From Art-Chaos to VideoZaum and to the Infinite Inteligence of the Poetical Thought

Gianni Toti shows his most recent proposals through three poematronics: the new implied languages in the last mediatronics, firstly, as means-ends allowing the creative opposition between the mental patterns of science and art (Ordine, Chaos, Phaos - and of the seven Scientific Videopoems produced for the Scientific Imaginary) exhibition, in the Géode, city of Technical and Industrial Sciences, La Villette, Paris); secondly, proving to be possible, with the languagetronics, to videotape a true Chant for the language-type dreams of the Zaum (transmental) poetry of the inhabitants of the future of the century's first revolucionary avant-gardes (the revolucionary dreams of Vélimir Chlebnikov, and of the most coherent segment of the Russian futurism, in the electronic comedy or PoemeloDrame of SqueeZangeZaum); thirdly; the Video-Poem-Essay experience regarding the seasonable questions of univers(al)itary kwonlegde (with the VideoChant to the Termiale Intelligenza culture requested by the University of Pisa).

As we see (and will see), Gianni Toti has three views opened to the horizon of the little screen transcendency and of the bigger screns towards the synesteatronic total space conquest or all synestesia of the theater as an universal place of all arts (including the cinematelematography, the hibrid-virtual theater, the telepresence, phosphenography, the photonic, etc.) enabling the return of the once lost contact to the new audience that is still deceived with the mirage of an illusory interactivity - the true neo-generational audience activity is, as usually, to finalize, to complement the work started by the authors ("those who increase the world of life") towards the gesamtkunstwerke dreamed by Wagner and descedants to us (from Schereberg to Skriabin to Chlebnikov to Paik to Toti, etc).

Thus, offering proposals from Toti (written in a Toti-type language, of course! or toti-neo-Zaum), the Brazilian receiver and others will be able to interact with the mental paradigm of singular attractives or graphic-fractals from the chaotic-order and the laws evolution which are most similar to the rimbaudians laws of disordered feelings, and think and reconsider the relation between images and verbal music as imaginary music and music-imaginary verbs, while the imaginary of knowledge will offer itself to the meta-not-maginary pattern paths leading to the psyco-perceptive frontiers that must be cleared in order to live the age of the imaginary languages in other depths, different from those of restricted fields and times and old sensorial speeds.

Are they hyperbolic dreams for these times of an end? Maybe, and why not? "Why limit oneself to do difficult things while if spending some little more effort, it is possible to do impossible things? Who, who has asked this? "It's necessary to do it fast if we still want to see something" …and this, who? Yes, Toti, but who before him? Read-see his VideoPoems…
