Caro Takis, ho rievuto la tua mail, la tua proposta è molto interessante, ho apprezzato il tuo commento sull'opera di Stefano Cruano mio caro Amico e concittadino, è davvero un grande!, mi piace la tua positività e il tuo invito a credere che "l'arte può cambiare il mondo", lo condivido. Sono interessato a fare parte del tuo progetto, ti invierò i miei dati al più presto. se puoi nel frattempo inviami informazioni più dettagliate a riguardo. Grazie!
Hi Takis, tank you for your invitation and excuse me for the delay of my answer.
Yes, Id be interested in taking part in that exibition. Can you send me details? Musi I write mail to the address prfalex@otenet.gr Thank you, Elena
Correcting the mistakes in typing, excuse me!
Dear Takis,
the discussion at the last few days shows me again, that Friendship and Love are the most valued assets next to the human dignity and we have to deal with Friendship and Love very carefully and in a well-considered way. They should not be simply deleted.
Sending Love
Diana
Dear friends,
thank you for the discussion, that finally returns to an amicable communication.
To my mind, we are able to bring forward arguments , good and bad, for and against everything in our life, as Manousos Nanakis, Ciaran Magill and others wrote.
How quickly and simply we may communicate with friends and colleagues all over the world, like here in Celeste, but how quickly and simply all the dangerous ideas and ideologies disserminate in the internet.
How quickly and efficiently the internet helps us or our children to learn. But what happens if a boy in the age of 12 has been addicted to computer games.
Most of our children are not able to see the red light. Therefore we all and especially we artists are responsible to give the new technologies a chance helping to solve all the immense problems in the world and make a “better place”. And also will help us even the small things, when we share them with Honesty, Friendship and Love with the others, a SMILE for example…
Allways with love Takis,
heartly your Diana.
We have been, all of us, through some difficult moments the last few days… This is what moods are all about… FEELINGS that we can really share one another, were missing… Most of all, my dear Friend Brendan, a real HUG (with no misunderstandings!!!) to share with you… A real HUG that even a thousand honest written hugs can never replace…
There are so many shadows in this world, please don’t add yours too… You are a very promising young Man and Artist… So if you wish my Friendship, let me see your SMILING Face again… Yours Takis
Dear Gertie,
Thank you very much for your interest in the subject and the suggested bibliography. I already knew most of the books. For the rest I'll have a close look. Thank you once more.
Nice to hear from you… Unfortunately for all of us, “socialism” was a premature miss birth and “capitalism” is a dying old (wo)man… This seems to be our time, what can we do?
As you may noticed I studied in the Technical University of Dresden, during the years of DDR (East Germany), during the years of “socialism” and I know very well, besides the good side of it, what you mean when you are talking about Restriction and “Isolation”… 1967 I was to be deported to Siberia, for not keeping my mouth shut… But Life is beautiful even with small things, when you share them with Honesty and Love with the others, a SMILE for example…
Natalia Mramorova said:
"Hello! I wish to show some reasons on this question.... We artists all very different in character, temperament, on aesthetic predilections..... As to me personally..... I, which all am 24 hours in the workshop and is very frequent unique my interlocutors my works, pictures when I enter into the Internet are, I open for myself very many... I rejoice to it! For example, in селесте has opened many good artists, they are interesting to me.Вы know that we, Russian, long time were in isolation from other world, I with surprise notice that Russian art has played the big role in the general tendency of development of world art.... I observe echoes of Russian design of 20th years of the XX-th century, V.Kandinsky's influence in some works, Walked, Malevich and many other things.... In other words, thus we are gradually integrated into your Western world, and you comprehend ours. ... In it, at least for me, the Internet positive side.... I apologise for my English.... With love... Natalia"
Dorothy is right, we can easily argue either side of this debate but I lean more towards the views of Brendan and Yagama.
We can interpret a positive or a negative into all aspects of technology, both from an historical perspective and a also contemporary standpoint. It is both good and bad, but we should not live in fear of it, let us concentrate on the positive aspects and build upon these to help make the world a better place for all.
As I already said, there is no Dialogue in private! Dialogue can take place only in public…
Brendan Jamison said again:
"Dear Takis,
Thank you for your response. You seem to have made some false assumptions in youri nterpretation of my response and therefore I must apologise for not making my points crystal clear to you. Therefore I
feel I need to reiterate some issues and will do so as I address your points.
1. I draw upon your quote: " my real world, a world with flesh and
bones, a world with feelings and thoughts, a world of smelling real
flowers, a world with endless nights looking at the moon and the stars
from a roof, eating, drinking and talking with real Friends about the
mysteries of Life, seems to be unknown to you…" Unknown to me? What a
false assumption! This is my world too, I may be younger than you at
30 years of age but I still enjoy the poetic and romantic vision that you have just outlined. I regularly discuss the mysteries of life and
death with all my friends over lunch and dinner, from the ancient philosophers of Socrates and Plato, the Sufi mysticism, the Eastern
perspectives of Buddhism and Hinduism and also the current trends in global politics. I simply stated that the internet is a good tool for communication and yet you seem determined to polarise this argument,
offering not a balanced perspective but rather one of extreme negativity and even hosility towards the internet.
