23rd Annual Sound Travels Festival of Sound Art

NAISA introduces its new programming theme Digital in Nature, which is prompted by a reflection on the pervasive presence of digital technology in public life that plays out in parallel to a compulsion to leave the technology of the city behind and disappear up north to be closer to the natural world. The works curated for this year's Sound Travels Festival slide in and out of different points of tension in their relation to digital technology and nature.... READ MORE...

La fabbrica è esplosa: evviva la fabbrica. Intervista con Fabrizio Bellomo

Mario Margani

Fabrizio Bellomo porta avanti da alcuni anni la ricerca sulle interconnessioni tra strumenti, rappresentazioni e retoriche del lavoro. Con FILM, presentato nel 2020 con il debutto a novembre al Torino Film Festival (che si è svolto interamente online) nella sezione ITALIANA.DOC, affronta la rielaborazione di proprie esperienze e ricerche sviluppate tra l’Italia, la Serbia, l’Albania e la Germania, paesi nei quali Bellomo ha prodotto interventi e realizzato mostre negli ultimi anni. Il cortocircuito, illuminate e talvolta ironico, tra vecchi e nuovi paradigmi visivi e sociali nella relazione tra essere umano e macchina mette in risalto il continuo ritorno e rinnovamento di dinamiche di smaterializzazione del lavoro, managerializzazione dell’esistenza umana, appiattimento, omogeneizzazione culturale e (auto)sfruttamento....

Germ Gem: Lucie Ketelsen speaks about bacterial iridescence

Bacterial iridescence is an elusive, extra-ordinary phenomenon with something vital to show us in these precarious times. A unique natural occurrence in which self organization within bacterial colonies results in the creation of living photonic crystals, bacterial iridescence relies on a coming together, an organised signal arising out of the noise of disarray, visible as the bending of light. This phenomenon demonstrates that a microscopic, reductive view alone cannot account for what a bigger picture and a change of perspective affords us. Seeking to span diverse perspectives, scales and media by working directly with bacterial iridescence, this research project asks — how can we design with biological life?... READ MORE...
