<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nuclear, fervente, vagarosa, esta pergunta ter-se-á encaminhado num momento indeterminado das minhas profundezas para depois sedimentar-se ao ritmo descontínuo em que tudo se forma quando arrefece.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Diante de mim, a passagem de um comboio com o exacto comprimento milimétrico da minha existência. Apesar dos olhos impecavelmente abertos, apenas avisto em algumas janelas acenos vidrados e alguns rostos vagamente familiares. Continuei impassível.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fecho os olhos, permito que avance sobre mim uma massa compacta de bruma; acomoda-se, cinge-me, molda-me.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Abro os olhos de repente. Diante de mim um plano infinito, sem rasto de pássaros, nada que consiga distinguir, ruídos, cores ou formas. Nada renuncio, fecho os olhos. Ali estive um longo momento, sem tempo a contar, sem qualquer intromissão de peso ou dor.</span></div>

<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">What does the line of interstice<b> </b>in Sérgio Costa’s painting series “Strata” think it is?Is the interstice just a geological necessary byproduct of the tension of movement and fixation and thus a plane of consistency? Can we construct strata (stratification de- and re-stratification) as a valid model not just for a geopictorical view but also a geo- attentional view derived from Costa’s work? I don’t think so. Strata articulate an >interstice modality< of a) territorializing as non-discursive (visible) and b) discursive (sayable), coding. Are the interstice lines of Sérgio Costa’s Strata this empty infinite <i>horror vacui</i> of a search for a central chamber, the central onion peel? That means do we by contemplating strata fall into a void, a clueless “eternal pause” (Heiner Müller) or an earthless infinite ocean where the land has broken up behind us as in Nietzsche’s infinity: Beware! Strata #1 is missing! No original painting, no original layer of the world can be presented in the strata doubles. In Sérgio Costa’s>Strata< series we are not dealing with a collection of representative depictions or illustrations of scientific sedimentary rock samples, in which the principle of original horizontality holds. Instead, Costa´s work shows how the de- stratifying assembling machine of stratification questions horizontality as a principle of composition and systematic tectonics (e.g. stratification of knowledge construction) not only of the image in itself but also of thinking in general as strata of orientation and its orientation of the non-stratified. Sérgio Costa in his painting series “Strata” from Strata#2(2008)-Strata#14 (2011) applies the following principles: </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">[2] He de-stratifies the quality of the image by forcing the contrast to extremes of pure black areas and then marks the dark areas (I call this attentional contrast stratification that is also a diagrammatization process). This is achieved by photocopying processes of photos taken to push contrast levels </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">[4.1] The recent works Strata, however, shift these principles and aim specifically at a variation of the fourth principle of Strata by adding different monochromatic colour variations into the Strata series as in the examples S#29 (Cobalt Blue Monochrome); S#34 (Cold Grey Monochrome); S#36 (Cassel Earth Monochrome); S#38 (Lamp Black Monochrome). </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">In a first phase of monochromatic strata spectrum differentiation (#28 to #32) (except #28 which is in under pictorial experimentation and observation) he started to work on the photographic recording of long stratification processes. In these painting experiments, he composes through digital editing, resulting in a series of cracks, gaps and interstitial lines, which suggest a structure and its vertical implementation — starting with the monochromatic Strata (#16 and #17) and the dimensionality of perception experimentations in his anaglyphic strata paintings (#19-#21). Still, this time the opposite spatial principle lies at the core, not a strengthening of a 3-dimensional painting space perception, but a focus on a flat 2D surface ontology of a plane of immanence in which the importance given to registering the contrast and colour differences in terms of a more realistic approximation to an object of the physical world is highly reduced. The premise of the work would be a higher concentration on drawing and immanent planarity, allowing repeating exercises in describing a surface, the painting gestures suggest constellations of forms that stand out from backgrounds less than in the Strata before and the shift away from contrast rich photorealism aesthetics towards reflection of the image editing process but with means of canvas, paint and the gesture of tainting into one color and mood. This selection processes now proceed without the distraction of the use of a colour logic, as one colour is simply predominant and its fine differences are based on monochromatic adumbrations. There is, however, colour in this first set, not for characterizing perceptive structures but as a transforming element to blur outlines of less saturated contrasts to create a painted map with tenuous greys and even intense overflows of chromatic saturation.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Costa started with a roll of paper 10 meters by 1.6 meters, which he unrolls about 2 meters at a time in the conditions of the studio. Objects, cloths and papers are placed on the surface, covering it entirely and being removed after applying the black spray. The “cloud” of spray, very thin and diffuse, always ends up finding a path between the objects, to the surface of the paper, creating very subtle stains and indicative of this process of presence and removal. The Remnant Drawing series continues the works in the exhibition “Ground” (2015) - spray on paper. In the exhibition >Ground< (2015), Sérgio Costa revisits the still and remaining topic of the lived experience/the fall-out of the rest of lived bodies, corpses of what we were, a trace of cloud, of snow-like body-lines, the being a sexual body and its adumbrations of sexuality, though only atmospheric spray cloud of lines of scattered embodiment of grounding, a oxytocin-induced remedy attraction of a deserted ground in which we become leaving lines that properly desire a grounding onto an atmospheric body, always already a vapor and temporary decay and despite being remnant rests of lines, contours and shadows, never fully at rest. Any form for the un-formable that only spreads, cloud, sprayed haze, temporally rapidly decaying, aggregating image noise, to enable to be touched by the unknown, irresistible frequency of recurring motifs. Any futile attempt to force the cloud and stain into another intended form by diffusion would result in the immediate collapse of the entire oscillation, the interruption of our lifeline. These remnant lines that show open projective vectors, of enhanced conditions of meeting of self and other, in which no finite grounding is possible, no extracting of a concentrated notion of anything, nor the possibility of pushing the atmosphere of grounding into a single lived space is given, no show and last call for a singular physiology take-off and landing, no possibility of forcing us onto a single central stratum or identity, nor horizon line of thought in sight of an individual body, but bodily nebulae, unable to recognize itself as a ground: in hacking the movement of the cloud outfall to the paper sheets, Costa reaches out for the atmospheric skin of the other, the other margin of a projective vector, that is suspended by the matter behavior of mixed air and paint an homeless-radiant fall-out on paper, a memory-dissolution machine of our continuous desire to arrive at a ground, a fundamental uncertainty, even a clarity of longing for a ground, though the observation and next linage of truthful auto-operation, is infinitely suspended in the air: >Ground< under-, over-, and ungrounded Space outer space, corpse outer corpse, sex outer sex, groundlessness outer groundlessness... The premise of the Remnant Drawings are rests, relics of this desire for grounding, reactivated to act on a large format surface involving a body in the process. More incisive stains populated some sheets, others more tenuous, others almost imperceptible, fragile, incomplete, alive. </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">If you hack something, you might not only invade the privacy of a data system but as well enact unusual or improvised alterations to equipment or processes. Hacking can be a method to cut something with rough strokes or take it apart, hack it into pieces, barehanded or by the help of tools. Hacking restructures the technical and artistic use that has not been thought about while inventing a technical or artistic object, such as the spay clouds that the remnant drawings bare witness. </span></span></span></div>