Might I remind you that I clearly stated that " I think we would all agree that the friendships and fabricated worlds that exist exclusively in cyberspace can never replace the physical and
metaphysical dimensions of our existence within a real world of interaction and unconditional love." Therefore how did you assume from this statement that I favoured a virtual world over the real world?
Your response is quite baffling. I think my thoughts are very clear on
this issue. I love the real world, I would never trade it for a world
of cyberspace.
2. I think when an individual is so entrenched in their own views they can fail to see anything but the negative and this can blind them. I
too have taught University students, both in America and Ireland and always encouraged them to form a balanced argument,weighing up both the positive and the negative before presenting a conclusion.
I completely agree with you that the creation of weapons of war have been devastating on a global scale and yes I am completely aware that
this agenda has pushed forward technological advancements. However,
technological advancements in the fields of medicine and in particular operating procedures have been hugely beneficial. Many more lives are now saved or the quality of lives are improved thanks to advancements in technology in this field. My own Mother recently had to get a metal knee implanted to enable her to walk, this surgery would not have been possible 100 years ago. Therefore I praise this aspect of technology on the one hand and naturally condemn the destructive nature of it on the other.
Finally, to offer another more positive perspective I would like to quote a recent headline from the German newspaper Deutsche Welle on 23 September 2009:
"British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says his government is willing to
cut the number of nuclear submarines to support US President Barack Obama's nuclear disarmament initiative".
Now I know you will probably still read a negative interpretion into
this and so I will just state now for the record that ideally I would like an end to all nuclear weapons and all other destructive technologies but one day at a time, step by step....it is still progress in the right direction...the intentions of these particular leaders does seem to be good.
3. Of course I have been affected by the current financial crisis and
currently have no income at the moment but I live in hope that things
will improve again soon and some economies are beginning to stengthen
a little. However, the one good element that came out of this crisis is that it brought the world leaders a lot closer together to try to solve this crisis as one. But obviously this sense of working together needs to be extended to solving all of the world's problems and
interestingly CNN recently reported that President Obama stated at an address to the United Nations earlier this week that:
"Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges," he said. "If we are honest with ourselves, we need to admit that we are not living up to that
responsibility."
Obama cited issues such as terrorism, long-running conflicts, nuclear
proliferation, climate change, poverty and pandemic disease, then
added: "The magnitude of our challenges has yet to be met by the measure of our action."
I think Barack Obama is a wonderful leader for America and I love his
intentions to make the world a better place. He brings much hope and
optimism in a time when the world is crying out for it.
Perhaps Taxis you should consider entering the political arena as you
may not be able to change peoples' minds through the art world alone?
4. With regard to your statement on OFFENSIVE COMMENTS where you argued: "Since when polite questions and dialogue are abusive,offensive and negative???"
Might I remind you of what I actually stated about why computer programmers put the delete function on, "this can enable the user to remove offensive comments or abuses that another user may produce. Now thankfully ON CELESTE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR but
abusive offensive negative communication can and does occur on OTHER SITES and therefore I think it is a good idea to enable the deletion of such material. This is not an opposing view to democracy, it is
simply not helpful to leave something deeply offensive on the web that
could cause pain and suffering to another human being."
Now obviously you have failed to grasp this point and therefore I have to be more explicit for you to understand. Artists can sometimes get sexually abusive messages on their personal websites, and the tone is far from the idealised 'polite' position that not everyone adopts. A broader understanding of the internet would reveal this to you.
A close and very dear friend of mine in Ireland, Emma, also on Celeste, had to delete her entire comments page on her own personal website because of the negative actions and deeply offensive sexual
harrassment of a few people that spoiled it for all those leaving as you describe 'polite'comments. This is just one example but I hope it makes my point more clear. However, the overwhelming majority of internet users are very good people and completely non-offensive. Only a very small percentage can spoil it for the rest of us. But let us not dwell on that.
Actually I should also note that terrorists also use the internet to spread fear and panic, if you had the power to delete such sites would you do so? Or would you remain in the position of an idealised
democracy of complete free speech, irrespective of the consequences?
Where do you draw the line Taxis?
I stand by my belief that the delete function is neccesary. We need to
delete as much evil and negativity from this world so as to leave a more positive planet for the future generations. I hope by the time I reach your age that the world will be a more peaceful and happier
place and I will do everything in my power, in the little ways that I
can to help achieve this goal.
5. Takis in your response you have stated: "FEAR OF DIGITAL AGE: Do we have any knowledge of how many people have been killed, how many villages and cities have been totally burnt out during the last twenty (20) years of this glorious digital era???"
Gosh this is so negative, it is actually beginning to drain me. Have you read "The Art of Happiness" by HH Dalai Lama and the American
psychiatrist Howard C Cutler? It certainly helped me shift my
perspective into a more hopeful positive frame of mind that could be benefit to others.
Ok, firstly, I did not describe the digital era as "glorious" and do not label it as such, it is simply a term for where we are currently located at our point in human development.
Secondly, with great sadness, human beings have engaged in conflict for 1000s of years. This digital era can not be blamed for all the conflict in this world, such a claim would be hard to ground in any solid argument.
6. Finally I am intrigued by your statement "and of course with real Facts and not groundless interpretations and words without any meaning!"
Are you suggesting my words have no meaning? All viewpoints are equally valid, although we differ on some points I still respect your views and would request that you grant me that same honour.
