cypher number 17 - DALLAS
From the series “Code”, oil and graphite pencil
on paper, 30 x 30 cm . ORIGINAL SOLD.
A map is an
imprint, a sign of man in the landscape. An alien intelligence, observing our
cities from the great distances of the space, could interpret them as the
characters of an alphabet, sort of messages, a code of signs, each one different
from the other, each with its own meaning and its own syntax. This hypothetical
alien presence may not even realize that these cities have a purpose and a
function, which are the product of the way we have adapted to live on this
planet, but it could engage in an attempt to interpret this unknown language,
identifying the alphabet and associating to each character a precise meaning.
We will still be able to understand and share this new meanings, or will they have
lost any sense for us?
