Alberto Biasi explains how the Politypes of the mid-1960s came about, how they take on optical-kinetic characteristics and how they manage to fool the human eye through tension movements that generate geometric shapes and figures in space. We then move on to the Assemblages which, as the name suggests, see the juxtaposition of pictorial and framed elements with the typical structure of the Politype, defining a new vision in structural and perceptual terms.
