The society's Revolutionary process is usually compared with the Progress. The Faust of Goethe and the darwinian's teachings, together with the Science's infallibility, have often become the new Gods of modern man. Today the economical, social, cultural, religious, environmental, crisis of the Planet, assumes some epochal dimensions and it forces us to reconsider the pillar founding of the modernity.
A new evolution's theory is needed or better a Revoluzionism that, departing from the exploitation of the knowledge as an immaterial good and, therefore, not exhaustible, on one side discuss the concept of human superiority on the other forms of life and, on the other side, extend the Revoluzion's benefits to ampler categories of those that up to today have enjoyed of it and have made that the border between progress and privilege has been very thin.
Finally humans should understand that all scientific and technical discoveries, to be complete and effective, should be incorporated in interior, revaluing a non-material dimension of life.
We call this path: Revoluzionism, proposing with this new word a different technical and technological concept of progress and an exhortation to a parallel reflection on the man and on the relationships among this last and the other forms of life that surround us, near or distant.
Revoluzionism will be an installation of plastic works in Central Park in the run among the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Natural History in New York.
The subjects, in scale 1:5 in comparison to the human dimensions, will be turned toward the Natural History Museum symbolically accompanying us in a Revoluzional run from the Contemporaneity, identified with the Art of Metropolitan Museum, to the Nature and the Science that see their landing in the Museum of Natural History, but also the beginning of a new Revoluzionism.
If the humanoids, from the monkey to the man, have been the symbols of the actual modernity, who will the symbol of the new Revolution be?
