The movement formed in the first week of May 2008, due to Giorgio’s initiation. For the first couple of months, the founders exchanged ideas, invited artists, and wrote the first articles. Meanwhile the movement steadily expanded, from August also with senior members, which convinced Giorgio to continue organizing the movement with ever-increasing enthusiasm. The movement currently has over a hundred members, some of whom are featured. Learn more »

His primary goal has been to increase cohesion through movement projects and exhibitions, with a long-term goal of establishing a self-sustaining open art movement. He has been building a multispan bridge between various styles of art, inviting members from all over the globe. Most importantly, he wishes to create a firm intellectual foundation for the movement.
