Travelling as odyssey
The primitive symbol of shell, I have chosen
In order to describe the sounds - the paths of sea and the symbols of people travelling through it.
- I always have as a starting line a shell – of those you can hear the sea ˙
paper boats, or portrayed in the hope devotion,
welfare handkerchiefs ,
missing letters,
small human objects of distress of return,
the travel that everywhere is implied,
the escape that is asked.
Are often entrenched with one red spinner tied up….
the fairy tale is beginning,
the travel of life is beginning too.

Carissimi artisti,
microRoom and microSpace
Il gestore del nostro social network I (love) Art ha modificato i termini d'uso del servizio, offrendo meno spazio e facendo lievitare i costi di gestione.
Questo ci impedisce di continuare ad offrire il network gratuitamente a tutti voi: lavoriamo con un budget estremamente limitato e non abbiamo intenzione di chiedere a voi alcun contributo. La nostra missione è infatti quella di cercare opportunità free e open in Rete per i nostri artisti.
Vi invitiamo pertanto a scaricare tutti i vostri materiali da http://microbo.wall.fm entro il 24 maggio, dopo tale data sarà infatti impossibile accedere al social network, che verrà chiuso.
Ricordiamo che dal nostro sito è possibile proporsi per le nostre iniziative microRoom e microSpace
Stiamo infine preparando una novità che presenteremo dopo l'estate, che speriamo incontrerà il vostro favore...continuate a seguirci attraverso il nostro sito http://www.microbo.net, il nostro canale youtube e il nostro blog!
Ci scusiamo per il disagio,
Lo staff - microbo.net
Dear artists,
the provider of our social network I (love) Art modified the terms of service, offering less space and bandwidth, increasing management costs for us.
This blocks us to still offer for free the social network: we have a very small budget and we don't want to ask you any finantial contribution. Our mission, indeed, is to look for free and open opportunities in the Net, for our artists.
We ask you to download all your materials from the social network by May 24, after that day will be impossible to access it (it will be closed).
Please note that on our website is it still possible to join the initiatives
microRoom and microSpace
Finally, we're thinking about a new idea which we will present after summer, and we hope you will appreciate it...please stay in touch with us, following our website http://www.microbo.net, our youtube channel and our blog!
We apologise for the inconvenience
microbo.net - staff
microbo.net è un progetto dedicato al non-luogo dell'arte, un'iniziativa innovativa, che si pone ai confini del sistema dell'arte, in modo 100% free.
microbo.net ha come scopo principale la promozione degli artisti: propone mostre virtuali che cercano il dialogo tra opere d'arte contemporanee, il più delle volte sconosciute (o non ancora conosciute) al sistema dell'arte.
microbo.net è un progetto senza fini di lucro: per questo è 100% free; ma è anche free nel senso di libero.
microbo.net utilizza principalmente quello che secondo noi è il più importante canale comunicativo del mondo moderno: la Rete.
microbo.net non ha sede fisica, ma come tutto ciò che è in Internet, è ovunque ci sia una connessione, col suo sito web www.microbo.net, con il suo gruppo su facebook microbo.net, e il suo canale youtube http://www.youtube.com/microbopuntonet
Il nome microbo deriva dalla nostra consapevolezza di essere una realtà piccolissima, ma la cui potenziale diffusione è immensa e continua.
