Digital is an immaterial material. It cannot be expressed without a significant, can be endlessly cloned and can be used in different locations at the same time. Let the inner nature of this material expressed is not like let emerging the connotation of wood, oil or material provided with perceptive connotations. Every closed area can become a digital object and can be cloned and transformed in more works. Viewing the works, beyond the work, objects travel transfiguring, letting one basic property of the digital emerging. The web becomes the necessary path for the perception travel. Digital is more than a tool, it’s a way of thinking, it’s a paradigmatic jump in the perception of reality. It’s a way we can read complexity. Digital is non linear, visual language is non linear, verbal language is linear. This rows are linear, the way they are read, from the left to the right, from the top to the bottom, is linear. The syntax is linear and justify a causal way of thinking. The preceding cause the following, the cock singing before the sunrise, let the sun rising. Linear way of thinking could be a good proxy when communications ways are slow and poor, when a black/white way of thinking is supportive of low democracy level, estabilished rules of science and a propaganda religion. Visual text is non linear and demand intuition, attention and a non causal way of thinking.So do the audio language. Perception isn’t row data. We know from the gestalt and the further developmet of Gombrich that perpception is a way of thinking. An organism more than a mechanism. When you are searching for a meaning in a picture or in an art work, you are reducing a complex way of thinking and being conscious to a simple, causal way of thinking led by the verbal language. It wasn’ t enough for the paleolitic man too. Switching from the symbol to the sign is a paradigmatic jump. To make the jump, non linear languages are necessary. Reducing the power of these rows is a must. Switching from the work to the works, from the symbol to the autoreferential sign could be a way. So, body draw itself (metabodies). The digital sign express itslef, it’s modified by the simulated oil and the mixing of the significant is something not included into the original sets (microlaws). The work reproduce itself ( metabole). Sign became an autoreferential grammar opened to the edging states. The buyer can choose the developing of a branch of the process and the process undergo to a stochastic shock. The process cannot be controlled by the author because the process itself is complex. Re presentation of the structure is consciousness. Once again, an articulation of the complexity. The data mapping of the inner structure of the works can became a work. Calculating the mathematical non linear curves used to define the size of the prints, make it possibile to draw the curves into another work exposing an hidden level of the process. Not everything can be present at the same time, it wouldn’t be complex. It’s like a slow food; time becomes a component of the process.
