El mar contiene al mundo

No nos deja olvidar
pues cada ola
es un recordatorio
bramando
nuestra muerte
hacia la orilla.

Arte Fotográfico Microscópico

Olympus America Inc. is in the eighth year of sponsoring a dynamic international photo competition that honors the world's most extraordinary microscope images of life science subjects.
"Microscope images forge an extraordinary bond between science and art," said Osamu Joji, Olympus America's Vice President and General Manager for the Scientific Equipment Group. "We founded this competition to focus on the fascinating stories coming out of today's life science research laboratories. The thousands of images that people have shared with the competition over the years reflect some of the most exciting work going on in research today - work that can help shed light on the living universe and ultimately save lives. We look at BioScapes and these beautiful images as sources of education and inspiration to us and the world."

Daniel Mercadante (2007):
"COASTING is a meditation on the flow of energies between American coasts, what unifies and separates a space and its forms."

Estado sólido

La soledad, esa piedra masculina que reposa en una habitación sin horas
como un planeta hermoso y advertido.

Una fruta de hierro.

555 KUBIK
"How it would be, if a house was dreaming"

The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

Poema Piaroa - Venezuela

Un día
la luna se detendrá en el cielo;
se secarán las flores,
y en la selva
sólo crecerán las piedras.

Entonces,
después de aplastar el bohío
y a toda la gente piaroa
sólo existirá la Gran Piedra Negra.

Escribir con una espada

Acariciar sin tener manos.
Encontrar pedazos de luna en los bolsillos.
Comprar una playa con gritos.
Ir al infierno a ver un amigo.
Enviar una mano a su amada.

Type Case - Caja Tipográfica (instalación)

Type Case from Martin Bircher on Vimeo.
The installation Type Case is a low-resolution display with 125 rectangular pixels of different sizes. These are formed from the reflecting light of digitally controlled LEDs, embedded in each section of a European printers’ type case. Due to the standardized fragmentation of its compartments, the density of visual information is decreased towards the objects’ centre. Viewed close by, it is nearly impossible to recognize more than a flicker – however after moving some distance away, it becomes distinguishable, that the lights and shadows give a representation of the latest headlines.

Dos Desiertos

Y a medianoche cuando la luna
ya no se inclina sobre el borde
espejo-abertura de un pozo seco,
con nuestros muñones de lenguas
ladramos
estruendos de poesía afilada
como la cresta del sílex.
