about neen

NEEN, is about "feelings". A new type of sublime sensations we have in our (computer) days.

"NEEN" in old Greek, means "exactly now".

Whoever does Neen, is a Neenstar.

The Neen Art Movement, is like a videogame in real life.

NEEN has been presented to the public at a press conference at Gagosian gallery in NY, in June of 2000. Here is the invitation for the event and here is the music that GNAC wrote for the evening.

Here is what the press wrote : the new york times, feedmag ,wired artnet,time out and medienkultur.

  		about neen & telic

Telic, a name appropriated from linguistics, means "something directed or tending towards a goal or purpose; purposeful". For example "I am driving to Los Angeles" is a Telic statement. "I am driving" is not. Telos, in Greek, means "the end" or "the purpose". 

Lets define Telic: Telic is magic through technology. Telic is our relationship with the tools which help us to design the World and to see things in a perspective. Our times are Telic. But we want to see more Neen happen.

Telic is Rem Koolhaas's S,M,L,XL . Telic is constructive: anything related with job, is Telic. People which are busy with aesthetics but who also have jobs and clients, are Telic.


But sometimes these Telic people produce very important Neen. It usually comes, as a small notion, hidden inside the nightmare of their job.

Neen in this cases, is what their clients don't understand but they don't have the courage to ask about.

Telic is serious : it makes sense. People recognize it and trust it.

Neen instead, is Telic that went nuts: you wouldn't believe that it's possible and even who makes neen cannot easily repeat it.

There are a few Neenstars, people without a specific profession who linger around us .

Telic is Giacometti , Neen is Fontana. Nature is Telic and miracles are Neen. Miracles which have a purpose , become Telic, stupid miracles instead, like the one where Jesus walks on the water, stay Neen for centuries. But again, if Jesus would come back today and he will start walking on the water, that would be Telic.

Really, there is no way to preserve Neen, because it expires after a second. Neensters are the people who are OK with this fact.
