I think that art is, above all, an intimate experience.
Therefore, I will share with you
some of the questions I make myself in order to build my work.
Do you have your cell phones at hand?
Those of you who don't, respond the questions inwardly
and enjoy the experience.
When you want to answer "yes" to the questions I'm going to ask,
turn on your phone screen
and face it towards the ceiling, upwards,
where a camera will record the result of our answers
and will project them on these screens.
There are two important things to make this work.
One is that when the answer is "no",
we take care to cover well the light of our phone,
so no light comes out, put it here,
as you see fit.
But let no light come out.
And the other important thing is that when we show our response,
we go back to darkness, in order to go together to the next question.
Now I'm going to ask you another question:
Is this the year 2015?
Now that we know how to respond,
let's start with the questions.
Do you feel that you are an animal?
Let's go to the second:
Do you use your gifts?
Would you like to feel less afraid?
Are you relieved by living on a planet that floats in space?
Do you like useless things?
(Laughter)
Joy, is it powerful?
Do you trust common sense?
Would you like your house to have wheels?
Do you have a place to cry?
Do you admire strangers?
Would you like to nap in your job?
(Laughter)
Is it possible to live less angry?
Do you like hanging out?
Are we ready for our thoughts to be heard?
Thank you very much.
I invite you to keep asking ourselves questions,
to keep creating images together.
Thank you.
(Applause)
