Volume 2 - Issue 2

Volume-2-Issue-2The early embryonic life: a Place harboring the information for our journey throughout the adulthood. The image is captured from a textile artwork (Julia von Stietencron, Art Director of VID, Visual Institute of Developmental Sciences, Bologna, Italy) representing the primordial of life as the self-assembling of forms in the presence of physical energies (i.e. electromagnetic energy and mechanical/sound vibration) symbolized by dark/light patterning and colored beams spreading throughout a network of assembling morphogenetic layers. A movie of the artwork (10 m long, 3 m high, 3 m wide) represented as an audio/video installation, with light and sound vibration is available at: Youtube.com
