META-CELESTIAL SAINTS
A Critical Text and Introduction by Sara Aliscioni
A pioneer of digital art, now also a crypto artist, Alessandro Bavari is considered one of the main representatives of contemporary surrealism.
The unedited narrative video series, Meta-Celestial Saints, a new iconographic vision in the era of Crypto Art, revolutionizes the classic representation schemes of the holy martyrs, although strongly influenced by them.
Among the characterizing elements of the individual videos that make up the series we find an unusual depiction of the halo, or nimbus, or the figurative attribute used in sacred art in different forms to identify the saint.
The circle of light, a symbol of perfection that surrounds the martyr's head, is the most frequently used form, but not the only one. There have been many interpretations of the light given by God to men and not only saints. Originally these were depicted with laurel wreaths, as were the emperors in the Byzantine era.
Together with the round halo, various emblems have been adopted: the radial one to indicate the blessed, the triangular one to symbolize the Trinity, the twelve stars to represent the Virgin Mary and the square to represent men and women still alive and close to the perfection of the saints.
Victims of the atonement, sacrificed on the altars, responsible for collective sins, even if innocent, the new Meta-Celestial Saints become absolute protagonists.
In the present day, the holy martyr becomes the symbol of the scapegoat as man is today in the different social scenarios in which he is accused, isolated, punished and scourged.
THE ELECTRIC SAINT
On January 20, 288 A.D., San Sebastian was scourged to death after being persecuted by the emperor Diocletian who tied him naked to a pole to be then pierced by multiple arrows.
With San Sebastiano, Alessandro Bavari introduces to the Crypto Art public the works inspired by the hagiographies of the holy martyrs in a personal, visionary and faithful way to his stylistic calligraphy.
The Saint is linked to a pyramid of cubes, recurring elements in different works by the artist such as the now famous “Metachaos” and the NFT work exhibited at the Permanent Museum in Milan "The taser macro-orgasmic dominium sense", which replace the trunk of tree or the Roman column used in classical iconography.
The halo is replaced by an electric circle that wraps the head while dazzling lightning bolts are infused on the chest of the white figure, in a classical plastic pose, illuminating the naked and new Saint Sebastian.
The original musical piece composed by Mauro Di Martino is the soundtrack, which combines deep and mystical sounds of strings with modified tunings, of the tammurra drum together with other classical musical instruments.
The musical motif, repeated in a loop that recalls that of ancient medieval dirges, insinuates itself into the minds in an obsessive and dreamlike way, almost with the intent of hypnotizing its listener.
Using a metaphorical structure and a techno (theo) logical approach, Alessandro Bavari places the Saint Sebastian in an indefinite space-time dimension that transcends reality to the point of becoming metaphysical.

Today I just dropped my THE TASER'S MACRO-ORGASMIC DOMINIUM SENSE video on SuperRare.
This NFT work belongs to Dart2121 exhibition. From the 23rd of November 2021 to the 6th of February 2022, Milan - Dart Museum - Permanente di Milano - Wrong Theory. NFT available on SuperRare.
“The Taser's macro-orgasmic dominium sense”, is the first of a series of 6 videos, intended as the natural continuation of Metachaos, a video made in 2011.
Each of these videos will be 1 minute long.
It represents the delusional aberration of the abuse of a pernicious instrument like the taser.

I was contacted by the curators and invited to join the artists of @SuperRare, one of the best known platforms, together with Nifty, Rarible, Opensea, etc. dedicated to the sale of NFTs.
Understanding its dynamics is very complicated, not to mention Metamask and the world of crypto currency, but I'm learning slowly. I am also understanding that it is essential to create a network of collectors and contacts, a parallel world to be reconstructed. Basically a second job. Will I be able to find the time to dedicate myself to this incredible new phenomenon, which finally validates digital art by allowing it to enter the Olympus of the noble arts? This is my page on @SuperRare:

"Alessandro, I don't want Metachaos, but I want it to be inspired by Metachaos." This is what Sir Ridley Scott told me at our first meeting after seeing my video Metachaos on internet. - Winner of the first prize as best animation in the 2011 edition of the Prix Ars Eletronica, Metachaos has earned the blazing Golden Nica, considered the Oscar of the electronic arts -. So Sir Ridley Scott asked Twenty Century Fox to hire me for the film Alien: Covenant as concept artist for the design and art direction of some sequences at MPC in London, specifically the genocide of Engineers scenes. This artwork was presented as a very first concept created: a set full of fractals and magnetic fields with a mixed construction technique based on elements of synthesis, 3D and photography (for example, these sorts of explosions around in the picture, were made by photographing iron dust stimulated by the magnetic field of the powerful Neodymium). This image was an important starting point, from which all other ideas were developed, removing, adding and modifying the elements of the various concepts that followed, up to the final film scene. The dimensions of the work are 10.000 * 7500 pixels, a size that allows you to obtain a wide print with optimal quality. I recommend printing on fine art paper Hahnemühle or Canson Infinity, considered unanimously as museum quality with a guaranteed durability of 200 years.
