Pale blue dot

Durante il suo viaggio, a milioni di chilometri dalla terra, la sonda Voyager 1 si volta e scatta una foto. A quella distanza in nell'abisso nero, si scorge solo un timido puntino blu, la Terra. In quel tremolio fluttuante azzurro c’è tutto.
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.”
[Carl Sagan, 'Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space']

Potendo ingrandirlo torneremmo ad immergerci nel caos familiare dei segni, dei suoni, delle esperienze. Allontanandoci ecco l'indefinito, l'astratto, seppur tremendamente preciso nella sua estrema sintesi.

Un’amicizia può essere raccontata nello stesso modo: concentrandoci sui particolari o l’insieme o le due cose simultaneamente. Raccontare un’amicizia attraverso un concerto ed un canale su youtube nel quale condividere le proprie idee su cosa proporre al pubblico.
Una scaletta di cover ma smontate, ingrandite e così sfocate da essere al limite della riconoscibilità. Esperienze personali ed artistiche si addensano in più punti dello spazio e del tempo.

During his trip, a million miles from the earth, the Voyager 1 spacecraft turns and takes a picture. At that distance in the black abyss all you can see is a timid blue dot, the Earth. In that floating flickering blue there's all.

To zoom back in, we will plunge again into familiar chaos of signs, sounds and experiences. Departing again, looking from afar, there is the indefinite, the abstract, albeit tremendously clear in its entirety.

A friendship could be told in the same way: by focusing on the particular details or the whole or the two simultaneously. A friendship is narrated through a concert and a Youtube channel where  ideas and expermiments are shared.

You find a number of cover songs; but dismantled, enlarged and so blurred that they are at the limits of recognisability.  Personal and artistic experiences assemble in several points of space and time.
