Antonello Faretta: Just Say NO to Family Values

Just Say NO to Family Values

Beat poet John Giorno (1936) is passionately reciting his poem Just Say NO To Family Values (1995). With great determination he is trying to persuade the listener to enjoy life to the full of its potential, and not to be satisfied with anything less.
However, his words are wasted on the frail little woman who is absent-mindedly watching this gesticulating poet, this stranger.

Quayola, Autobam: Path to Abstraction

Quayola, Autobam: PTA

PTA is project that explores the relationships between sound and image, inspired by the true representation of sound itself: the waveform. It consists of a continuous visual stream that retains the precise behavior of a waveform, while interpreting the music in a very unique and personal way. PTA combines together two different ways of interpreting the music, the analytical one of computers with the intuitive of human beings.

Alessandro Capozzo: abstract-codex

A. Capozzo: abstract-codex

Abstract-codex is a container of web based computational artworks. Main project focus is exploring and sharing the possibilities of coding as an expressive/emotional medium. In this vision the code has an ambiguous nature: it is both the material which digital works are made of and creative process. So algorithms and programming strategies are at the same time works bricks and micro formal organization. This research try to reach a personal language through an idiomatic use of the medium and a personal conceive of the content.

Rä di Martino: Untitled (Rambo)

The relationship between the film industry and the authorities can be complex, particularly when both parties are of worldwide importance, as with Hollywood and the United States government. In the Western world, in accordance with the ideals of freedom and democracy, this relationship should be an independent one, but in reality it is not, witness the fact that the information service of the American army sponsors films which show the army to its best advantage. And even without financial support, Hollywood is inclined to promote the American way of thinking and to put the 'enemy' in a bad light, as in, for example, the Rambo movies. Rambo is an icon of both the movie phenomenon of 'mega blockbusters' and a typically American kind of heroism. This is why, for 'Untitled (Rambo)', Rä di Martino chose this particular hero for what she wanted to uncover.

Marcello Mercado: The Chemical and Physical Perception, in the Eye of the Cat, in the moment of the cut

M. Mercado: The Chemical and...

I have imagined an accident- a finger-cut, that actually happened to me in 1973, watched by a cat. The parallel pereption of man and animal. I have animated this explosive process of pain transmission, with neurally-inspired models.
Parallel, distributed information processing. 1014 Synapses, 10-6 m, 30W, 100HZ, a wide range of physical and biochemical reactions; the norepinephrine-serotonin system; the calcium-channel blockers; the brain astroglial cells; the feeling and the regulation of the emotions in the brain; the limbic system and ist connections, etc. How we feel and learn? How works this slow hardware? A massive answer, may be. I have used very high sound frequencies in order to put in evidence the voltage-gated channels,and the impulses jumping the gaps-all the bio-electrical process. The trigger animated-patterns.

Stylaria

Mylicon/En: Stylaria

Mylicon/En: Stylaria

Stylaria: 'an extraordinary worm from the limnic benthos and phytal... gently swimming between water plants. It is extraordinary due to its very long flexible thigmic proboscis. Eventually, chains of asexually produced animals can be seen'. Water, liquids, fluidity are the common elements of the Mylicon/En live set. Starting from images taken from one of last Mylicon/En live set, (created using only a straw and a videocamera), we played the game of being in a biological lab looking for Stylaria and other 'freaks of nature' as biologists call the invisible but incredibly wonderful animals living in water. The soundtrack has been created reducing at the minimum the samples and the elements for the composition: only two different short drum samples have been filtered and combined (hit-hat and bass drum); we followed the evolution of images like in a western movie, in the climax of which there is a sort of 'duel'.

Bogart involved in a beckettian shadowing, a strange case...
In this work author deconstructs and re-assembles a sequence of the classical Hollywood cinema (Hawks's The Big Sleep)into an humorous and obsessive repetition.
