art vs advertising

serraglia — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:17:04 +0000

Art or Advertising?

…they call “creative advertising”

Industry
uses
all kind of media
to reach consumers’ attention.

A peace of ART
can
inspire people to search meaning of life
give life a deeper meaning

A peace of ADV
can
inspire people to consume stuff
give life a superficial meaning
/
L’industria
usa tutti i mezzi a disposizione
per cogliere l’attenzione
del consumatore.

L’arte
può
ispirare le persone a cercare il significato della vita
dare alla vita un significato più profondo

La pubblicità
può
ispirare le persone a consumare cose inutili
dare alla vita un significato superficiale

A collection of images with repeated objects /2

serraglia — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 08:32:30 +0000

You can just repeat the same things
or
you can repeat several details by the same
colour
shape
function
etc..

This is a pure expression of the imagination:
“to repeat” things.
/
Puoi ripetere lo stesso oggetto
o
ripetere diversi dettagli con lo stesso
colore
forma
funzione
ecc..

Questa è una pura espressione della fantasia:
“ripetere” oggetti.

experiments

serraglia — Mon, 25 May 2009 19:00:09 +0000

An artist (sometimes) is like an explorer:
making experiments with
lights,
colours
materials
techniques
shapes
et cetera…

why is doing this?
because he wants to define new form of language.

The real artist – the language explorer – should report us what he has discovered through his research, through his art-works.
he should communicate, through his art-work, what he can see and feel:
it means to make us more sensitive on what we normally pay no attention to.
/
L’artista (a volte) è come un esploratore:
fa esperimenti con
luci
colori
materiali
tecniche
forme
et cetera…

perché tutto questo?
perché vuole definire nuove forme di linguaggio.

Il vero artista – l’esploratore dei linguaggi – dovrebbe continuamente esplorare forme di linguaggio sconosciute ed arrivare ad una profonda conoscenza e consapevolezza di esse
comunicandoci
attraverso la sua opera
quello che ha scoperto
raccontandoci quello che è riuscito a vedere
cercando di renderci più sensibili a ciò che siamo indifferenti….

Renaissance artist used images of “contemporary” architecture as background of their painting.
How could a Renaissance artist react to our cities build in the name of economic benefit and rationality?
This is a possible interpretation…
