FIVAC – Festival Internacional de Videoarte de Camagüey, CUBA
El Festival Internacional de Videoarte de Camagüey (FIVAC), por su concepción originaria, es algo más que una fiesta de imagen y sonido; es un espacio abierto desde las artes visuales a todas las manifestaciones artísticas, a jóvenes y consagrados, a espectadores especializados y al público en general. La estructura de programación contempla exhibiciones competitivas en espacios urbanos y galerísticos, la presentación -fuera de concurso- de proyectos curatoriales y muestras de otros festivales nacionales e internacionales (La Próxima Resistencia), así como la realización de sesiones de trabajo para la realización de debates teóricos, talleres de creación y encuentros entre creadores.

Video art allows the viewer to immerse themselves in a powerful union with the artistic experience, looking with new eyes a space that is routinely ignored in its potential.

Video presented:
Rides di Flavio Scutti (Italia, 2016, 5’26”)
The distant memories, as in a dream, reveal something about the future through a layering of distorted images.
Weltanschauung – Il mondo come volontà di rappresentazione, di Matteo Pasin (Ita, 2016, 5’50”)
With a feature of Google Earth you can view, chronologically stratified, all images stored since 2001.
010, di Riccardo Muroni (Italia, 2015,11’11”)
A place without time or space where it is subverted the anthropocentric conception of man, assuming the existence of parallel worlds and universes.
Dreammachine, di Alessandra Caccia (Italia, 2015, 5’16”)
As in a trance, the diagnostic test to which the artist submits becomes an experience of abandonment, dream.
Pic nic, di Barbara Brugola & Trond Arne Vangen (Italia, 2015, 8’00”)
The mise en scene of this “breakfast on the grass” is not at all reassuring, and the bucolic atmosphere suddenly stops …
Slow, di Enzo Cillo (Italia, 2015, 6’33”)
A night-time conversation between a traffic signal, the barking of a dog in the distance, the flashing light of a street lamp, the wind in the leaves.

“Human thought closely linked to the vision has the possibility to investigate now unexplored spaces and digital broadcasting is the most ‘interesting scenario in which to dive.
The audiovisual becomes for the artist an investigative tool to see what’s inside the software, to look closely into his autogenerativa running, fascinate with unreal views. The possibilities of reflection does not end just aesthetic impact, but these new technological scenarios open to countless philosophical digressions on the same media, about our relationship with technology, the layering of images, on the simultaneity of information and ethics; as well as investigate even the most ‘controversial aspects of technological evolution in relationship with living the “real.”
The flight of fancy started by metaphysical layers of technology, slowly descends towards the materiality where it first appears the human figure as a synthetic simulacrum, then as a map of your physiological systems and then show in the flesh, however, it is seen as a fundamental particle or atom of a system piu ‘wide.
This artistic and aesthetic journey into the latest audiovisual trends ends and begins again from the man and from the eye, now aware of being part of a universe much more ‘vast and rich in information. The initial visual shock in relation to the advent of new media has now passed, and now we can enjoy the view, and if we want, even touch it. “
