Analising a posible logical geometrical translation between dimensions and its elements.

Unansweral questions for Teresa Borasinos

Dutch artist Teresa Borasinos is collecting unansweral questions for his publication ‘1001 Random Questions’. I propose the following questions:  Is science art? Is art a science? How can science help us to understand the world? How can art help us to understand the world?

My little tribute to the Runneboom, a little bakery around the corner here in the neighborhood, that closed some months ago. First time I visited it one year ago to buy some French bread, the person who attended me was a very old sweet lady who wasn't able to speak English. I guess the owners just retired. Same thing happened I heard with a cozy ice-cream shop one block from the bakery. They say these Italian artisans delighted the amsterdamers until the early 90's, when a younger generation of ice-cream vendors took up again the business with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. However, the new ice-creams didn't have the same success. They say they've lost its "magic".

This is what I saw as soon as I went out of the Rotterdam Centraal railway station‎.

Hometown map

In my way back home for the weekend I sewed a map of my hometown constructed by my memories. I unstitched it in the way back, deconstructing my memories at the same time I was getting far from them. [See more here]

Interacting with the space.
The space is defined by a serie of light dots connected by lines. First on the ground, a square is drawn, and then it is projected into the wall. I create and destroy myself the space in which I was contained.

To a better understanding of life

How can art, next to science, help us to understand better life?


In this booklet from an exhibition at the Appel center there is a call for a behavior, for having curiosity and not trying to understand everything.
Artist David William, for example is showing in this exhibition at the Appel center a game designed to enter the complex idea of the fourth dimension. Not just mathematician and physicist but also artists and writers dealt with the fourth dimension concept in depth. It was the object of fascination between 1870 and 1920. Marcel Duchamp, advocate of the fourth dimension, and the cubists attempted to portray all sides of an object at once, as seen in the fourth dimension. Robert Smithson defined laughter as a fourth dimension and even Lewis Carrol wrote some books that incorporated the idea of the fourth dimension.

I find interesting the idea of the fourth dimension as a logical geometrical transition from the third dimension. But as an artist, "a mathematician is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there" (attributed to Charles Darwin)

The Gardenhouse

On march'09 I moved to The Netherlands to become the only inhabitant of the gardenhouse, an old house in a courtyard of Amsterdam. In this blog I collect works, inspiration sources, projects and my interactions with the city while living here, and how all this become the starting point of my current investigations as a visual artist.
