we are the time. we are the famous.

we are the time. we are the famous.

Sonarmatica, the art show held alongside (or actually, underneath) the Sonar Music Festival in Barcelona. The title of the show - Future Past Cinema, curated by Oscar Abril Ascasos and Jose Luis de Vincentes. The concept was simple but effective - a mashup of Victorian zoetropes and media art. Here's the fabrica piece - We are the time. We are the famous. The title is taken from a Borges poem.

We are the time. We are the famous

We are the time. We are the famous
metaphor from Heraclitus the Obscure.

We are the water, not the hard diamond,
the one that is lost, not the one that stands still.

We are the river and we are that greek
that looks himself into the river. His reflection
changes into the waters of the changing mirror,
into the crystal that changes like the fire.

We are the vain predetermined river,
in his travel to his sea.

The shadows have surrounded him.
Everything said goodbye to us, everything goes away.

Memory does not stamp his own coin.

However, there is something that stays
however, there is something that bemoans.

Jorge Luis Borges
