Gauguin was a renegade. A renegade of his time and age. He raised three wonderful questions through one of his masterpieces.
“Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?”
Throughout history We tried to come up with answers for these questions focusing mainly on the ‘Origin’ and on the ‘What’.
What about our ‘Destination’?
Where exactly are we going?
I am, as You are, as We all are, a Victim of OUR time and age. I’m a Victim in the sense that I’m overcome by the world I’m living in. A world where the main thing we listen to is our iPod, a world where the Computer is the one that we socialize the most and where the TV and Xbox are like gods.
We chose fake meeting places in a fake space instead of enjoying a beautiful sunny afternoon.
So, Where Are We Going?
Are We Going to become slaves to what we create?
Who is to tell?
Science Fiction novelists such as Isaac Asimov wrote about various utopias where we fall under the power given to our creations. It seems as a very far-fetched idea, doesn’t it?
But if you come to think about it Jules Verne predicted the submarine and traveling in outer space.
So what if the SF novelists are right, without being aware of it?
What if we fall?
The World that we live in is a stunning and beautiful place. We have our own heaven that we ignore and exploit.
Man is vertical because we raised our head. We have embraced the World.
And what are We doing?
Crouching back down? This time it’s the PC!
Well, We must accept the time in which we live with all it’s Brands and Commerciality.
Do not let mere Electrical Devices and all other 21st Century traps get you down!
For Good!
