Andy :
After living in New York and Paris, how has living in Barcelona surprised You?

Sketch from Spain # 46 /2001 -Harald V. Uccello

Harry:
I like it! I find a certain wildness and primitiveness here.
Barcelona is a mediterranean boom town party. The surprise has still
to come. I mean: Paris- the Capital of the 19th century, New York of the
20th and this century many possible centers more (maybe at the same time)
and then Barcelona one of them- why not? A harbor near the mountains- many
languages, Europeans, South Americans, Asians, Africans moving in....let´s
see how the natives handle this international situation, which was
decisive both for Paris and New York's cultural development.

Harry:
You were doing Art (painting, film, poetry ) until You were 30. For
the last 14 years You are doing Science(ecology and teaching ). How are they different ?

Andy :
This is a Question of time and evolution of the language of both Art
and Science. Art represents at least 40,000 seasons of human culture.
Science, in general, is part of this evolution, but the evolution of the
specific languages, for example Chemistry and Physics, has been much
shorter. Who could have imagined ´Hiroshima´ before those languages came to
be? Because Science strives for a universality of understanding without a
cultural bias it demands great discipline and, at it´s best, the expression
of any idea is never personal or individual (everyone knows Einstein, but in
Science everyone IS Einstein!), but just an illumination of a piece of a
piece of the universal mosaic we call consciousness.
