"Cyber-Spatialism" is a series of canvases in which computer connectors are inserted.
The project refers to Lucio Fontana's (1899 - 1968) series of slashed canvases ("Attese") and his concept of "Spatialism" ("Concetto Spaziale"), which is usually regarded as an attempt to overcome the illusionistic representation of space in painting by introducing physical space. By substituting Fontana's slashes with computer connectors, "Cyber-Spatialism" implies an extension of the canvas into cyberspace.
With regards to colour, composition and relative dimensions, "Cyber-Spatialism" is closely based on Fontana's originals in order to make the relation between the two series more perceptible.
