Net: what is a net? A connection system between many points, existing objects, live subjects. What can a net permit? A net permits a continuos transit, the diffusion of particles, light, sound, emotions, ideas, thoughts…
To be more specific anyway the particle is not something done and existing for itself, but something that it’s found in an inseparable relation with everything around us. Defining particle means to stop, through a definition, a continuos process to make it understandable.

The net is not something homogeneous, but something that it’s in continuos becoming.
The world is made out of nets, or actually the world is a net.
Taking the human thought as an example, you can notice how this is established by a net of neurons.

A neuron, infact, through its branches (dentrits and axons) connects itself with other neurons. It creates a net where we interact with the world.

Through an ultraviolet light (and proper paints for uv) switching to visible light, the painting represents the possibility of the existance of other nets. The same feeling is created also by sounds that evoke the passage of informations through the net and between nets.

The neural circuit is a net that enacts between neurons, but this net opens also with the possibility of interaction with other types of net or other possible subjects of the net.

Like in the definition for particle, the painting that represents the possibility of the neural net, is deliberately an approximation of the continuos process of redefinition of the net itself.

I thank the philosopher Michele Innocente for his collaboration was important for the writing of this presentation of “Net” and “Nettism”.

I use this occasion to remind that I would like to set up a group that deepens the topic of net from different points (obviously all interconnected between them): philosophical, scientific, artistical, musical, sociological…Whoever is interested just contact me.
