ENTROPIA, MARZO 23 (Entropy, March 23)

ENTROPIA, MARZO 23 (Entropy, March 23) is an artistic expression that is part of a series of works focusing on the study of order and chaos and their balance, the intertwining of our society with natural laws, and the parallelism between man and nature, intellect and cosmos.

Chaos is the root of the world, tangible evidence of the energy that pervades all that exists. On the contrary, the "artificial chaos," the frenzy, the thousand pieces of information and possibilities with which we come into contact in our times, distance us from what is our nature-being. Thus the ordinary individual almost loses his characteristic of being conscious and becomes a particle of today's fictitious and chaotic society.

So two phenomena that are similar but have two completely different implications, on the one hand chaotic nature but governed by laws and balances, and on the other hand chaotic society, which diverges from man's being as conscious and turns into a whirlwind of senselessness and materiality. The balances become fragile and the future uncertain.

Within this framework the work Entropy, March 23 aims to represent the indifferent, chaotic and harmonious balance between the parts. The neat, shiny, transparent grid represents the idealization of order, of the society of the world understood as a set of deterministic rules and flows; the stainless pins represent the distance between the idealization and reality, which, finally, is represented by the squares, all the same in appearance, but different because of small imperfections in the material and, above all, because of their position in relation to each other: Although there may be a moment when the squares are aligned along the grid all in the same position, this moment will last very little because it will only take any external event, even the slightest, to move them and make them rotate and thus fall a new position of indeterminate equilibrium, which, however, does not correspond with the aesthetic and therefore rational equilibrium decided by man.

Order is thus seen as a straining of the intellect, a necessity to feel secure against a chaos that, in a balanced and wonderful way, characterizes the natural world but that if we define it to our own measure in the society in which we live represents the terribly opaque, rough and confused unknown.
