Paolo Cirio (Turin, 1979) delves into how governments, laws, and the economy organize and change our society. The project titled Global Direct started with information gathering on the web, including slogans and programs of political movements. Then, Cirio created complex conceptual maps to develop his investigative novels into reality. The maps are made of black-and-white flux diagrams organized into circular shapes. They are used as devices to visualize the functioning of a civic system, defined by the artist as a form of Evidentiary Realism.
