care that i'm a perfect foreing stranger,
or my color skin, or which is the languish i talk,
that are sited in citys towns of three countries);
it is a "skin virtual intervention" on which several artists
will do his own mark, or style, whatever this can be
like a signal that i accept all over my body
(the only thing over which i could have any private propiety)
it tell you (the world) that i don't reject any of you,
foreing people
it is a kind of "virtual re-construction"
we should intent to arm the body with tattooed pieces
in order to show the art process in all his sides
publishing a press dossier
a web site to be open permanently in constantly change
to which anyone could add new contributions
in a kind of permanently communion, dead resurrection
(the onlytrue form of art with no end)
of a body that looking at individual level seems to be me
but that at social level is a multiple expression
without care about who said what or how.
(it is possible that will happen replys
of the piece in other naked bodies in new
unexpected tools of the future)
so, we are talking about an expression of a human collective
(the starting point of a massive intercultural connection?)
i dont know, but actually i'm sure it is will be the expression
of a colecctive, changeable global "body"
that own to art in his more open concept
(today art is all that you can do)
to the whole planet with all nations cultures
where current violence is a quest of identity
a creative way to carry on with the losts.

permiteme agregar unos conceptos
a lo que intento hacer con este proyecto:
la xenofobia y el odio racial es comun no solo en latinoamerica,
diria que en el mundo, y entre los hombres en general,
pero esta se exacerba por las circunstancias
del cambio tecnologico en las que nos encontramos:
la disolucion de las fronteras en todos los ordenes,
politicos, sociales y culturales, genera una gran perdida de identidad
y, como saben los sociologos y antropologos,
(imagino que algunos habra en esta lista)
esta perdida es a su vez generadora
de una gran violencia, la cual se expresa en muchas formas
y conductas, entre ellas las xenofobas, racistas y discriminatorias.
ojo.
no echo la culpa de la xenofobia al cambio tecnologico
la xenofobia es tan vieja como los extranjeros
y como la xenomania, que es todo lo contrario,
y que tambien abunda entre nosotros
la situacion de revolucion tecnologica en la que nos encontramos
es concomitante a innumerables y diversos desplazamientos
sociales e individuales, de valores y creencias
en las que muchos nos encontramos.
hoy lo unico estable es el cambio
de ahi que nadie (mucho menos el arte)
puede permanecer indiferente ante ellas
pues le tocan a uno directa o indirectamente
y amenaza arrastranos en una espiral de violencia
que nadie sabe donde empieza ni donde termina
de modo que si nos toca vivir en movimiento
(desnudos bajando o subiendo una escalera)
como artistas se nos
