our work focuses on perception phenomenons
and brain dynamism that enable us to retain
memories of our experiences and perceive mind
images, through which we can conceive an evolving
reproduction of the external
reality.
millions of images and sensations
fleeting sank into our cerebral cortex enable us,
also when keeping our eyes closed, alone in the
mute obscurity of our consciuosness, to imagine
what's happening around us.
our work
hypothesis is that in the next future there will
be machines capable to develop consciousness by
themselves and establish interaction and
adaptation to reality. the software of these
machines, as well as human mind, which is a
spontaneous phenomenon of the organic brain, will
be able to gain experience by itself, creating in
its 'mind' a dynamical reproduction of the
external reality with whom
interact.
machines able to develop a
spontaneous adaptive behaviour don't exist yet, so
we can demonstrate our thesis only involving
present computers in graceless or paradoxal
imitations of the human mind activity.
our
research tends to highlight the relations between
what we perceive as natural or artificial, and
also underlines the close interdependence linking
the materiality of the body to the evanescence of
the mind.
by following this route and
considering the similarities between mind images
and electronic images (they are both indefinite
and volatile) we decided to use for our production
of videos and electronic paintings only that our
videocamera perceives of the reality through its
electronic sensor.
that is to say an
artificial point of view of the nature around us,
but very similar to the way our brain perceive or
imagine
it.