In this sense, even the iconoclastic slob attacks with a knife on “Who’s afraid of red, yellow and blue” can be seen as the diagrammatic introduction of a line of orientation after the total loss or destruction of what was there in the first place. </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">In Costa, the fragmentation of image that emerge from the leftover elements as rudimentary deviations on a path from myth to logos and back to uncanny zones of perception, attended in 5x5cm squares, remind us not only on the format of Portuguese tiles- just that here we are confronted with black, white and greyness, no tourist attraction but sedimented spray clouds dust that stays after the hordes of tourists went away in Lisbon at the dock. Costas 200x5cm that are recomposed possession-less things to 1-meter square scraps in Sérgio Costas 2020 works are based on discarded sheets, the rests of a paper session in a playground of colour contrast lines and cuts. They transmit a lingering dark disturbance: Pulverized, hacked, cut thought flour, rests, and light crumbs easy to blow off your hand. Dust that lies on the gleaming edge of great works. A small reflecting cloud rises, particles glistening darkly in the falling evening sun. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36px;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">These remnant pieces of paper were repeatedly cut and at a certain moment stoped to be discarded. They were stripped of their halo, their obvious sublime and surprise effect. The transcendent aura has gone for good. Something of a map of ghost towns is installed in these works, such as the area of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster or Chernobyl, where no one is anywhere near who could be fascinated with the novelty occupied by technical new artefacts and art techniques or the sudden electronic eruption of public attention: the artwork has disappeared, only leftover recursive fragmentation of the paper sheets that gain a new sublime in what rests us, an uncanny notion of undefined but highly ordered sprayed greyness between black and white grey mathematized zones of outside of time, hoarded in time-banks and rematerialized as if being digital dust in which no sun shines nor a day breaks or a new world goes under, or even originates. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36px;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Hacking into what rests after the image is hacked, until we are defined as hackable beings, until this hacking process halts and stops to be an image or at least ceases to be of the original and habitual interest when the paper is already so small that a pre-programmed suggestion of the intentionality of a specific indication, mark or gesture, fades. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36px;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Sérgio Costa created a 5x5cm square module paper hacking machine. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Grouped according to a shade of grey, sometimes as dark way beyond the Suprematist “Zero of Form” in Malevich’s black square, and its dark history of what it was that it overpainted with black taint. A joke? A reference to something higher or much lower, the sublime of trash? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36px;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Sometimes as light enters an image, as sedimentation and erosion of material residuals crack open fissures and unintended craters and lines of flight appear in Earth Works in the tradition of Smithson appear, we question ourselves and how do we observe how do we approach an image, how we have to transport the image out of its artistic frame, how to escape the Academy or the Society of Fine Arts, and its stratification of how to produce art works? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1c1e29; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36px;">
<span lang="PT" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-kerning: none;">As the grounding in the white of the paper becomes a hacking machine it starts to only contain information of particular value about aesthetic qualities, a play of greyscale, bluescales in a hinge of an almost not even noticeable game of colour bifurcations, rather sedimentations. The politics of reassembling these smaller fragments, not to replace any original, but through the creation of an informational collection grouped from the different shades of grey reminds on the resolution of tiny pixels that recompose a new image, entering statistical orders and ordered networks of darker to lighter and from left to right. What however these squares lack is the dimension of big-data structures of the many and they would in this sense only gain an <i>image sujet</i> in the moment of sufficient distance and highest resolution. But Costas works is a low-resolution work on the human perceptional scale. The inherent lack of distance and completeness of these pre-images or informational inceptions of an image are by no means a defect but their advantage, as they make us aware that we are part of these squares, grey and shadowy, ordinated by orientations such as greyscales or left to right. Strange squares, zones of gaps perception, we observers lie -the more we watch, the more at the centre of the 200x5cm2 work. We, humans, are these hackable squares re-composable, reusable, the remnants after an image fall-out, we are the given in the square the image after the image data companies and statistical Markov chains clear up their overcrowded clouds after the shortcuts are installed and the politics fixed, we the spray, the noise, we the fall-out of digital dust without dawn, all grey projected light, no darkness of a slow cinema, no time image: Just a click and finger movement away and a spray of electronic breeze, and the algorithmic <i>Deus ex Maquina</i>, the generated image, the epistemic line appears as a body shadow, a deviation by the material that resists the direct information of colour, then we are hacked in our perception, then recomposed in our reflection and might be partitioned in our life into 5cmx5cm squares of Strata and their remnant detection that rests upon us.</span></span></span><br />

