> Artwork by Paolo Cirio and currently shown at DOX Prague, Palazzo del<br>
> Governatore Parma and online on Turbulence.org<br>
> With the participation of Carne Ross, Daniele Archibugi, Douglas<br>
> Rushkoff, Jon Lebkowsky, Ethan Zuckerman, Michel Bauwens, David Moore,<br>
> among others.<br>
> The artwork Global Direct is a visionary political philosophy promoting<br>
> global participatory democracy driven by information technology and the<br>
> failure of current primitive political systems.<br>
> To illustrate the conceptual work the artist has drawn a series of<br>
> fifteen organograms for initiating a program for global participatory<br>
> democracy.<br>
> [2]<a href="http://GlobalDirect.today/program" target="_blank">http://GlobalDirect.today/program</a><br>
> These creative diagrams are informed by research in contemporary and<br>
> emergent forms of democracy which the artist conducted and integrates<br>
> as part of the artwork. Furthermore, the artist promotes Global Direct<br>
> through designing a political poster campaign to popularize its<br>
> visions.<br>
> [3]<a href="http://GlobalDirect.today/campaign" target="_blank">http://GlobalDirect.today/campaign</a><br>
> Akin to a traditional political campaign, posters are disseminated<br>
> throughout public walls in several cities and consistently feature the<br>
> campaignâs political symbol beside each slogan. In the poster, a clear<br>
> sky visually represents a bright future full of new possibilities above<br>
> the clouds.<br>
> Global Direct researches in pursuit of a new advanced version of<br>
> democracy, where everyone can take part in local and global governance,<br>
> justice, and economy. For this new political civilization, Global<br>
> Direct aims to inspire new protocols, procedures, and policies that can<br>
> cope with the social complexity, crises, and speed of contemporary<br>
> life. These issues are addressed in the artistâs theoretical essay.<br>

> [5]<a href="http://GlobalDirect.today/today" target="_blank">http://GlobalDirect.today/today</a><br>
> As part of its documentary component, the artist produced over ten<br>
> video statements by visionaries close to the ideas promoted by Global<br>
> Direct. The collection of short video statements are available on the<br>
> website, offering a compelling overview of the potentials of an ideal<br>
> society.<br>
> [6]<a href="http://GlobalDirect.today/statements" target="_blank">http://GlobalDirect.today/statements</a><br>
> The website also presents the artistâs research into social sciences<br>
> for comparing the political structures of several countries, which are<br>
> presented through many charts that diagram different governmental<br>

> Through this painstaking investigation the artist was able to analyze<br>

> The fifteen diagrams created for the project are presented via large<br>
> prints as an installation for art galleries. Each print indicates a<br>
> single area of governance and social structure.<br>
> [8]<a href="http://paolocirio.net/work/global-direct/#pics" target="_blank">http://paolocirio.net/work/global-direct/#pics</a><br>
