After AIDS, these factors which traverse our world require from us a more elaborate, more evolved philosophy.
These meanings, which before AIDS were to be universally understood, are now undergoing dramatic changes. Discovering insight into these changes will be the first step ahead to living with AIDS, and within this process ART will become the material through which to imagine our evolution.

image and message
     
       
         
       
         
To traverse the system of borders/difference with all of one's imagination.
The courage to examine once more the saturation of meaning that ruptures us and the restoration of humanity that arrives at last.
A sublimating power spiraling into a pure white horizon from a pitch black plane composed of all manner of lines.
This perhaps approaches the image of an as yet unknown "invention of humanity."
