A participative project by: Rachel Morellet & José Bréval

Exhibition Opening: October 23rd, 5pm

LdM Gallery, Via de’ Pucci 4

The project is entitled “Dessine moi une Blave (Draw a blave for me)” in reference to The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The little prince asks the author to draw a sheep for him. As he did not know how to draw and the boy insisted, the author drew a box, which had become a symbol of imagination. The little prince was happy; the sheep was in the box.

 “Imagination is more important than knowledge” said A. Einstein, “because knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, as imagination embraces the entire world. Imagination is the only thing that can open our minds and our hearts to the possible, it is what gives us the power to invent.”

-The topic of the project is clearly imagination, this cognitive horizon that is unique for humans and that gave origin to inventions, creativity and art at some point in our existence.

-We believe that the language of art can further develop, extend and amplify any cultural or scientific study.

– We ask ourselves if it is possible to convey the creative power of imagination to the machines, some of the blaves were created with AI and some not. In the era of AI we ask ourselves what is the difference between the verbs: to create (give existence) and to generate (to produce).

-We would like to push human minds and spirits towards creativity, imagining new possibilities and scenarios that could also be useful in today’s society necessitating change and positive inputs.

-We believe in the power of imagination and creativity to bring effective positive changes.

-We believe that imagination and creativity contribute to general and personal well being.

-we believe that sharing moments of creativity and imagination helps with individual growth as well as with building a healthier society.

The Blave, once a whisper in the wind, has grown into a shared creation that transcends the boundaries of imagination, inviting us all to explore the wonders of creativity, collaboration, and the limitless possibilities that lie within the realms of art and science.