May we all make the world a happier place, in whatever way that we
can...one little bit at a time, step by step....
Sending smiles,
Brendan"
Dear Mr Takis Alexiou,
I am Enzo Briscese, painter, gallery owner and events organizer, very interested in a cultural exchange: I would like to know more about the artistic reality in which you are acting in order to have the possibility of an eventual
future cooperation.
Therefore I would like to know if you can provide catalogues, advertising magazines, and which is your proposal, furthermore I would like to get the costs and all other details, and if it is necessary to get part at your events too.
I have read your message about exhibition event at end of the next year and I would ask you to send me more information.
I thank you in advance for your reply and I confirm you here below my address:
Galleria Ariele

"As to "Just by push......", even without deep deliberation on the topic I can say what I see in real life(as far as already people talking about virtual life.
My friends who were carried away with all sorts of computer & internet entertainments, they have changed considerably over the last 10 years.
They have lost skill of real here & now communication with alive people.
A mere conversation at cup of coffee became a torture. They don't look at your eyes, don't hear you, speak absurdity.
It's sad and scaring."
Thank you Brendan, Yagama and Dorothy for giving me the opportunity to start a Dialogue… But, as you know, there is no Dialogue in private! Dialogue can take place only in public, in “Agora”… and of course with real Facts and not groundless interpretations and words without any meaning!
I well understand that what I wrote, shacked the virtual world of your “computer age”… I also well understand that someone has to defend it by all means… Unfortunately my real world, a world with flesh and bones, a world with feelings and thoughts, a world of smelling real flowers, a world with endless nights looking at the moon and the stars from a roof, eating, drinking and talking with real Friends about the mysteries of Life, seems to be unknown to you…
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: Catastrophic!!! Have you heard the name of the “great” architect “Le Corbusier” an admirer of the industrial revolution, of Mussolini and Hitler??? Have you been affected by the recent crisis as many people have, among them real Artists too???
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: Do you know that all these “machines” we use today, have been primarily developed for military reasons only, for conquering one another and not living side by side???
COMPUTER COMMUNICATION: Are you familiar with the psychological term… “Computer Anxiety”???
OFFENSIVE COMMENTS: Since when polite questions and dialogue are abusive, offensive and negative???
DEMOCRACY: It’s totally absent, when a different view, within the bounds of a polite Dialogue, is missing!
E-PUPPETS: I suggest, among many others, the excellent book about “Blindness” of the Nobel prize winner Jose Saramago.
FEAR OF DIGITAL AGE: Do we have any knowledge of how many people have been killed, how many villages and cities have been totally burnt out during the last twenty (20) years of this glorious digital era???
FREEWILL: In this issue I propose the extraordinary work of the well-known American Sociology Professor Immanuel Wallerstein, “Utopistics: Or historical choices of the 21st Century”.
WE ARE WISE: What kind of wise people totally pollute and totally destroy a whole Planet???
COLLECTIVE DREAMS: Computers, as every child knows, can’t dream… and this is also a Fact!
ART: It’s a procedure of the creative right part of our Brain and no computer has or will ever have such a “brain”!!!
CONCLUSION: According to an old eastern saying: “A knife can be used for eating but also for killing”… and unfortunately, up to now, the so called civilised, computerised world, supported by architects and artists too, has mainly used the “knife” for KILLING!!!
In other words we represent two (2) diametrically different worlds… You will continue to support yours and I mine…
Nevertheless … “There is a field out beyond right and wrong. I will meet you there.” Rumi
Yours Takis

"Dear Takis,
I can understand your concerns regarding computer technology and the issue of friendship, however, as a young person growing up through the era of the 'computer age', I do not fear it or see it as overly negative. Let us not forget similar fears surrounding the birth of the industrial revolution...
I think we would all agree that the friendships and fabricated worlds that exist exclusively in cyberspace can never replace the physical and metaphysical dimensions of our existence within a real world of interaction and unconditional love.
However, we can meet and communicate to a much wider audience through the internet in a way that we could not have done 1000 years ago, not even 100 years ago or even 20 years ago...certainly it can seem like somehow the internet has enveloped us, perhaps conditioning our way of thinking or seeming like we are somehow operating less in the 'real world' and thus losing touch with it. But does our use of this medium of communication mean that we are any less human, any less compassionate, any less respectful and kind to our fellow human beings? Are we really becoming less sensitive and somehow losing our ability to love deeply and unconditionally and no longer able to foster new and meaningful friendships in the real world? I think not, we have simply tapped into another form of communication that can heighten our connection to our fellow human beings on the whole planet and this is surely a good thing.
In reference to your point with regard to computer programmes designed with the 'delete function', such as on Celeste where the user has the ability to delete a friend, delete a favourite or delete a comment, this can enable the user to remove offensive comments or abuses that another user may produce. Now thankfully on Celeste this type of behaviour does not seem to occur but abusive offensive negative communication can and does occur on other sites and therefore I think it is a good idea to enable the deletion of such material. This is not an opposing view to democracy, it is simply not helpful to leave something deeply offensive on the web that could cause pain and suffering to another human being.
