Evolution The violent spirit to forge a civilization vol 1

(Rodrigo GrandaB_hQJo) #1

─Justification for the text


«In recent years I have been interested in studies of sexuality,


psychoactive substances, and the evolution of technology in the


past. Those traces left in a material record by individuals in


their natural state and their role in the environment, based on


the idea that human violence is controllable and can be


transformed into a means of "social control" over other


individuals of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens are


living a moment of technological disruption (^) [ 10 ] and human


deconstruction


[ 11 ]


which is a TransEvolution


[ 11 a]


. This


TransEvolution is a permanent Transmutation (^) [ 12 ] since the


Hominids knew the fear of death. The different forms of


violence are transformed into death, but for the first time: ─the


evolution and revolution of technology control the violent


Hominid. Will the Hominid overcome death to reach


Transhumanism (^) [ 13 ], managing to implant his spirituality (^) [ 14 ]


in a machine as he tried to do through art? We are still in a cave


painting walls with our everyday scenes and experiences; we


are still generating an archive;


─only this archive is now a format based on programming


languages, we are still telling other users of the net, that we are


alive, but it is not enough. We have to cross the border, we have


to transmute─. This work aims to draw attention to the multiple


representations of art that humanity has created. Pictorial


works of art have the quality of being dated with carbon- 14


measurement techniques, which determine a value for the half-


life of this isotope of approximately 5568 to 5730 years. Because


of its presence in all organic materials, carbon- 14 is used in the


dating of organic specimens.»