dispersão de tinta através da técnica de “spray” sobre papel descobre a extensividade
como um acidente inseparável da própria matéria da pintura. O excesso de tinta
que se dispersou para além da área pintada revela uma continuidade simultânea
entre os objectos, um evento que se desdobra através<span style="color: red;"> </span>do
próprio processo de construção; superfícies em extensão</span><span lang="PT" style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> que embora </span><span lang="PT" style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">posteriormente

enquanto “fundo” do fundo introduz um espaço de passagem, um esvaziamento que
cria ressonância. Tal como uma dobra é sempre dobrada no interior de uma dobra,
esta exerce uma torção sobre a superfície, presume um interior e um exterior,
superfície e fundo. A acção de dobrar_desdobrar manifesta de cada vez e
simultaneamente um diferencial que caracteriza uma ocorrência em termos de contracção_dilatação,
envolvimento_desenvolvimento, tensão_distensão.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a superfície da pintura na sua integridade, seja fundamentalmente restritiva -
espaço das hesitações, incapacidades, da insolência dos materiais; a sua supressão

experience though: the intimacy of the small and medium scale gullies

these explosive events we become reminded on our temporal and rhythmical

be happening in distinguishable temporal orders and not simultaneous, or the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fusion threshold</i> of 2-3ms in which

principles such as >original horizontality< in which sedimentary rock
strata are supposed to form in horizontal positions. >Strata< question
horizontally layered archives of reality. </span>In
Sérgio Costa’s series Strata we are given a new diagramming strategy of art not
only by the means of painting but as well by changes of dimension in strata
experiments from 2012 onwards introducing a fragmentary map principle in Strata
#15 and an anaglyphic principle in Strata #19, #20, #21 as shown first in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Geological Museum of Lisbon</i> (5<sup>th</sup>

