Between nature and culture, between the earthly city and utopia, between technique and imagination, cyborgs space defined by metaphors such as 'border', 'journey' or 'nomadism', ie places of continual metamorphosis , diversity of languages and peoples, places of exile._x000D_

The most representative figure of modernity is Moses crossing the desert to escape the past, but not allowed to enter the promised land. Hence his disengagement with reality, his awareness of vulnerability. But his melancholy, being modern and has other contemporary flavors: one that creates a world of artifacts, pictures and stories sometimes utopian, sometimes unbearable.
