Dearest Friend… ( Amice Suavissime …) last week of light, art and water! Till 17 January 2016 #amsterdamlightfestival #amsterdam #publicartexperience
Background emotions and the related moods are heavily influenced by overall exposure to light in terms of hours and intensity #antoniodamasio #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
What if religious sentiment will settle in a neural electricity? #baruchspinoza #huizeplantage #elpais #luispancorbo #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
We are both the observers and the wonderers, knowing each one and changing with its every turn. #stedelijkmuseum #amsterdamlightfestival #amsterdam #madrid #groningen #belval
Our understanding of time is also based on the speed of light and vice a versa.

At Spinoza’s time the day of the week was always the same for days occurring in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, however, the day of the month for any given solar day was different in each calendar. #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
There where two calendars in the seventhy century.

Merry Christmas! #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
“Don’t imagine there’s room for everyone in the museum. Perhaps for a few who are really interested in it. But there is room for everyone in other places. You can use art in all sorts of ways. Society needs you.” Michelangelo Pistoletto #publicartexperience #amsterdamlightfestival #amsterdam
The same elephant was then painted in a large format onto the wall of the #stedelijkmuseum and the same sequence of images was projected on to the painting. The intention of the work, was to give a symbolic space to all those who have lost their homes. #publicartexperience #amsterdamlightfestival #amsterdam

How is Art History Made?
Who give the value to this or other artist? Seth Siegelaub #stedelijkmuseum #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
“My gallery is the world now” Seth Siegelaub idea was that an exhibition could be a letter, a light, a river, the entire world!!! #stedelijkmuseum #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
Europe is a symbioses of many cultural influences #irmadevries mapping at Illuminade #amsterdamlightfestival #publicartexperience #amsterdam
When Spinoza died in 1677, in The Hague, he was still at work on his “Political Treatise”, that was soon published in Amsterdam by his friends. #amsterdamlightfestival #illuminade #publicartexperience #amsterdam

Sometimes it seems that the bridge never is going to be opened, but you just have to wait. #amsterdamlightfestival #universityofamsterdam #publicartexperience #amsterdam
As you well know, Spinoza opened the bridge for secular and enlightenment thoughts.#amsterdamlightfestival #universityofamsterdam #spinozasdag #publicartexperience #amsterdam
Spinoza’s views on religion, politics and philosophy were considered extremely controversial and dangerous at his time. #amsterdamlightfestival #universityofamsterdam #publicartexperience #amsterdam
“The rule that governs interpretation must be nothing other than the natural light that is common to all, and not any supernatural light, nor eternal authority.” Spinoza #amsterdamlightfestival #universityofamsterdam #publicartexperience #spinozasdag #amsterdam
