Fabric of Time
For Gino "painting is entangled with human existence, a form of visual poetry that encapsulates humanity"
In a "Fabric of Time" Gino attempts to express the human experience and condition. Gino investigates the meaning of life and the narratives of truth within human societies defining notions of civilisation. Each Society is formed through neutralising discourse as both camouflage and weapon. Creating singular realities, facilitating a constructed truth and modes of behaviour for the individual to conform within. These are fractured perceptions of human experience relative to the differences conditioned by culture.
The human experience conditioned by a societies culture is no longer remote and can be questioned via communication technologies. Many individuals seek a personal truth through the perspective and signals of social media societies. This constant never-ending signal has become a fusion of immediate voices, promoting hybrid truths, directly impacting the norms of society. This leads to a change in human consciousness The human consciousness is saturated with factual information and misinformation, and for the majority determining the difference between fact and fantasy may be unimportant. Formations of truth are commonly led by belief systems usually controlled by systems of power, science or religion. Observing these patterns Gino sees a multiple fractured world, presenting a myriad of personal beliefs, each truthful to those within the fold and opaque to others.
The first cave paintings show the human imperative to communicate through story telling. This imperative hasn't changed. Gino asks what will happen when human development is augmented for a rational world? Will the action to freely express using a visually imaginative process, become aesthetically simplified - perhaps redundant - repurposed to suit a decorative post AI world, which by its very nature can only be totalitarian. Goya and Rodin would say look for "truth" and Gino endeavours to do this.
He asks "is real truth simply letting go of the construct that makes us who we are?
If so, will it allow the human condition and experience to be more than simply a series of unitary human connections"
