Inspired by the historical character Zenone di Elea is the name of the philosopher of collective perception that validates words usages.
This painting is also a tribute to the artist Ramm-Ell Zee.
Painting made in mixed media on wood.
To create this composition, Alberto first drew the subject’s face on paper, which was subsequently cut out and inserted into the composition.
Other mediums such as wall paints, pigments, charcoal and sprays were subsequently used and elaborated to generate an imaginary subject representing the validator of words within linguistic mechanics.
Syntax, in the context of linguistics, is a compendium of rules that provides logical senses to the structure of sentences we use to communicate.
True meaning of words, however, is that of being graphic signs that correspond to sounds; over centuries, every sound has generated certain signs, whiches have been optimized according to universally unknown rules.
Zenone di Elea was a pre-Socratic ancient Greek philosopher of Magna Graecia and a member of the Eleatic academy founded by Parmenides.
Aristotle defines him as the inventor of dialectics.
He is best known for his paradoxes, which Bertrand Russell defined as «immeasurably subtle and profound.
He is known above all for his paradoxes formulated in relation to the thesis of the impossibility of motion.
Today they are known as Zeno’s paradoxes. Three of them, in particular, are known as the “stadium paradox”, the “Achilles and the turlte paradox”, and the “arrow paradox”.
In all of these paradoxes, the aim, is to demonstrate that accepting the presence of movement in reality implies logical contradictions and it is therefore better, from a purely rational point of view, to reject sensitive experience and affirm that reality is immobile.
