FOURTH SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM

FROM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO HUMAN IMAGINATION

SALONE NAPOLEONICO – BRERA ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS MILAN, January 16th., 2018
INAUGURAL PROLUSION –  by Frang Bankëtz

More than a year ago, we started with one word: IMAGINATION

A word that is important to us, upon which we ground our whole lives.
If today we are here, it is because we believe that imagination is what makes us human.
This is why we must be inside our space.
There must be our imagination.
There must be our whole world,
all our wishes.
 
Every two minutes, we will create a different world,
only with our imagination.
Because imagination belongs to everyone, it is for everyone.
Everyone has imagination.
We are not special, we are just lucky enough to be able to devote ourselves to the imagination.
 
This is why we must be generous:
we have to give imagination away,
we have to multiply it,
because we know that the more we generate, the more imagination we will have.
 
This is why we will be inside our space
to give our imagination
our world
every two minutes,
to everyone who enters.
To the whole world,
because imagination is what makes us human.

Since we are all human beings,
there will be no judgment
there will be no good or bad;
we only have to donate, to be present.
 
With our wishes
with our breath
with our mouth,
with our weight
with our gut
with our voice.
Every two minutes,
an encounter with a stranger’s imagination
Be present
be generous.
 
In our space there will be nothing besides us,
we don’t need anything to imagine,
just other human beings.
Just being human beings
