Perhaps the best introduction to this project should include an analysis of one of the most important works in art history, Diego Velázquez's Las Meninas, in relation to a contemporary approach to the same concept. Without being able to deny the importance of the technological context of the twenty-first century, I wonder whether the media has desensitized contemporary society from the ability to contemplate and meditate on deciphering classical works, such as Las Meninas, or the visual space in which these classical works existed. The current environment in which we live represents a multitude of visual challenges through the development of technology and the ease with which we are constantly surrounded by visual information. 

The intention of this project would be to provoke ideas about visual communication, space and the conceptual complexity of space. How do we react and are affected by the slightest perception or visually shocking impression? I propose a quick analysis of a current social phenomenon on a visual level through its relational, history or way of identifying with a certain visual space. A space that becomes or does not become a place where we function through certain links that we make visually: visual information in time and space, which expresses a visual space from a certain angle of view. 

I am considering the construction of a space that serves as a reference for all those who have access to identification with a certain image, a reminder versus the banality of a space of our everyday reality, in which we no longer manage to find ourselves. A simple mechanism by which those who recognize it also understand a certain intelligible visual meaning. A place that creates a bond of identification and relationship in time through the memory of the past. 

I think it is quite important to understand how we communicate visually in our current situation, so challenged at this level full of information transmitted more and more through images. Today's man operates in an environment substantially altered visually, from decade to decade. The progress of technology categorically emphasizes our interaction with a visual environment increasingly based on access to information through still or moving images, print, digital or video. The devices we need every day are a digital extension of us and access seems to be as easy as possible to information through image. Understanding content or even concept through images is accentuated and we make decisions through the links we make visually with those images. 

Of course, an image can contain much more information, but the moment we begin to function in such an environment, we communicate and socialize through the same visual language with which we are bombarded every day. A different kind of communication greatly changes the way we understand the image. We measure the importance of the image by the speed with which it shocks us or by the way it succeeds in our visual space. We pay attention and importance to the term "viral".
