“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. “
