ATMOSPHERIC FRACTALIZATION FORMULA IN NON-EUCLIDEAN FIELDS

This project represents an artistic investigation that utilizes scientific data and visual expression, proposing an “Atmospheric Fractalization Formula in Non-Euclidean Fields”.

Taxonomy, Ontology and Controlled Vocabulary in Cultural Heritage Cataloging: Conceptual Foundations, Practical Applications and Decolonial Perspectives

The systematic organization of knowledge derived from artistic and cultural objects constitutes both an epistemological and practical challenge of considerable complexity. These challenges are not merely technical; they are deeply entangled with political, cultural, and ideological dimensions. In the contemporary context of museological collection management, three foundational concepts emerge as structural pillars: taxonomy, ontology, and

Decolonial Critique of Sarah Jilani’s Proposal: Beyond Universalism and Economic Reductionism

Decolonial Critique of Sarah Jilani’s Proposal: Beyond Universalism and Economic Reductionism What motivates me to write this text is to propose a critical response to Sarah Jilani’s article “The Trap of Catchalls”, published in ArtReview on May 16, 2025. I acknowledge the urgency of her argument: generic terms like “Global South” or “Global Majority” can indeed erase complex

Zombies of Late Capitalism: Hauntology, Lost Futures, and Eco-Social Critique in Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die

In Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die (2019), the director does not resurrect zombies—he exposes the necrotic corpses we had grown accustomed to ignoring. Set in Centerville, a fictional town whose very name feels like a ready-made joke (“Center” of nowhere), the film’s undead do not rise by accident. They are summoned by polar fracking, a drilling operation

🇧🇷 Zumbis do Capitalismo Tardio: Hauntologia, Futuros Perdidos e a Crítica Eco-Social em ‘The Dead Don’t Die’ de Jim Jarmusch

No filme “The Dead Don’t Die” (Os Mortos Não Morrem, 2019), o diretor de Jim Jarmusch não ressuscita zumbis — expõe os cadáveres necrosados que já estávamos acostumados a ignorar. A história se passa em Centerville, cidade fictícia onde até o nome parece uma piada pronta (“Centro” de lugar nenhum). Nela, os mortos não saem

Franco Berardi’s Perspective on Art: Resistance in the Era of Semiocapitalism

Franco Berardi, commonly known as Bifo, offers a multifaceted analysis of art that positions creative expression as a crucial form of resistance against contemporary capitalism. His theorization of art emerges from his broader critique of what he terms “semiocapitalism”—a system where signs, symbols, and information have become the primary commodities and where cognitive labor has

🇫🇷 La Monétisation de la Culture : Une Critique du Monopoly du Musée d’Orsay

Félicitations au Musée d’Orsay ! Dans un coup de “génie” commercial, le prestigieux musée parisien a enfin révélé sa véritable vocation en lançant une édition spéciale du Monopoly. Qui aurait pu imaginer meilleur hommage aux œuvres de Van Gogh, Monet et Degas que de les transformer en propriétés négociables sur un plateau de jeu ?
