      txt from: Extraordinary daily[article in italian]
      "If the mission of art has been to propose new ways of conceiving and feeling to everybody - and not to just a narrow circle of people - not just on special occasions but in everyday life, then it becomes necessary to think about the fact that maybe the art has completed his historic task. Better: design has taken charge of that task, and it is nowadays at the forefront in the job of displacement, erosion, activation, modulation on the edge between possible/impossible, real/surreal, daily/extraordinary."

      ArtFutura 2007 - The Next Web - 25-28 October
      Barcelona Alicante Cádiz Granada Madrid Murcia Palma de Mallorca San Sebastián Valladolid Vigo Vitoria Zaragoza The eighteenth edition of the festival of Digital Culture and Creativity that has become a point of reference in Spain will take place in more than eleven cities from the 25 to the 28 October with an extensive program that will explore the most important projects and ideas that have arisen on the international panorama of new media, interactive design, videogames and digital animation over the last 12 months.
      The 2.0 revolutions that have taken place over the last two years have completely changed the face of the Web. They have transformed it into a space of social participation and collective cooperation that the first theorists of cyber culture of the early 90s would never have imagined. However, along with the boom of participative social networks on the web, some of the original utopias that understood Internet as an opportunity to build a parallel and autonomous world with its own rules have also regained strength. Among those who are starting to form the rules of a Web 3.0 and those who continue to defend a net understood as a large forum for the social debate of our time, we are starting to see the beginnings of a next web.

      What Is Art and Why Does It Matter?

      What Is Art and Why Does It Matter? "is an online magazine that creates a forum for interpretive experimentation and gives a face to the people who make museums a vibrant presence in the world. This magazine is here because we all “know” that art is important, but do we always know why? Looking at art can provide a much needed refuge for reflection, sympathy, quietude, inspiration, and even ecstasy in this increasingly chaotic world. Looking further can deepen knowledge of cultures and artistic practice, develop and hone observational skills, reveal insights into history that other documents can't, and encourage creative, analytical, and autonomous thinking. Art can be funny, and it can make you cry, too. We want you to find a way in. And the best way to find a way into anything is to look closely and ask a lot of questions. Enjoy."
      Anna Hammond - Deputy Director for Education, Programs, and Public Affairs - Yale University Art Gallery - "What is art" magazine Contemporary art is estrangement, alienation, displacement that allow you to think, to see things. And/or "refuge for reflection, sympathy, quietude, inspiration, and even ecstasy in this increasingly chaotic world." I love art for that.

      John Baldessari (American, born 1931) - Solving Each Problem As It Arises, 1967 Acrylic on canvas, 67 3/4 x 56 1/2 in. (172.1 x 143.5 cm) - The Janet and Simeon Braguin Fund
      "This work is one of a small group of text and phototext paintings on canvas that Baldessari commissioned from a sign painter in 1967. His decision to use text in this work, not as decoration but as information, reflected his commitment to infuse reality into high art through didactic, confessional image making. Although the works in this series were drawn from textbooks, course lessons, and popular culture, Baldessari presented them on canvas in order to locate the logic of their creation within the context of painting. This work builds on the conceptual foundation of artists like Marcel Duchamp, who questioned methods of production in high art."
