Giancarla Parisi, Turin, contemporary artist, is a promoter of art in Italy transhumanism.
We
recall the exhibitions in Milan in 2013/14: Transhuman-Woman and
Omegalfa, by the AIT. In 2014 she launched the Italian Transhumanist Art
Manifesto, si
gned by hundreds of artists. Reported by magazines Luuk
Magazine (Milan) and HPlus, Use of Humanity Plus, by Natasha Vita-More.
In 2015 she is one of the authors of The Italian Rose 2000 (The
Carmelina) that after the eBook, will be released in hard copy this
September. Here is our exclusive interview for Blasting News.
Art and science
Giancarla, art and science, and possible combination?
My
painting recalls that inseparable combination of art and science that
began with the first cave paintings to Egyptian art passing through the
classical world and the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution, then
the two disciplines have forcibly taken different directions until now,
when thanks also to my path the two roads are rejoining the rediscovery
of the true meaning of "Techne" Latin equivalent of "Ars" meaning art
but also technical.
Giancarla according to critics, futurist or transhumanist or simply futuristic contemporary art?
Despite
tolerate these three definitions I want to remember that labels are
tight, they tend to take away my freedom of expression. As I said
previously: "I consider transhumanism a profound evolution of the
scientific-technological thinking humanist Renaissance. They are also in
agreement with Max More about the fact that transhumanism can only
express the values of unlimited expansion, self-transformation,
dynamic optimism, smart technology and spontaneous order. For some of my
transhumanist atmospheres I use color-called "cosmic" and certainly I
draw the lesson yet still stimulating a Dali or Kandinsky - the latter
not surprisingly Dionysian in the blue sky.
Female Futurism
Giancarla, another point often highlighted by the experts: is the Feminine in the foreground in your works?
It's
a subject I care a lot and is verifiable on my poster on transhumanist
female; more generally, I bet on a synthesis-art technology to women, a
"mechanical pink", perhaps a shocking pink. Science and matter are not
in a proper sense of the female gender? Or just the poster, recently
published in AA.VV. "Do not be afraid to say ..." (eBook, The Carmelina,
one of the authors Roberto Pazzi, Pierfranco Bruni, David Foschi,
Gianfranco de Turris, Marcello Veneziani, John Sessa and others)
excerpt: "The famous statement of Marinetti on contempt Women contained
in its Futurist Manifesto is actually only child of its time: perusing
the contemporary text of Valentine de Saint-Point, the author of the
Manifesto of Lust and the Manifesto of the Futurist woman, it is
understood that he was not referring so much to the genre women in full,
but at that soft feminine, feminist and degenerative transverse to both
sexes and considered unpatriotic, anti-heroic, non-activist, pacifist
and self-righteous, not at all appropriate for the "manly" revolutionary
futurist project. What Valentine was trying to put into words Tamara de
Lempicka, artist ideally close to me, expressed it well with her brush
strokes. "
