La Fuerza de la Imaginación Libre

“forces of fantasy and artistic imagination” It is such a simple phrase but it has its complexity at the same time. Now we can take for granted the fact that everyone has a free imagination and ideas of their own, which are respected and can be shown to the world. However, we still have that small part of the past before 1920 where architecture and art, along with the environment that surrounds it, contain ideological, political and/or social implications that can intervene in free thought when creating.

There comes a point where the industry builds such a robotic environment in which those small fragments of art and one’s own imagination are massively created, which no longer remain for oneself or as something original. Furthermore, society is so used to seeing the same thing everywhere that if someone wants to create something different or not based on something that already exists, it is considered unusual, strange and can even generate looks of rejection.

For all that has been said, it is a good thing to make works or create environments where the viewer is not only invited to participate, but to recreate and continue the process inherent to the same work, thus increasing their participation and creative activity, becoming a stimulant of the viewer’s consciousness.

Only after overcoming the realm of necessity and moving to a system without contradictions, without artistic laws or limits on the imagination will we realize that it does not matter how many mistakes are made when creating since one is learning and that free imagination also has a great force that, until now, is retained in some folder in the software of a robotic society wanting to be free. “You create art when you make mistakes and misinterpret the rules.”