We want to promote a positive bright vision for the future, negative thoughts breed more negative thoughts but positive motivations and actions can radiate outwards like ripples from a stone splashing into a pond... spreading warmth, compassion and kindness...patience, tolerance and forgiveness to everyone is the way forward, our interconnectedness through our e-friendships can help to heighten our sensitivity to our fellow human beings...computer programmes will not control us, we are not e-puppets, we are simply operating with the latest tool at our disposal for communication. We do still have 'Freewill', the computer programmes are the creation of a human mind, not disimilar to the creation of an artwork. Both an artwork and a computer programme are born out of our creative intelligence. Both embrace the elements of control and chance. Both have their limitations. Both are vehicles for communication.
Let us not fear this digital age, we are wise enough not to become puppets to the various computer programmes...did we become puppets to the aeroplane and automobile or even the telephone when it was invented? Did we not embrace the positive attributes of these new modes of transport and communication? Everything evolves. We can utilise the positive elements to our advantage to build a better future...one of greater hope, greater communication and deeper connections between all human beings and let us continue to share our collective dreams and visions for the future so that we can all move closer and closer to seeing these dreams become a reality...
Take care, peace and love, sending smiles,
Brendan"
Takis,
You are such a wise man. I agree wholeheartedly that art helps us to feel 'connected' as humans in ways that computers will never achieve.
Keep the channels open!
Let's get those Marbles back to Athens!
Love and peace,
Tom
Dear Takis, thank you very much for your Inspiration, Friendship and Love. I'm tottally agree with your words and argumentation. To choose a friend or favourite can't be done by failing at the computer and is truly not a game. We all consider exactly our votes. Therefore let us turn a blind eye to these BUTTENS of deletions.
Dear Takis, thank you very much vor your Inspiration, Friendship and Love. I'm tottally agree with your words and argumentation. To choose a friend or favourite can't be done by failing at the computer and is truly not a game. We all consider exactly our votes. Therefore let us turn a blind eye to these BUTTENS of deletions.
JUST BY PUSHING SOME BUTTONS...
Suddenly, few days ago, we have been informed that, besides friendships and favourite-artworks, we can also DELETE comments we received, … just by pushing some buttons…
I was really confused once more and I was asking myself what kind of Human behaviour is that…Is that the way we’ll promote Dialogue and Democracy???
I’m familiar as an Architect and Artist, but not as a human being, to various computer programmes…The world of computer-communication was totally unknown to me, up to now, and it’s very different, I have to admit, from the real world I’m used to live!
It’s a world mostly full of confused moods, without any real feelings! It’s a world of indifference, inconsistency and insecurity! It’s a world, sometimes even full of negativity, ill minded and dangerous behaviours!
Now that I start to understand how it functions, I’m determined to change it, by changing in me the generally adopted patterns...
For example there is no reason at all to become at first “friends” in order to exchange later on some thoughts, feelings and senses… The fear of rejection of a so called “friendship-request” (as if Friendship is a question of request and confirmation), as well as any other kind of fear, is totally inhuman!!!
Next year’s Exhibition is a unique opportunity to realise that Human communication, through computers, is a very serious “business” to deal with, if we do not wish to become (robot) machines, and develop ourselves as Humans…
FRIENDSHIP (Real Human Communication and Human Relations) is the quintessence of Life, Love and Art, which no kind of machine, even the most highly elaborated, could ever be able to eliminate …
No Human being wishes to become an e-puppet of the data and restrictions of the one or the other computer-program… What we should try to develop, consciously, also through the procedure of our internet-communication, is Freewill… We should of course use all the opportunities that such programs provide, but we should never allow to ourselves to be used, guided, shaped and mastered by them! FRIENDSHIP is not a computer-game of pushing some buttons…
“The simple the better”, the human, as Maria Jacques said! “Speak truth and from the heart”, were the words of Sibylle Werner. To be “Friends from heart”, claims Emily Eunjue Hayes with whom I will totally agree, when she says that what we mostly need is INSPIRATION!!! And Inspiration as well as Friendship, Creation and Love can never be offered by machines…

Thank you for inviting me as your friend. Your paintings stimulates the senses, and your brush strokes and colors captures the energy of the rhythm of life. Very impressive. Sherryl Chavarria
Hi Takis!
Thanks for the invitation! Please, send me more details... I hope will be possible to partecipate in your exhibition! Let's keep in touch. Vincenzo
The philosophy of my pictures to say that what we describe as reality, just an image and it shows my material as I care, how it stands against other objects.
For instance, I can know the meaning of an object or analyze a subject, one you penetrate, and the term "feeling" designate.
Each image is on its way, a clear guide for action.
The plethora of images, however, it is from the life of man erwächst.Sie free thinking and leads to tolerance of others and other human being.
One thing is probably certain: How to rotate my images and also considered at the beginning of any event is always an individual, which itself seems a bit of this and viewed methodically linked to comparisons within himself.
"I'll show myself to the outside inward."
Good luck MICHjA

Dear mister Takis,
your opinion about the barbarity and the possibility to stop it with honesty and love meets my thougth...
I thing to change the world we need to change ourselves and to stop anger we need to stop war to oneself...
Dear Takis
Thanks for the invitation.. I am very pleased for this invitation.. Please keep me updated when you will have more details as I would really love to take part of this event, thanks.. Silvia
Ciao Takis Alexiou,
ho fatto tradurre la tua bellissima email da un mio amico.
