L’ultimo Dio

source: highlike

Work: L’ultimo Dio (The last God) is a project which explores the psychological aspects of the individual, a work on human consciousness, examining ontological and anthropological principles, analyzing the depth of the self as being. Self-consciousness and introspection related to processes such as the intellect proves to be the main place where it produces insight which is also the basic principle of knowledge, above reason, which simply acts as a tool and shows an intuitive and universal order. The anatomical identity of the individual, in order of levels, fades into the background. It is the human mind that has the ability to offer a legitimate contribution to empower and give answers to the last available call to which we are now forced to answer, and reality is the area which provides concrete meaning that is at the basis of the existence of the infinite, through a code generator and reproducibility: the fractal. Nature is full of examples, this process of self-similarity that unites the entire universe creates a unique language that is repeated throughout its structure and in the same way on different levels. Recent studies have extrapolated and explored the human genome in high resolution and in three dimensions. It is a harmonious and elegant sculpture derived mathematiccally that we find in ubiquity around us in the form of code. It is also considered that somehow fractals correspond with the structure of the human mind, which is why people find them so familiar. The project is comprised of images in b/w retrieved from digital archives.

Born in Italy, lives and work in Rome. Is specialised in the visual arts, where his investigation is mainly developed by analyzing the nature of the image and its perceptual mechanisms. The use of photography, technical and conceptual actions using archival images, employing a philosophical approach to the image in the form of visual installations are the main features of his work. Philosophers (William of Ockham), mathematicians (René Descartes), or anonymus figures (Luther Blissett) inform his work. To the artist what matters is the dissemination of meaning, paradox, the conditions of perceptive alteration and a new conceptual design. A kind of displacement metaphysical, or deviation. As regards the practical aspect, Teotino analyzes the development and deepening of adopted language, be it photographic, installation or retrieved images, with the purpose of diverting the possibilities of the instrument itself to new technical applications. In close correlation with this process is the emphasis placed on thought within the work, in which the investigation of the figure shows a conceptual outcome as the result of historical idiosyncrasies which concern philosophy on the one hand and science on the other, as the social and paranormal aspects of man are investigated. In 2012 Eyemazing Printed Magazine, winner of the prestigius “Lucie Awards”, publish the project sistema di riferimento monodimensionale (one-dimensional coordinate system), which in 2011 received a special mention from the jury of Talent Prize, In the same year he declined an invitation to participate in the Italian pavilion of the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale for the 150th anniversay of Italian unification, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi.

Lamberto Teotino (Napoli, 1974) vive e lavora a Roma. Si diploma all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. La sua indagine si sviluppa principalmente sull’analisi e la natura dell’immagine, esaminando i suoi meccanismi percettivi. Le caratteristiche principali dell’opera sono l’utilizzo della fotografia, gli interventi tecnico-concettuali su immagini d’archivio e gli approcci filosofici dell’immagine in forma di comunicazione visivo-installativa. Per quanto concerne l’aspetto pratico, la sua ricerca analizza lo sviluppo e l’approfondimento del linguaggio, adottato con lo scopo di dirottare le possibilità dello strumento stesso verso nuove applicazioni tecniche. Nel 2012 la rivista Eyemazing, vincitrice del prestigioso premio “Lucie Awards”, pubblica il progetto Sistema di riferimento monodimensionale, con il quale nel 2011 Lamberto Teotino riceve anche la menzione speciale della giuria del Talent Prize.

Lamberto Teotino ir dzimis Romā, un 2002. gadā absolvēja Venēcijas Mākslas akadēmiju. Viņš ir specializējies vizuālajā mākslā un viņa darbi pārsvarā balstās uz attēlu pētīšanu. Pēta valodas attīstību padziļināšanos, lai to pielāgotu jauniem tehniskajiem instrumentiem. Pēc Teotino uzskatiem, objekta pētīšana piedāvā konceptuālu iznākumu, kura vienā pusē atrodas vēsturiskās un psiholoģiskās īpatnības, bet otrā pusē – zinātne. Tāpat pēta arī cilvēku sociālos un paranormālos aspektus. 2011. gadā saņēma balvu no Talent Prize žūrijas par savu darbu „Sistema fi Riferimento Monodimensionale” jeb „vienas dimensijas koordinātu sistēma”. Gadu laikā viņa izstādes ir tikušās atklātas tādās pilsētās, kā Brisele, Florence, Madride, Milāna, Parīze, Roma, Turīna un Venēcija.
