Claudia D'Alonzo
Between 1972 and 1976, a venue on the ground floor in Via Riccasoli 22, in Firenze, acted as the main setting for one of the key moments that brought about the video art in Italy.

Chromatic futurist music, the abstract animations of people like Ruttman, Eggelin and Fischinger, the many visual music experiments of the beginning of the nineteenth century can be seen as the forerunners of contemporary forms of digital audio-visual interaction....
