Perspectives Unveiled: Craig-Martin's Divine Reprieve

In the ethereal realm of artistic exploration, where visions of the past intertwine with the innovations of the present, Michael Craig-Martin emerges as a modern-day alchemist, weaving threads of tradition with the fabric of technological ingenuity. Amidst the digital tapestries of his creation, the Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca stands as both muse and enigma, beckoning him into a realm of divine punishment reprieved.

Guided by the tenets of perspective established by the architectural visionary Alberti, Craig-Martin embarks on a journey of reinterpretation, unravelling the mysteries concealed within Piero's masterpiece. Through the lens of his digital brush, the timeless narrative of Christ's suffering is transmuted into a symphony of shifting colours and forms, a testament to the fluidity of interpretation.

In 'Deconstructing Piero,' crafted in collaboration with the London-based design group AVCO, Craig-Martin harnesses the power of randomized algorithms to breathe new life into the age-old canvas. Here, within the confines of the digital realm, the figures of Piero's composition take on a life of their own, fading and re-emerging in a dance of temporal uncertainty.

Yet, amidst the ever-changing tableau, a deeper truth emerges—a truth rooted in the very essence of architectural form. In the geometry of Piero's composition, Craig-Martin finds a divine symmetry, a framework for punishment transmuted into redemption. As Craig Martin meticulously deconstructs Piero's work, the architecture emerges not merely as a physical backdrop but as a conduit for profound symbolism. It becomes the framework for punishment, the very essence of Christ's ordeal, yet also offers sanctuary, a haven for spiritual contemplation and redemption.

The architecture is extracted from its earthly bonds, elevated to a realm where temporal uncertainty reigns. It becomes a vessel through which the divine punishment is both depicted and reprieved, a testament to the enduring power of artistic interpretation and the transformative nature of perspective. Within this artistic realm, architecture transcends its earthly confines, morphing into a sanctuary of divine redemption.

Ma quanto è bella la notizia di questi giorni? 4 bimbi ritrovati sani e salvi in Colombia, dopo un incidente aereo che ha visto morire purtroppo, la loro mamma e i due piloti. Una storia incredibile davvero. I bimbi erano ormai dispersi da 40 giorni, nella jungla amazzonica. Un miracolo, come dicono tutti. Alla fine di ogni giornata di ricerca, quando scendeva la notte, gli indigeni volontari, che affiancavano nelle ricerche, i 150 militari delle forze speciali colombiane, celebravano riti e preghiere, per propiziare la riuscita della loro missione e ne erano convinti «i bambini sono in buone condizioni, perché gli spiriti si stanno prendendo cura di loro». Commuove pensare che, le forze speciali colombiane, durante tutta la ricerca, con l’ausilio del megafono, hanno diffuso la voce della nonna dei piccoli, che li rassicurava e li esortava a non muoversi. Quattro fratellini, la più grande di tredici anni, si è presa cura di tutti, anche del più piccolino di 11 mesi. I fratellini una volta ritrovati, hanno raccontato una storia piena di magia e speranza, dicono di essere stati salvati dagli alberi, che li hanno protetti e guidati insieme agli spiriti, proprio così come gli indios credevano e dicevano.
