this is a public space project in which i will draw the silhouette of the two big mountains in the streets of the bogota downtown. it will be a kind of projection of their shades. imagine having a huge sun projecting the shades of these mountains in the streets. could be even just a sort of hypothetical draw. first i will do it in a map, then i will do it in the streets.
just imagine the 22 second century here, in bogota, colombia. an oportunity to explore science fiction and changes.
lets change all this culture of lawyers by creating a super computer where all the code is systematized and people can just deal with a machine to deal with all the law procesess. at least the simple ones, for instance for creating a new enterprise, or a a company, or for creating a new radio station, or a tv channel. lets make it simple. a logic machine. that gives rights and land to all the citizens and can not be biased or corrupted or killed. something like that.
lets allow people to implement their mezclas and hybrids using new technologies. thru, perhaps we can not be a society of programmers or cutting edge electronic engineers, but we can assemble and create new things. colombianadas as somebody said.
after almost 2 years in the north, i am back to my natural septentrional latitudes. as in previous visits to colombia or previous returns, the feeling of time traveling to another technological age is conspicuous. time traveling to one of the most singular countries and cities i have ever been. of course, my original city is bogota. the convergence point for all the human diversity from the country. a city, recently cataloged as one of the worst to live in the world by an international study. these international studies always reveal some true that is hidden for the locals who live immersed in the routine. but the social injustice is evident here. as is also evident in some cities of the north. imagine for instance just the homeless people of central square in cambridge, massachusetts. however, here, in colombia, in bogota, some of these homeless people have been victims of the systematic violence that rules in the rural areas of colombia. paradoxically, colombia has beautiful and rich natural resources and landscapes, but the greed and ambition of the political rulers, drug dealers, landlords, and guerrillas, have transformed this land into a war arena. sadly indeed. specially because the story of the spaniards colonizers who displaced the indigenous people back in the sixteen century seem to keep happening. greed for gold and money without caring for the social equity, for the redistribution of resources, land, money, education.