Grazie per il tuo meraviglioso messaggio di amicizia, l’ho gradito moltissimo. Scusami se finora non sono riuscita a scriverti e a ringraziarti in inglese purtroppo per me questa lingua rappresenta un grosso ostacolo. Inoltre il mio tempo al pc è molto limitato. Spero accetterai lo stesso la mia sentita gratitudine in italiano.
Un Abbraccio!
Dear TAKIS,
Many thanks for your invitation .It is really a wonderfull opportunity and i am very interested to join. I am waiting for more details.THANKS.BESTE GRÜSSE HENGAMEH
Hallo Herr Takis Alexiou,
hier schriebt Achis Sohn. Leider ist mein Vater in Kuba, seit mehr ein Jahr und konnte nicht persönlich schreiben. Ich hoffe, dass Sie es verstehen. Schöne Grußen aus Bremen Denis A. Pineda
thanks... i think like you that "this particular sensitivity" is more and more difficult to find, but is important to respect the sensitivity of everyone too, and always to try to understand the really "why" of determined artistic & formal choices...if are they sincere ? embraces & good creationes
Thanks for the message that you have sent me. You are right when you say that the most elementary thing is to speak. I am convinced of it. Also for me it is an only experience this share to the prize, and I do it with passion and seriousness. Thanks still and we maintain the contacts. Jo
Thanks of yours beautiful very deep reflections and at the same time genuine where it detaches the value of the true feeling of the friendship. Unfortunately daily life has become so frantic man not to let us see the transparencies of our soul. Igli
Greetings Takis,
Thank you for the friendship ,I appreciate it and I like the lightness in your artistry, especially the Paper Boats and sculptural project of Salamina Island.
Thank you very much for all, Dr Takis. I release that also my way is this you speak about, although many times in my life I took the other of barbarity. Many Kisses, Gregory
Thanks Takis! I return my appreciation to your work... vibrant energy, especially in "swimming pair"... and your project for Salamina is wonderful, it conveys peace and joy and the hope of a perfect place to live in. I heartly wish you good luck!
I was, as you too, very interested to relation between architecture and psychology! I wrote my Dissertation (at the school for psychotherapist) about the home as "simbolic body".
Unfortunately my poor English does not allow me to go into that, but I hope that we will have the opportunity to do this later ..
Thank you very much for your kind words. I love your paintings and drawings especially Epistroph to Senses which has a very strong use of line and very contemporary aesthetic.
Design of the Central Square on Salamina Island is amazing, you are a man of many talents, with your creativity spreading across several areas of art and design. Magnificent!
I’m not either a puritan or religious man and I do not accuse "porno". But I characterize it as something totally different from "nude". Everyone has the right to express himself/herself as he/she pleases. It is a question of personal aesthetics...

Dear Takis,
the discussion at the last few days shows me again, that Friendship and Love are the most valued assets next to the human dignity and we have to deal with Friendship and Love very carefully and in a well-considered way. They should not be simply deleted.
Sending Love
Diana
Thank you also for the invitation and yes i would like to know more about this big exhibition for vision.

thank you for the discussion, that finally returns to an amicable communication.
To my mind, we are able to bring forward arguments , good and bad, for and against everything in our life, as Manousos Nanakis, Ciaran Magill and others wrote.
How quickly and simply we may communicate with friends and colleagues all over the world, like here in Celeste, but how quickly and simply all the dangerous ideas and ideologies disserminate in the internet.
How quickly and efficiently the internet helps us or our children to learn. But what happens if a boy in the age of 12 has been addicted to computer games.
Most of our children are not able to see the red light. Therefore we all and especially we artists are responsible to give the new technologies a chance helping to solve all the immense problems in the world and make a “better place”. And also will help us even the small things, when we share them with Honesty, Friendship and Love with the others, a SMILE for example…
Allways with love Takis,
heartly your Diana.
There are so many shadows in this world, please don’t add yours too… You are a very promising young Man and Artist… So if you wish my Friendship, let me see your SMILING Face again… Yours Takis
Thank you very much for your interest in the subject and the suggested bibliography. I already knew most of the books. For the rest I'll have a close look. Thank you once more.
As you may noticed I studied in the Technical University of Dresden, during the years of DDR (East Germany), during the years of “socialism” and I know very well, besides the good side of it, what you mean when you are talking about Restriction and “Isolation”… 1967 I was to be deported to Siberia, for not keeping my mouth shut… But Life is beautiful even with small things, when you share them with Honesty and Love with the others, a SMILE for example…
"Hello! I wish to show some reasons on this question.... We artists all very different in character, temperament, on aesthetic predilections..... As to me personally..... I, which all am 24 hours in the workshop and is very frequent unique my interlocutors my works, pictures when I enter into the Internet are, I open for myself very many... I rejoice to it! For example, in селесте has opened many good artists, they are interesting to me.Вы know that we, Russian, long time were in isolation from other world, I with surprise notice that Russian art has played the big role in the general tendency of development of world art.... I observe echoes of Russian design of 20th years of the XX-th century, V.Kandinsky's influence in some works, Walked, Malevich and many other things.... In other words, thus we are gradually integrated into your Western world, and you comprehend ours. ... In it, at least for me, the Internet positive side.... I apologise for my English.... With love... Natalia"
We can interpret a positive or a negative into all aspects of technology, both from an historical perspective and a also contemporary standpoint. It is both good and bad, but we should not live in fear of it, let us concentrate on the positive aspects and build upon these to help make the world a better place for all.
