[2010.abad.033] The Birth and the Death and the Rising of All Things - Peter Ciccariello (USA)

About the image: A symbolic visual inquiry into this/that causality

 

 SHORT BIO: Peter Ciccariello is an interdisciplinary, cross-genre artist, poet, photographer and flaneur. His work is an experiment of language and text co-existing in 3-D digital environments. He works at the boundary between order and chaos, meaning and incoherence, logic and absurdity.

His creative method draws from Postmodern ideas about fragmentation, serendipity, and truth as a contrived illusion. As a self described interdisciplinary, cross-genre artist, poet, and photographer, his work is a pastiche of visual elements and sometimes language, imported into 3-D digital environments where the resultant images are choreographed utilizing theatrical lighting, staging and object characterization. Realized and instantiated as original limited edition prints, Ciccariello’s work utilizes progressive technology and classic process approaches that exploit the interplay between the virtual and the real.

Recent work has appeared both in print & online in, amongst other places, Harvard University in Boston, MA, MOCA The Museum of Computer Art in New York City, Brown University, Providence, RI, Poetry Magazine, and most recently, at the Abbaye de Neumünster, Cloître, Luxembourg. His book "Imaginal Landscapes", an experiment with the poem in landscape as it relates to poetic geography was published by Xexoxial Editions. Uncommon Visions, a collection of digital art and visual poetry is available at: http://uncommon-vision.blogspot.com/. Links to his current online work can be found at http://invisiblenotes.blogspot.com/

Photograph of a Monoprint, 10 by 10 inches.

After the thyroidectomy, when I was put on Levothyroxine to replace my thyroid hormone, I remember wondering if I would still be me on this little white daily pill, seeing that it's such an essential key hormone. As if she sensed my unvoiced concern, the doctor explained that my body would not be able to notice that the hormone was available from another source (digestion) than the thyroid....I thought, but I'll know...I wondered if I'd lose my colors, so to speak, if my personality would change, if my base mood (calm, dark maybe, prone to depression and serious) would be different...Four years later, my colors are more vibrant than ever, my base mood is (generally) up, my character hasn't changed per se...so I'm wondering now if my darker take on life before was perhaps cancer related. And maybe now I'm more me than I ever was.
