Death 24x, Death And Feticism Of Image

Motor
The link of all the thoughts I would like to give to you is related to the fact that the deconstruction of new media, the non-linearity of digital arts simply are coherent with a perception/concept of our contemporary reality. So, if we want to make an artistic research, if we want to make some experimentation, we must go further, we must think at them as fixed point, even if not sufficient. We must think at them as generative art concepts, as art as deconstruction, art as remix of the post-modern. A work that is interactive to a presence or that answers to the criteria of post modernity is not enough to achieve an artistic value.... READ MORE...

Alvin Lucier, I’m Sitting In A Room

Motor
Nel libro Metapop di Morley la narrazione esplora il vasto spazio-tempo del pop oscillando attorno a due brani, I can get you out of my head di Kylie Minogue e I'm sitting in a room di Alvin Lucier. Per ora vorrei soffermarmi sul brano di Alvin Lucier, che recita testuale: I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of r-r-r-rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity nnnnnot so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to s-s-smooth out any irregularities my speech might have... READ MORE...