Brendan Jamison said again:
"Dear Takis,
Thank you for your response. You seem to have made some false assumptions in youri nterpretation of my response and therefore I must apologise for not making my points crystal clear to you. Therefore I
feel I need to reiterate some issues and will do so as I address your points.
1. I draw upon your quote: " my real world, a world with flesh and
bones, a world with feelings and thoughts, a world of smelling real
flowers, a world with endless nights looking at the moon and the stars
from a roof, eating, drinking and talking with real Friends about the
mysteries of Life, seems to be unknown to you…" Unknown to me? What a
false assumption! This is my world too, I may be younger than you at
30 years of age but I still enjoy the poetic and romantic vision that you have just outlined. I regularly discuss the mysteries of life and
death with all my friends over lunch and dinner, from the ancient philosophers of Socrates and Plato, the Sufi mysticism, the Eastern
perspectives of Buddhism and Hinduism and also the current trends in global politics. I simply stated that the internet is a good tool for communication and yet you seem determined to polarise this argument,
offering not a balanced perspective but rather one of extreme negativity and even hosility towards the internet.
Might I remind you that I clearly stated that " I think we would all agree that the friendships and fabricated worlds that exist exclusively in cyberspace can never replace the physical and
metaphysical dimensions of our existence within a real world of interaction and unconditional love." Therefore how did you assume from this statement that I favoured a virtual world over the real world?
Your response is quite baffling. I think my thoughts are very clear on
this issue. I love the real world, I would never trade it for a world
of cyberspace.
2. I think when an individual is so entrenched in their own views they can fail to see anything but the negative and this can blind them. I
too have taught University students, both in America and Ireland and always encouraged them to form a balanced argument,weighing up both the positive and the negative before presenting a conclusion.
I completely agree with you that the creation of weapons of war have been devastating on a global scale and yes I am completely aware that
this agenda has pushed forward technological advancements. However,
technological advancements in the fields of medicine and in particular operating procedures have been hugely beneficial. Many more lives are now saved or the quality of lives are improved thanks to advancements in technology in this field. My own Mother recently had to get a metal knee implanted to enable her to walk, this surgery would not have been possible 100 years ago. Therefore I praise this aspect of technology on the one hand and naturally condemn the destructive nature of it on the other.
Finally, to offer another more positive perspective I would like to quote a recent headline from the German newspaper Deutsche Welle on 23 September 2009:
"British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says his government is willing to
cut the number of nuclear submarines to support US President Barack Obama's nuclear disarmament initiative".
Now I know you will probably still read a negative interpretion into
this and so I will just state now for the record that ideally I would like an end to all nuclear weapons and all other destructive technologies but one day at a time, step by step....it is still progress in the right direction...the intentions of these particular leaders does seem to be good.
3. Of course I have been affected by the current financial crisis and
currently have no income at the moment but I live in hope that things
will improve again soon and some economies are beginning to stengthen
a little. However, the one good element that came out of this crisis is that it brought the world leaders a lot closer together to try to solve this crisis as one. But obviously this sense of working together needs to be extended to solving all of the world's problems and
interestingly CNN recently reported that President Obama stated at an address to the United Nations earlier this week that:
"Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges," he said. "If we are honest with ourselves, we need to admit that we are not living up to that
responsibility."
Obama cited issues such as terrorism, long-running conflicts, nuclear
proliferation, climate change, poverty and pandemic disease, then
added: "The magnitude of our challenges has yet to be met by the measure of our action."
I think Barack Obama is a wonderful leader for America and I love his
intentions to make the world a better place. He brings much hope and
optimism in a time when the world is crying out for it.
Perhaps Taxis you should consider entering the political arena as you
may not be able to change peoples' minds through the art world alone?
4. With regard to your statement on OFFENSIVE COMMENTS where you argued: "Since when polite questions and dialogue are abusive,offensive and negative???"
Might I remind you of what I actually stated about why computer programmers put the delete function on, "this can enable the user to remove offensive comments or abuses that another user may produce. Now thankfully ON CELESTE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR but
abusive offensive negative communication can and does occur on OTHER SITES and therefore I think it is a good idea to enable the deletion of such material. This is not an opposing view to democracy, it is
simply not helpful to leave something deeply offensive on the web that
could cause pain and suffering to another human being."
Now obviously you have failed to grasp this point and therefore I have to be more explicit for you to understand. Artists can sometimes get sexually abusive messages on their personal websites, and the tone is far from the idealised 'polite' position that not everyone adopts. A broader understanding of the internet would reveal this to you.
A close and very dear friend of mine in Ireland, Emma, also on Celeste, had to delete her entire comments page on her own personal website because of the negative actions and deeply offensive sexual
harrassment of a few people that spoiled it for all those leaving as you describe 'polite'comments. This is just one example but I hope it makes my point more clear. However, the overwhelming majority of internet users are very good people and completely non-offensive. Only a very small percentage can spoil it for the rest of us. But let us not dwell on that.
Actually I should also note that terrorists also use the internet to spread fear and panic, if you had the power to delete such sites would you do so? Or would you remain in the position of an idealised
democracy of complete free speech, irrespective of the consequences?
