MATERIALITY & ABSTRACTION
For those born in the 1980s and 90s (of which I am one), certain images from our childhood strongly imprinted our minds with an idea of what the first decades of the 21st century would look like. Films such as Back to the Future and Blade Runner invited us to dream of what is now our present, back then a future that was perceived as distant, and when the era of home computers and mobile phones was in its infancy. I don’t know if reality has surpassed fiction, but I would venture to say that perhaps one of the factors behind Ezequiel Pini’s success is the fact that his growth in the digital world has mirrored that of technology. His project, Six N. Five, is a creative platform that designs virtual worlds in which he twists the socially constructed, collective imagination in order to create a new place that begins with human reality but with the intention of going far beyond it. To the point where there is no limit.
