Biography
Pino Boresta is from a lot of years is engaged in the being an artist “against” and that he search to do is Shit art, as Claudio Morici says in his book , edited in the last june of this 2004, “Teorie e tecnica di un’artista di Merda”, looking with a sarcastic point of view le contemporary art. Where Morici is still ideally connected with the book of the great Philip Dick. But what’s the meaning? A shit artist by the way like Morici says is an artist who doesn’t ’t live about his art and have the classical problems connected with a common way of life, the problem of having money. So the artist of shit do a lot of other works, and he search to be alive in this mood of convenience because he doesn’t live with his art, but he still do art, knowing his destiny, without the necessity of be famous.
Boresta, in the meantime it’s a joker, and artist who wants to pirate the common sense of thinking; permeating also the detournament in the net with web project, according Guy Debord’s theory and critic of the society of spectacle, and he is still fascinated, as he say to me, by internet as a new democratic system of communication and by the web and net art.
Also Boresta is on line with two web projects cryptic and cynic like a cybernetic man as to be called: Where do spermatozoa go? And Hey Friend What’s Matter. The aim is, in the first one, to make public and to be on line with all the intimate going, creating ,again, a romantic union between life and art. A situation where Boresta make him self in the joke of the spectacle without limits, creating also a sort of short circuit according to a line of thinking of where everything can be also art also in a Punk view, where also every one can search and see all having a relation ship with his life connected in the virtual reality by his single machine.
