MAO print 5/10

The code C3AB D4F3 B6AB is the codification of Chinese characters 毛泽东 (Mao Zedong) with reference to the code.

The mythical figure of Chairman Mao, the Father of Modern China, has faded in time, becoming for new generations of Chinese artists simply a character in the story turned into a business object; the trsformazione process thus acted directly on the main symbol of a culture today away from the ideals of communism.毛泽东 (Mao Zedong) was the symbol of an ideology today forgotten by China and in the digital world is encoded and represented with “C3AB D4F3 B6AB” symbols.
Within my research, Mao, as an ideological symbol becomes a digital sign, acquires the data of an abstract code still steeped in history, culture and values, love and suffering; I place myself in the digital information with this cycle of works looking for a new dimension harmoniously balanced between the real and virtual worlds.
Led a march through the contamination between digital language and artistic language.
