“Posse ipsum est omnium quiditas et hypostasis,
in cuius potestate tam ea quae sunt, qua mea quae
non sunt, necessario continentur”
NICOLAUS VON KUES, De apice
theoriae, 1464 |

1. It had seemed very
haphazard setting a communications machine into operation
which is of the nature of possessing a dual soul, a
humanistic one and a scientific one, while at the same time
pretending that such an apparatus was suited to carrying out
surveys in all the numerous variations that are to be found
in the world of technics in all its vastness, in that
immense area of industry where application and research
chase one another, generating an infinite number of
processes, in the reading of which lies the forge of most
meaningful contemporary art, and in particular, cinema.

Other companies have started
to pay attention, when not to adhere to the “numbers” and
“letters” that the “Atlante…” is collating. Perhaps they
have identified a typology of quality, perfectible of course,
as well as a new attempt to observe and narrate things,
underpinned by enthusiasm and passion. It is then that the
doors of these places of contemporary reality, where things
come about, open. Sure, there is so much pain still in the
world of work, and so many of those old hells, too, but it
is precisely for this reason that witness must be borne to
new situations, to other possibilities, to human landscapes
where work activity becomes, may become the expression of
the self.

3. But we could also speak
much about that which succeeded least, even among those
medium-term goals. We can also envisage the “Atlante di
numeri e lettere” project being once and for all adjusted,
along its basic guidelines, in the next issue. As for
arriving at an observatory of objects that have been chosen
in advance, through which we capture material for reflection
upon the changing course of life. Naturally, there is still
a lot to be done if we are to meet the original goals. As
far as business situations are concerned, for example, the
idea of going into a business, and narrating it by means of
a project, a story, an occurrence.

4. From
this second issue, the thematic centre of gravity moves
towards the index, intended as series of sections, which in
filigree allow a reconfiguration of the supporting structure
to filter through. It is probable, with the accentuation of
this process, that the need fails for defining a given theme,
from time to time: which is now dedicated to energy. The
appearance of a sub-title: ethics and aesthetics within the
becoming of technics confirms this reconfiguration. We
therefore outline those values that have come out till now,
or better still certain original intentions are confirmed,
others are cleared of obscurity, or else they evolve or
change, or new ones are aroused.

Cultural traces being considered, do not seem to be lacking
in similarities. Giulio Giorello’s thinking, for example,
like a bright shining light magnificently helps this type of
pan-communicative syncretism that can be revived in those
routes that “Atlante di numeri e lettere” tries to imprint
into its surveys. Thus it is for philosophy which has to be
transported everywhere and let mix together with other
disciplines, be part of every type of degree course.
