Statement:
"Against the art of the art-works I want to teach a superior art:
the art of invention of fests" (Friedrich Nietzsche, 1881) The spirit
of the Global Poetry Action is the fest. The idea is a collective creation
which runs in the net as communication, art made of communication, which
brings people, who live very far, in contact; but we also play on the
semantic limit between real and virtual; so we realize this collaborative
performance also as concrete, "real" thing out of the net, in
remote places of the planet, as installation, performance, exhibition,
and then we bring it again in Internet, as web site. The virtual action
took place March 21, the real performances happened contemporaneously
21-23 March, the exhibitions / installations are still visible in the
real spaces and now on line.
