Accordingly, in this art piece, the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath as a non-living being capable of sharing the same plane of existence as living beings is superimposed with the idea of \u200b\u200bcomputerization.\n\u200bWhat stands out from this relationship is the questioning of a relationship that, although apparently dynamic (due to physical ruptures and metamorphoses), remains perpetual through time, therefore static. A chess piece that was once carved in ivory or wood is now a set of lights on a screen. A game of chess that started hundreds of years ago and the pawns continue to move forward only one space per turn. The opponent that we face is both existing and non-existent, both anxious for victory and indifferent to defeat. So, to avoid this burden and to forget the inevitable, we put the board back on the table and challenge another solitary player for a game, this is nothing more than an attempt to forget the disaster while we fight for a fleeting victory.","space":"This is a wall piece. Due to it's dimensions and weight, it should be placed with screw bushings and screws.This piece structure is robust, but - when it isn't on the wall  - it should be placed horizontaly on the ground, using its iron frame as a base. \nIn terms of installation, it should be placed in the wall with its center at the level of viewers eyes and should be near a natural or not natural light, so it reveals the carved image hidden in frontal view.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":4,"names":"Romano","surname":"Saraiva","email":"saraiva.romano@gmail.com","dni_type":"CI","dni":"14829369  7  ZY2","address":"Rua Infante D.
