One of the things that I appreciate more about my dear DADA community is the possibility of meet amazing people from over the world, one of this persons is Joe Chiapetta, I love the simple style and the communication that reflect his art, with so much values, so deep and kindness. I invite you to observe and think about the message of the following GIF:
When Joe spoke to me about "ArtVndngMchn series2" the idea of partipate this seems me simple fascinating: a machine that sells random NFTs with different types of shortages, depending on the combo the collector buys, with motivational messages, and for charitable purposes...
As in the one of the last drawings, the first image that came to mind was a Bingo slot machine, only that unlike this one, in Joe's machine everyone wins :)

At the beginning of the project, those of us who got on the train with our OK, had the opportunity and the pleasure of hearing Nick Bordieri vision, from "Mercy Worldwide"(https://mercyworldwide.org/), several things which he said, remained in my mind, ringing, due to a question of tuning and vibration, of feeling that a thought, an urgency, a feeling is shared... The money raised will be used to create schools and I'm totally agree when it is assured that: "Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world", that we must educate the kids in form that they know that each one of us have the power or transform our own reality. Kids are the bridge to the change, kids transform yourself, then transform your families and finally, thanks to sumatoria, enterely communities are transform, and when I personally speak about transformation I dont think in personalitie's traits, beliefs, culture, etc... I mean that people have the necessary knowledge (specific technical, professional, empirical, procedural and emotional) to stand on step with force, have illusions again, to project, set personal goals but without losing social, human consciousness. Educate integrally is create oportunities for transforming lifes.
I think the love is the base of change that as humans we need, the real love for oneself, for existence, for the others, for the world... this love that shine inside the empathy, compromise, respect, understanding, brotherhood more than solidarity. To be live is the more gift that you will have, have time to live to use it properly and healthily; happiness of living should be the coin of each day: surround you of people that heat your soul, share moments, learning of the all things, persons and situations, share life, share knowledges, share all... Our egos and he thirst to stand out from the rest in whatever field shouldn't to be the first, never and ever!
One of my biggest challenges was to let my art, with a somewhat dark and pagan, visceral, provocative, pasional, flow tendency within the project guidelines. But I clung more to the messages that I shared with the cause and the discourse that I wanted to convey with my pieces than in prioritizing my artistic style or making a great masterpiece, that's when I decided to relax and I enjoyed experimenting, having fun and leaving my participation in this collaboration from the soul. Artwork for this project must be family-friendly, rated G, and it touched Themes like uplifting, inspiring, hopeful, enlightening, light-hearted, fun... Like as an orientation and inspiration guide, Joe told us about the guidelines that TV programs followed in the United States in the 1950s, and these are the results in my case:
"Shoephone"
This GIF is a direct call, style agent 86 2.0, in pandemic times. Good communication is the most important in all our relationships, dont to say words that you really dont feel, take care of each one of them, take care the tone of your voice, watch carefully where do you put your energy and think In the effect that your voice will produce, take responsibli, is it really what you want? If so, then go ahead, we are narratives and there is no more authentic way to inhabit this world than by taking charge and giving true value to our voices and their efects.
Curiosities: When mounting the frames of this GIF I could not notice that one of the frames was out of phase. Those who know me know that I am quite detailed in my drawings, so I was about to "fix the error" when my youngest son approached the computer to see my work and laughed uncontrollably: "Hahaha ... it's great , his finger move" he said; his little eyes shone and the smile remained outlined for a long time looking at the GIF... My ask was: it was reaaly an error? This left me wondering: what is worth more, the perfection of a job or the effect it generates on the viewer? Needless to say, they have my personal answer right in the GIF.
"The Better Gift"
Another thing that came to mind thinking about JOE's machine was the image of a time capsule ... what would it leave for others to see and feel touched in some way???
Like my work for the launch of MOE (https://www.mothersofethereum.com/) this piece is very emotional for me, it is to give a part of me full of deep thoughts and transcendental experiences. Is to show my vulnerability and transparency in its maximum expression. People in the photomontage are: a little version of me, me now and my sons, in my childhood home. This piece its about dont forget the child inside ... that daydreamer child that never can imagined her future, but that he always kept his internal flame burning, shining. Sometimes, reality, is more bigger than the bigger dreams that we had dream. Trust in the way, never stop of dream and transmit the joy of live. Someday you dont be here, you must to do be conscious of that, recognized your own sense and essence, and survive like a free spirit and smiley in the hearts that touched you, and you touched.
Here, you can see the pic and some history for the base of this collage: @vvanestati/question-of-passions
Think ever in "Time of quality"... is the daily occupation, the place and the people where suppose you must to stay, share moment and live?
Drawing from three years ago in DADA: https://dada.nyc/pa/107393