Where do you draw the line Taxis?
I stand by my belief that the delete function is neccesary. We need to
delete as much evil and negativity from this world so as to leave a more positive planet for the future generations. I hope by the time I reach your age that the world will be a more peaceful and happier
place and I will do everything in my power, in the little ways that I
can to help achieve this goal.
5. Takis in your response you have stated: "FEAR OF DIGITAL AGE: Do we have any knowledge of how many people have been killed, how many villages and cities have been totally burnt out during the last twenty (20) years of this glorious digital era???"
Gosh this is so negative, it is actually beginning to drain me. Have you read "The Art of Happiness" by HH Dalai Lama and the American
psychiatrist Howard C Cutler? It certainly helped me shift my
perspective into a more hopeful positive frame of mind that could be benefit to others.
Ok, firstly, I did not describe the digital era as "glorious" and do not label it as such, it is simply a term for where we are currently located at our point in human development.
Secondly, with great sadness, human beings have engaged in conflict for 1000s of years. This digital era can not be blamed for all the conflict in this world, such a claim would be hard to ground in any solid argument.
6. Finally I am intrigued by your statement "and of course with real Facts and not groundless interpretations and words without any meaning!"
Are you suggesting my words have no meaning? All viewpoints are equally valid, although we differ on some points I still respect your views and would request that you grant me that same honour.
May we all make the world a happier place, in whatever way that we
can...one little bit at a time, step by step....
Sending smiles,
Brendan"
I am Enzo Briscese, painter, gallery owner and events organizer, very interested in a cultural exchange: I would like to know more about the artistic reality in which you are acting in order to have the possibility of an eventual
future cooperation.
Therefore I would like to know if you can provide catalogues, advertising magazines, and which is your proposal, furthermore I would like to get the costs and all other details, and if it is necessary to get part at your events too.
I have read your message about exhibition event at end of the next year and I would ask you to send me more information.
I thank you in advance for your reply and I confirm you here below my address:

"As to "Just by push......", even without deep deliberation on the topic I can say what I see in real life(as far as already people talking about virtual life.
My friends who were carried away with all sorts of computer & internet entertainments, they have changed considerably over the last 10 years.
They have lost skill of real here & now communication with alive people.
A mere conversation at cup of coffee became a torture. They don't look at your eyes, don't hear you, speak absurdity.
It's sad and scaring."
Thank you Brendan, Yagama and Dorothy for giving me the opportunity to start a Dialogue… But, as you know, there is no Dialogue in private! Dialogue can take place only in public, in “Agora”… and of course with real Facts and not groundless interpretations and words without any meaning!
I well understand that what I wrote, shacked the virtual world of your “computer age”… I also well understand that someone has to defend it by all means… Unfortunately my real world, a world with flesh and bones, a world with feelings and thoughts, a world of smelling real flowers, a world with endless nights looking at the moon and the stars from a roof, eating, drinking and talking with real Friends about the mysteries of Life, seems to be unknown to you…
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: Catastrophic!!! Have you heard the name of the “great” architect “Le Corbusier” an admirer of the industrial revolution, of Mussolini and Hitler??? Have you been affected by the recent crisis as many people have, among them real Artists too???
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: Do you know that all these “machines” we use today, have been primarily developed for military reasons only, for conquering one another and not living side by side???
COMPUTER COMMUNICATION: Are you familiar with the psychological term… “Computer Anxiety”???
OFFENSIVE COMMENTS: Since when polite questions and dialogue are abusive, offensive and negative???
DEMOCRACY: It’s totally absent, when a different view, within the bounds of a polite Dialogue, is missing!
E-PUPPETS: I suggest, among many others, the excellent book about “Blindness” of the Nobel prize winner Jose Saramago.
FEAR OF DIGITAL AGE: Do we have any knowledge of how many people have been killed, how many villages and cities have been totally burnt out during the last twenty (20) years of this glorious digital era???
FREEWILL: In this issue I propose the extraordinary work of the well-known American Sociology Professor Immanuel Wallerstein, “Utopistics: Or historical choices of the 21st Century”.
WE ARE WISE: What kind of wise people totally pollute and totally destroy a whole Planet???
COLLECTIVE DREAMS: Computers, as every child knows, can’t dream… and this is also a Fact!
ART: It’s a procedure of the creative right part of our Brain and no computer has or will ever have such a “brain”!!!
CONCLUSION: According to an old eastern saying: “A knife can be used for eating but also for killing”… and unfortunately, up to now, the so called civilised, computerised world, supported by architects and artists too, has mainly used the “knife” for KILLING!!!
In other words we represent two (2) diametrically different worlds… You will continue to support yours and I mine…
Nevertheless … “There is a field out beyond right and wrong. I will meet you there.” Rumi
Yours Takis
"Dear Takis,
I can understand your concerns regarding computer technology and the issue of friendship, however, as a young person growing up through the era of the 'computer age', I do not fear it or see it as overly negative. Let us not forget similar fears surrounding the birth of the industrial revolution...
I think we would all agree that the friendships and fabricated worlds that exist exclusively in cyberspace can never replace the physical and metaphysical dimensions of our existence within a real world of interaction and unconditional love.
