The exhibition was curated by Ruggero Maggi. The essays and art works in this book all relate to the chaos and fractal theory in mathematics, art and poetry. As Angelo Bertani writes in his essay, On Apparent Order and Chaos, "What seems to be extremely significant is the artist's need (now extremely widespread) to go out from protected, appointed places and instead, contend directly with existence, with the richess of material, with the spaces of life: in this sense, the creeping crisis of painting, the growing prevalence of installations and video-works are a sign, beyond the current fashion of the will to contend with change, accident and the relative: the other names for chaos. Moreover, in a world where technology prevails, perhaps only the ways of art can inser ta fragment of liberty into the oppressive mechanism of necessity." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