One stratum therefore serves the others as a “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">substratum</i>”(Deleuze/ Guattari, A thousand Plateaus) -and one might
add- as double pinchers of a lobster (Deleuze/ Guattari’s image of strata) or
as earthly rock layers, or atmospheric strata as well the stratified peel of an
onion. Strata-layers can be rigid or twisted, elastic or tense; in any case
strata move, can be moved and are not timeless, but on the contrary, even that
we as humans might observe them as relatively stabile, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">strata are already part of a time lag and a local shift</i>, as are
strata of experiences, or as we call them here: attentional strata that Sergio
Costa develops. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

“disillusive moment” identify with rock. However, Costa’s work is a meditations
on the virtualization of our (visible) and touchable supposedly stable and firm
reality. </span>It is therefore not merely a matter of deciding, whether the Strata-maps are
indexical or related with a material object (the territory of the painting) or

and strategy of orientation in Strata #15, #17, #18 a series of three Strata oil
paintings that come close to the former principle of Costa’s work on “Sampling
puzzles” in order to create maps to orient in an ungrounded world.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">In its majority the oil on canvas/linen >Strata< paintings are
composed of at least two strata or layers that we perceptually unify habitually
at first sight- the exception hereby are >Strata< #5 and anaglyphic
Strata #19, #20, #21 that seem to convey a unity of the image, however one has
to remember that the >Strata <s>[#1]<</s> is missing and as such a first
strata or grounding of reality in Sergio Costa confronts us with the anti-foundationalist
multiplicity of >strata< and his artistic strategy of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">destratification</i>. Therefore the line in
between the two layers of the image are sometimes more (#2, #6, #8-11, #13-14,
#16) sometimes less (#3, #4, #7, #12) visible <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">interstice</i> lines between two parts depicting stratified calcium
formations on the oil painting, leading us to a geo-philosophical reflection on
strata in the tradition of Nietzsche, Foucault, Deleuze or recently Negarestani.

This means: >Strata #15< shows other strata not only as rests of maps,
but Strata#15 also shifts our attention towards the fact that strata in the
sense of Sérgio Costa are foremost maps, and as such would be better studied - not
in the science of geography or geology- but “in painting” -as Deleuze famously
claimed in his small and precious text “What Children say”. Strata #15 is an
excellent way to study painting as map-making- a temporarily orienting strategy
in time, space and affective intensity- and all of it still in the making. </span></span><span class="Heading3Char"><span lang="PT" style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-fareast-language: DE;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Heading3Char"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The closer one
gets to Costa’s >Strata< the more the process view of painting as
map-creation becomes visible, the more far the observer distances herself from
the >Strata<, the more virtual the surface of Costa’s art in general
becomes. >Strata 15< is also the place where Costa’s >strata< are openly
stratified formations and map at the same time, ruler and pencil, hand and
thought, breath and rhythm., all on the surface. Thus >Strata< #15
invites us to go beyond the possibilities we always imagined things to be in
their historical stratified forms and methods- and in relation to our lives.

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There is another important new
dimension in this series of >Strata< from 2013-2014 starting with
underdetermined proto-amorphous things: The forming of mesh of clay and the
drying of the wet mesh through which its porosity appears in Strata #20 and
#21, exhibited in a showcase before we had entered the exhibition space at the
Geological Museum. And even after transporting these frail underdetermined
things into the realm of painting, in which we can see them as paradoxes
(simultaneously a proto-brain slice or/and a slice of petrified toasted bread)
our imagination while observing these >things< is unlimited in a trivial
matching game of similarity. The concreteness of these sub-(jectival) objects
brings us further due to its contextual embeddings and transport into the realm
of a museum space, the geological museum, in the building of the Portuguese
Academy of Sciences. Strata of Sergio Costa turn into a “real counterpart”, a
virtual syncope of petrified objects, first conceptually exhibited in the Lisbon
Museum of Geology in the building of the Portuguese Academy of Sciences, an
artistic principle of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ungrounding</i> and
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">virtualization</i> of the material Museum
space and its displayed objects, and the putting into question of scientific
grounding or the “un-changeability” of scientific laws and orthodox orders. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
In >Strata< #20 and #21 the porosity that is an
openness of craters and valleys unlike its geological counterpart of
sedimentation can be put into perspective as artistic strategy opposed to an
geological sedimentation principle of stratification. Costa´s >Strata<
exhume the fixity of our habitual perception of things and thus strata as rock
layers start decomposing, while not even the most hard rock on which religions
belief to be build, escapes this <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">virtualizing</i>
principle of de-stratification or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ungrounding</i>.
By the introduction of new anaglyphic works of strata, Sergio Costa can now be
seen in 3D, without any need to go to a multiplex cinema- the cinematic
anaglyphic mode in 2014 reached the geological museum, it catapults the
observer to a nature 2.0. The more the observer seems to recover in this
optical illusion the “original” 3D structure of the object in study, in a
“regrounding” of reality, the more he tries to root them on a platonic plane,
the more >strata< virtualize and ungrounds. <o:p></o:p></div>

