Since it is a painting project in progress, it was clear to me from the start that it would not be the classic slide show commented on by the artist: [[../../Info/Ecosistema/Hangar|Hangar]] is a [[../../Lecturas/Poesia/Lugar|place]] where the digital image is the norm, and for that very reason I considered it necessary to emphasise the singular material presence of painting, without losing sight of key values such as experimentation, research, sharing and open-source practice. I therefore opted for a performative format that met my communication needs while also allowing me to create something I could consider an artwork in itself. {% include project-gallery.html id="principal" %} My Paratext consisted of creating a live mind map along one of the walls of the Ricsson hall. A map that would explain the origins of the project, the references, the discoveries, the mistakes and the choices I had to make during its development. The use of different elements and languages (video, photo slideshow, objects, paintings, drawings, photographs, notes, letters, photocopies), connected to each other by arrows and texts written on the wall, allowed me to translate a hypertextual content organisation system into physical space. The presentation lasted about 40 minutes, was very well received and achieved all the goals set. The final work, a 15-metre-long mural made up of 52 pieces, remained on display to the public. > [!Docs] > - [[../pdfs/2016 - Paratext Vol.1.pdf|Paratext_vol1.pdf]] (pdf) > - [Paratext on Hangar.org](https://hangar.org/ca/category/paratext/)
