Al bar
Una volta il barman era un umano, adesso è un robot di basso livello, probabilmente uno scarto di
produzione non eliminato per rispondenza ai parametri minimi. La conclusione è che prima al di là
del bancone c’era un artista, adesso c’è un deficiente.
Mi domando: visto che la sera riempiamo il locale, cosa ci vengo a fare, anzi perché ci veniamo
ancora? Forse tutti come me: per avere informazioni. Siamo robot di vari livelli ed è da uno dei più
alti che siamo riusciti a sapere, facendolo connettere ad archivi per me impenetrabili, che fine ha
fatto Bruno il barista. Bruno è stato licenziato per due motivi e poi deportato: il primo motivo è
legato a problemi di sicurezza; qui, nella funzione ii barman avrebbe potuto raccogliere
informazioni sensibili per la sicurezza della rete; il secondo è per dare posto al deficiente in base
all’ articolo centoventisette commi quattro e cinque che privilegiano i mal costruiti rispetto agli
umani. La deportazione invece l’ha guadagnata mandando a fare cose oscure un funzionario di
rete che non gli permetteva di spedire una richiesta di revisione del provvedimento di
licenziamento. Veramente tempi oscuri questi per gli umani.
C’è da chiedersi, oltre a parlare poco e ascoltare con attenzione, per quale altro motivo veniamo al
bar? Non certo per quel che beviamo che per noi non ha sapore. Per quanto riguarda il mio
apparato, il liquido viene raccolto in un serbatoio di scarico; soltanto dell’alcol ne faccio un certo
uso: lo prelevo la sera dal serbatoio e ci sgrasso quel po’ di unto e polvere che si insinua nelle
rivettature. Qualche altra volta l’alcol lo riscaldo e ne aspiro i vapori che mi danno un certo piacere
ai circuiti elettrici. Però devo ammettere che questa frequentazione del bar è pura emulazione
degli umani; è un po’ come se li aspettassi tornare coi loro vizi e abitudini.

Stefano Galli, born in 1950 in Falconara Marittima and nurtured amidst the dynamic milieu of Milan, seamlessly intertwines his artistic and scientific pursuits. Refusing to perceive a schism between the foundational principles of industrial and civil design and his lifelong commitment to art, Galli embarked on a journey where creativity and functionality coalesce.

Drawing inspiration from futurism, metaphysics, and surrealism, Galli's paintings bear the unmistakable imprint of these influential artistic movements, all while maintaining a distinct connection to the world of comics. His artistic vision transcends mere visual representation, delving into the realm of narrative composition. Themes, rich with inspiration, serve as the scaffolding upon which he constructs intricate narrative paths, often intertwining stories with images. Renowned art critic Prof. Philippe Daverio characterizes Galli's artistic expression as "meta-real," a playful manipulation of reality that distorts visual perception while affirming a concept of continuity between opposing forces—between the above and the below, the inside and the outside.

The evolution of Galli's painting unfolds as a nuanced exploration of interiors and exteriors in both space and time. His canvases feature perspectives dramatically altered to convey the absence of traditional spatial and temporal constraints, offering a singular tableau where deformation begets multiple viewpoints. In his hands, the canvas becomes a storytelling medium, akin to comic strips, allowing viewers to transcend time with a single glance. Galli emerges as a modern storyteller, utilizing the language of painting to present a dynamic fusion of narratives seen through the lens of art.

Galli's artistic triumphs have found homes in numerous collections across Italy and beyond. His works grace the walls of private collectors in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
