VĂctor Valqui Vidal Mathematician, Engineer, Sociologist, Poet and Visual Artist For me Art is a way to express my ideas, reflections, socio-political concerns and visions about a better World. It is storytelling using different kind of materials, techniques, images, symbols and mixed media. I do not seek a specific style, but I combine in creative ways different symbols, styles, schools and techniques to tell my story.
For me the creative aspect in Art is more essential than aesthetics. In my creative work I seek to break boundaries and constraints due to material, traditions or routines. I usually seek in my work ambiguity, humour, criticism, playfulness and weirdness. I make Art for the brain not for the eyes. My pieces of art usually demand participation and involvement of the viewer, they are though provoking. The next photos show one piece and a link to Facebook where you can see other works. There you can also contact me or write to: vvv@imm.dtu.dk My CV can be found in: http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/~vvv/cv_art_extended1.pdf
VĂctor Valqui Vidal Matematico, Ingeniero, Sociologo, Poeta y Artista Visual. Para mi el arte es una manera de expresar mis ideas, reflexiones, asuntos socio-politicos y visiones acerca de un mundo mejor. Es contar una historia usando diferentes clases de materiales, tecnicas, imagenes, simbolos, y media mixta. Yo no busco un estilo especifico, pero yo combino en modos creativos simbolos diferentes estilos, escuelas y tecnicas para decir mi propia historia. Para mi el aspecto creativo en arte es mas esencial que lo estetico. En mi trabajo creativo yo busco quebrar forntaras y limitaciones debidas al material, tradiciones y rutinas. Usualmente busco en mi trabajo ambiguedad, humor, critica, juego y rareza. Yo hago Arte para el cerebro no para los ojos. Mis obras de arte usualmente demandan participacion y envolvimiento del espectador, ellas son provocadoras.

Visual Poetry The daughter of both poetry and the visual arts, visual poetry has a double set of interests and its forms are enormous. Some visual poets continue to create traditional poems that require a certain visual context in which to properly mean - a context so important that it serves as a critical component of a unified text. Others focus entirely on letter shape, drawing out the beauty of these pieces of language either in isolation (sometimes focused on parts of letters) or in swirling clouds of characters. The original forms of visual poetry were easier to define. Their fusion consisted merely of giving conventional poems an essential visual structure. These poems are heavily metrical, rhyme, and take advantage of varying line lengths to concentrate its verbal message. Few visual poems these days function as poems do. Instead, they encompass a wide range of verbal-visual creations that focus on the textual materiality of language. The form includes poems written as mathematical equations, collage poems, xerographic pieces that include no words but concentrate on the meaning that has built up within the shapes of letters, and even having no specific semantic content in invented scripts created to mean through shape rather than word. Visual poetry is written for the eye, but its methods and intentions, even in those works most limited in their verbal content, are always poetic, always compelling the reader forward into the transformative power of language, always entranced by - and entrancing through - the text that is before us. Visual poetry provides a reading challenge to most readers, because the methods of interpreting information vary widely. Some poems read linearly, just as a traditional poem would. Many others utilize individual words outside of any traditional syntax, requiring the reader to find connections that are suggested only spatially. Most contemporary visual poems fragment words into pieces, forcing the reader to delve ever more deeply into the text to sift meaning out. One important notion to keep in mind while looking at visual poetry is that it makes sense via more than just the text itself. Colour, shape, and arrangement - including proximity to, and integration with, images - are important elements in the meaning of any visual poem. We are living through what might be the greatest age of visual poetry, in a time when the methods of production and distribution are such that the form can prosper without the need for extensive capital. A convergence of factors—which include the Internet, print-on-demand publishing, and an increasing interest in the visual and textual—has allowed this hybrid form to flourish across the planet. In this booklet I include 48 of my own visual poems. Any comment is mostly welcomed. Victor Valqui Vidal vvv@imm.dtu.dk http://vvv591.wix.com/victor-vidal
