A LOOK AT NATURE. From observation to representation

Abstract

To look, to see, to observe, to represent. The exercises that are presented are based upon the above mentioned verbs. The first three verbs are related to knowledge that can be translated into representation. The looking action represents our most generic approach with fenomenic reality, it is the starting point of a fisiologic characteristic that belongs to us and to other living creatures. The seeing action is a voluntary consequence of the previous act and it represents the precise will to create a relationship based upon our decisions. The observing action is a deeping act that approaches reality focusing our attention on it. The representing action is another deeping act that both: a) allows reality to reappear in front of us as we know it beacuse of our previous seeing action; b) allows to translate reality into its evocation.
