Beppe Chia and Chialab, 彼普·嘉 / Beppe Chia and Chialab, vision of graphics

当Beppe Chia把研究建立在八十年代中期附近 的时候，他也许没想到，自己研究成果的规模和 重要性会随着时间的推移而被放大，但或许他那 时已经有所察觉了，因为他选择了Chialab这条 标签，他把自己对图像的观点与对合作的理解结 合在一起，在实验室、锻造车间以及分享观点和 主意的地方，以各种方式加以考虑。在古老的博 洛尼亚镇中心附近有一所超出他预想的地板房， 透过一扇玻璃舷窗，这所房子的门总是向外面敞 开着，你会发现自己完全陷入这些环境中，把自 己置身于不同的高度，完全不需要出入口。他们 聚集在一起，共同投身于书籍、研究、设计、讨 论、摄影、烹饪和食物的消耗。这些相同的场所 仅仅是一个人们可以围坐在大桌子周围的地方或 是一个小型的内部花园。我正在描绘一个地方， 原先是一间老厂房，能在这里，在Chialab这个视 觉交流的地方工作，产生出大量的想法，并可以