However, we can meet and communicate to a much wider audience through the internet in a way that we could not have done 1000 years ago, not even 100 years ago or even 20 years ago...certainly it can seem like somehow the internet has enveloped us, perhaps conditioning our way of thinking or seeming like we are somehow operating less in the 'real world' and thus losing touch with it. But does our use of this medium of communication mean that we are any less human, any less compassionate, any less respectful and kind to our fellow human beings? Are we really becoming less sensitive and somehow losing our ability to love deeply and unconditionally and no longer able to foster new and meaningful friendships in the real world? I think not, we have simply tapped into another form of communication that can heighten our connection to our fellow human beings on the whole planet and this is surely a good thing.
In reference to your point with regard to computer programmes designed with the 'delete function', such as on Celeste where the user has the ability to delete a friend, delete a favourite or delete a comment, this can enable the user to remove offensive comments or abuses that another user may produce. Now thankfully on Celeste this type of behaviour does not seem to occur but abusive offensive negative communication can and does occur on other sites and therefore I think it is a good idea to enable the deletion of such material. This is not an opposing view to democracy, it is simply not helpful to leave something deeply offensive on the web that could cause pain and suffering to another human being.
We want to promote a positive bright vision for the future, negative thoughts breed more negative thoughts but positive motivations and actions can radiate outwards like ripples from a stone splashing into a pond... spreading warmth, compassion and kindness...patience, tolerance and forgiveness to everyone is the way forward, our interconnectedness through our e-friendships can help to heighten our sensitivity to our fellow human beings...computer programmes will not control us, we are not e-puppets, we are simply operating with the latest tool at our disposal for communication. We do still have 'Freewill', the computer programmes are the creation of a human mind, not disimilar to the creation of an artwork. Both an artwork and a computer programme are born out of our creative intelligence. Both embrace the elements of control and chance. Both have their limitations. Both are vehicles for communication.
Let us not fear this digital age, we are wise enough not to become puppets to the various computer programmes...did we become puppets to the aeroplane and automobile or even the telephone when it was invented? Did we not embrace the positive attributes of these new modes of transport and communication? Everything evolves. We can utilise the positive elements to our advantage to build a better future...one of greater hope, greater communication and deeper connections between all human beings and let us continue to share our collective dreams and visions for the future so that we can all move closer and closer to seeing these dreams become a reality...
Take care, peace and love, sending smiles,
Brendan"
You are such a wise man. I agree wholeheartedly that art helps us to feel 'connected' as humans in ways that computers will never achieve.
Keep the channels open!
Let's get those Marbles back to Athens!
Love and peace,
Tom
Please send me more info. I hope to hear you soon.
Alessandra Parmeggiani
Suddenly, few days ago, we have been informed that, besides friendships and favourite-artworks, we can also DELETE comments we received, … just by pushing some buttons…
I was really confused once more and I was asking myself what kind of Human behaviour is that…Is that the way we’ll promote Dialogue and Democracy???
I’m familiar as an Architect and Artist, but not as a human being, to various computer programmes…The world of computer-communication was totally unknown to me, up to now, and it’s very different, I have to admit, from the real world I’m used to live!
It’s a world mostly full of confused moods, without any real feelings! It’s a world of indifference, inconsistency and insecurity! It’s a world, sometimes even full of negativity, ill minded and dangerous behaviours!
Now that I start to understand how it functions, I’m determined to change it, by changing in me the generally adopted patterns...
For example there is no reason at all to become at first “friends” in order to exchange later on some thoughts, feelings and senses… The fear of rejection of a so called “friendship-request” (as if Friendship is a question of request and confirmation), as well as any other kind of fear, is totally inhuman!!!
Next year’s Exhibition is a unique opportunity to realise that Human communication, through computers, is a very serious “business” to deal with, if we do not wish to become (robot) machines, and develop ourselves as Humans…
FRIENDSHIP (Real Human Communication and Human Relations) is the quintessence of Life, Love and Art, which no kind of machine, even the most highly elaborated, could ever be able to eliminate …
No Human being wishes to become an e-puppet of the data and restrictions of the one or the other computer-program… What we should try to develop, consciously, also through the procedure of our internet-communication, is Freewill… We should of course use all the opportunities that such programs provide, but we should never allow to ourselves to be used, guided, shaped and mastered by them! FRIENDSHIP is not a computer-game of pushing some buttons…
“The simple the better”, the human, as Maria Jacques said! “Speak truth and from the heart”, were the words of Sibylle Werner. To be “Friends from heart”, claims Emily Eunjue Hayes with whom I will totally agree, when she says that what we mostly need is INSPIRATION!!! And Inspiration as well as Friendship, Creation and Love can never be offered by machines…
I'm very interested.Is it possible to have more details about this exhibition?
Looking foreward to hear from you soon.
Alessandra

The philosophy of my pictures to say that what we describe as reality, just an image and it shows my material as I care, how it stands against other objects.
For instance, I can know the meaning of an object or analyze a subject, one you penetrate, and the term "feeling" designate.
Each image is on its way, a clear guide for action.
The plethora of images, however, it is from the life of man erwächst.Sie free thinking and leads to tolerance of others and other human being.
One thing is probably certain: How to rotate my images and also considered at the beginning of any event is always an individual, which itself seems a bit of this and viewed methodically linked to comparisons within himself.
