Francesco Schianchi – Set of Rules

“The word discipline goes beyond its meaning from the subjective and personal point of view – a set of rules that everyone holds, in order to be able to deal with his own coherence and personal path. The term discipline, or rather disciplines, is mostly a definition of the various branches of the human knowledge, which got organized and structured as a set of contents which, in year 1000 a.C., merged into the Italian universities, and nowadays has completely disappeared.
We have to declare that the different disciplines are over. Today what emerges from reality and from the culture of the world can be defined as hybridization, contamination, ability to group together from various disciplines solicitations, contributions, which all together create a new knowledge, and which cannot be pigeonholed into the logic of the previous rules but becomes a knowledge of the world that the world itself is able to benefit today, daily. “
