Our mind assimilates, encodes, assesses, reassembles and puts again into
circulation. As it works in this way, it develops and expands, taking part and
interacting in the evolution of the external structure. This is what an active
mind does.
And what does a passive mind doNULL
A passive mind absorbs and sends out its product without processing it. A
passive mind usually possesses the truth; the more limited its sphere of action,
the wider its truth. A passive mind lives on itself, is subjected to the
established structure and encodes it as something immovable. A passive mind
is constantly concerned about standardising to its yardstick everything it
manages to deal with, otherwise doubt might arise and undermine its dogmatic
certainty. If this happened, its neuronal movement would become too intense
and imply commitment and hard work.
So, what does the artist doNULL
The artist uses (or at least should use) his talent in the only way it cannot turn
against him. Being an artist means just this. The artist places himself at the
margins and, moving along, explores the lines; he takes hold of them but does
not belong to them. The artist scans the objective, breaks it up and processes
it; then he blends the objective with the subjective, makes these two elements
communicate (sometimes on a thin, sharp blade) and sends the deflected lines
to the structure.
Fulvio Tomasi, 10th September 2001
