fenomeni. Penso che la presentazione visiva di un’idea è la struttura principale dell’ <strong>art</strong>e.<br />

Questo è il primo passo al quale invito lo spettatore. I riferimenti e le informazioni che<br />

circondano le opere d’<strong>art</strong>e rappresentano in p<strong>art</strong>e il mio interesse a realizzarle ed anche<br />

l’invito allo spettatore verso una nuova area. Se non si aveva conoscenza del Corbis o di<br />

Baghdad Battery, forse ho catturato il vostro interesse a saperne di più su questo?<br />

F. L. – Paper Clip è davvero grande. Che effetto potrebbe avere la scoperta<br />

elettricità in quel momento e in Medio Oriente?<br />

C. A. -Dal momento che questo argomento è il punto chiave per la graffetta (Le batterie di<br />

Baghdad) sono restii a tentare di rispondere a questa domanda. In primo luogo, la<br />

questione è quello che mi ha fatto fare questo pezzo. Portare la questione in un’altra<br />

direzione, proprio come una piega della mente, come la questione: che cosa avevano visto<br />

nel potere di questa scoperta (o di salto evolutivo, se si vuole), come mai non fu<br />

sviluppata ulteriormente ? O forse qualcuno intendeva fermarli? Sono felice per le<br />

risposte.<br />

English Version<br />

F. L. – Francesco Lucifora “Three<br />

steps to Rockfeller” st<strong>art</strong>s from the<br />

poem “Evolution” written by Nils<br />

Ferlin in the 1930. What do you<br />

think about the concept <strong>of</strong><br />

evolution and what personal idea<br />

you have about the relation<br />

between evolution and real life?<br />

C. A. – Christian Andersson The human<br />

evolution can be divided into two<br />

p<strong>art</strong>s; when evolution was changing<br />

humans, and when humans st<strong>art</strong>ed to<br />

change the evolution. One <strong>of</strong> the main<br />

reasons the world today looks the way<br />

it does is because humans have taken<br />

over the role as The Evolution. We now<br />

feel we are in charge <strong>of</strong> this planet,<br />

and the main interest in our human<br />

progress is the progress per se. We<br />

have to keep ruling, defining and<br />

tuning the world around us. The aim in<br />

all this is very vague and one is<br />

tempted to think that it is programmed<br />

in us, in our genes. What the poem<br />

“Evolution” by Nils Ferlin is spelling out<br />

is this forced evolution taken over by<br />

man. Going from the Rock, through The Fire and The Angling Worm (where we already in<br />

two steps have st<strong>art</strong>ed dominating the world around us), we end up (after Three Steps) in<br />

the position <strong>of</strong> Rockefeller. On the top <strong>of</strong> the world, still wanting more.<br />

F. L. – What kind <strong>of</strong> intentions you had when you thought about these important<br />

archives?<br />

C. A. – My intention was double; I wanted to visualise something hidden, like these<br />

archives and what’s kept inside <strong>of</strong> them, but I wanted to do this in a way relating to the<br />

fact that the information in these buildings is in fact hidden. I chose to do this by<br />

presenting a model giving the spectator a very limited view <strong>of</strong> the space, like a reversed<br />

panopticon. I imagined this would create a frustration over the fact that you can’t get an<br />

overview <strong>of</strong> what is going on in these models, which mirrors how these archives work in<br />

real life.<br />
