Walter Ritter Ortíz La ciencia es una empresa eminentemente social y forma parte de la cultura en general, al menos en aquellos aspectos no estrictamente especializados; la ciencia invita a la reflexión a cualquier persona dotada de un mínimo de información y curiosidad y puede llegar a afectar a su sensibilidad y capacidad de asombro, enriqueciendo su vida a veces profundamente. En la ciencia encontramos físicos que sueñan con encontrar una teoría final de la materia y la energía; Astrofísicos tratando de entender cómo y porqué fue creado nuestro universo; Biólogos buscando porqué empezó y fue creada la vida y que leyes gobiernan su consecuente desarrollo; Neurocientíficos buscando los procesos en el cerebro que dan lugar a la consciencia; Investigadores del caos y la complejidad que con la ayuda de computadoras y nuevas matemáticas buscan revitalizar la ciencia.

These mythological masks were made for Professor Laetitia La Follette's spring semester AH500 Greek Art History course in 1995 (grey background), 1996 (white background), and 1997 (black background). They are displayed with the KORE at the top to stress the Greek ideal of balancing human emotions with the life of the mind. The GORGONS, SATYRS, and CYCLOPS are creatures of the imagination, and represent the emotions that strongly affect us, such as fear, lust, and anger. DIONYSOS and the BUTTERFLY are symbols of human transformation into altered states of conciousness, such as passion and death.

Located at Pedro Meyer's former house, in the center of Coyoacan in Mexico City, FPM (Pedro Meyer Foundation) has, as a main mission, contributing to careful consideration, interpretation and research of photographic images inside new technologies' framework. By specific initiatives on areas that contemplate conservation, production, training and divulgation of photographic art -meaning, those art forms related to it which include movie making, video and multimedia disciplines whose central point is photography- we promote professional and cultural enrichment of these art form communities and society's in general.