Exhumation the distribution of surfaces is thoroughly undermined and the
movements associated with them are derailed; the edge no longer belongs to the
periphery; anterior surfaces come after all other surfaces, layers of strata
are displaced and perforated, peripheries and the last protecting surfaces
become the very conductors of invasion. Exhumation is defined as a collapse and
trauma introduced to the solid part by vermiculate activities; it is the body
of solidity replaced by the full body of trauma. As in disinterment — scarring
the hot and cold surfaces of a grave — exhumation proliferates surfaces through
each other. Exhumation transmutes architectures into excessive scarring
processes, fibroses of tissues, membranes and surfaces of the solid body.” <o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There is, however, a way more important new
dimension in this series of strata from 2013-2014 starting with underdetermined
proto-amorphous things: The forming of mesh of clay and the drying of the wet
mesh through which its porosity appears in Strata #20 and #21, exhibited in a
showcase before we enter the exhibition space. And even after transporting
these frail underdetermined things into the realm of painting, in which we can
see them as paradoxes (simultaneously a proto-brain slice or/and a slice of
petrified toasted bread) our imagination while observing these things is
unlimited in a trivial matching game of similiarity. The concreteness of these
sub(jectival) objects brings us further due to its contextual embeddings and
transport into the realm of a museum space, the geological museum, in the
building of the Portuguese Academy of Sciences. Strata of Sergio Costa turn
into a “real counterpart”, a virtual syncope of the petrified objects exhibited
in the museum, an artistic principle of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ungrounding</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">virtualization</i> of the
museological material space and its displayed objects.</span><span lang="DE" style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In Strata #20 and #21 the
porosity that is an openness of craters and valleys unlike its geological
counterpart of sedimentation can be put into perspective as artistic strategy
opposed to an geological sedimentation principle of stratification. The most
easily observable change in this new experimental strata series of Costa in
2014 is the introduction of another perceptual dimension, the anaglyphic two
color outlines that create a 3D effect of a 2D painting, a diagram based on the
interplay of two colors added to the actual painting, virtualizing the
stratification. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Costa´s Strata exhume the fixity of our habitual perception of things
and thus strata as rock layers start decomposing, while not even the most hard
rock on which religions belief to be build, escapes this virtualizing principle
of de-stratification or ungrounding. By the introduction of new anaglypyic
works of strata, Sergio Costa can now be seen in 3D, without any need to go to
a multiplex cinema- the cinematic anaglyphic mode in 2014 reached the
geological museum, it catapults the observer to a nature 2.0. The more the
observer seems to recover in this optical illusion the “original” 3D structure
of the object in study, in a “regrounding” of reality, the more he tries to
root them on a platonic plane the more strata virtualize and ungrounds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The exhibition of Sérgio Costa transposes the Geological Museum
intirely on the plane of his Strata. While presenting a transition of the
scientific plane of geologic objects shows an artistic strategy of
virtualization of a discrete and historical-material structured geological collection-
that in itself still preserved by the influence of a Baroque intention of the
Wunderkammer. Costa´s exhibition transports the entire museum onto the plane of
his strata. Thus by showing a transition of the scientific plane of actuality
of geological objects in a space-fold of the Museum space officially dedicated
to art, Costa allows us to grasp the strategy of virtualization of
stratification by the artistic diagrammatic machine of his paintings. This
principle of virtualization becomes actualized by a showcase that displays
Costa’s Strata three-dimensional Strata studies made of a demiurgic claylike
material always already in decay, in rupture: material strata syncope. The
interest of these strange object is exactly located in their fragility, their
porosity exhuming strata in decay,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> a
