The classroom
*The blackboard, as previously introduced in schools, has served to impart knowledge in a collective manner.*This rendered the teacher more independent in her or his education, freed from the textbook, using the sum of her or his acquired knowledge as a base for courses by grace of this artifact of slate.*With computers, we have become ever more autodidactic, more able to search specific information of our interests.*The courses given by virtual universities put in question the classroom itself: delocalization of education, a network that covers the whole planet. *A student could be in New York and take a course from a motivated professor in Mumbai.*In Nepal, is celebrated the day of Saraswati, goddess of education, also the day of the arrival of Spring, and is a grand festival for the children who have the right to write whatever they please on blackboards posed all around for them. *Explanatory notes for the project:“Please write something that may be useful to others”*Clean slate – let us commence anew*To give and receive knowledge*An opportunity to share and interact*A conversation with Socrates, a time capsule for future generations, transmitted by the written word*This work is completely open to the public, it could not exist without them, and it acts as a social sculpture*Such a social sculpture requires a free flow of information, democratic initiatives, the production-sites overcome barriers between structures, between knowledge and instinct, to become a genuine practice of interdisciplinary research where the organic and the technological, intuition and intellect would melt and reconfigure into new social wholes in which creativity can flourish.
