Body, Cyborg, Robot In Lugano. Interaction Between Mechanical & Organic

Primary and basic technology become works of art capable of playing with our passion for machinary and technology, a form of "pain" that we feel with and through our bodies. Simplicity is at the heart of Macchina Inutile (Useless Machine), an almost inconsistent assembly of delicate stems and coloured metal pieces built on to a spinning structure that slowly speeds down...

Corpi, Automi, Robot Tra Arte, Scienza e Tecnologia

Il Museo d'Arte, nell'ambito delle iniziative promosse dal Polo Culturale della Città di Lugano, organizza, in collaborazione con la Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta di Milano e con la partecipazione del Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia "Leonardo da Vinci" di Milano e del Museo Cantonale d'Arte di Lugano la mostra "Corpo, automi, robot. Tra arte, scienza e tecnologia", la quale affronta con un approccio interdisciplinare il rapporto tra il corpo umano e la rappresentazione che di esso è stata data da parte delle arti, della scienza e della tecnologia, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la dinamica dell'imitazione del corpo (con gli automi) e della sua sostituzione (con i robots)....

Soundclusters: Robotic Electronica

Soundclusters is 'an ensemble of four robots (violin, viola, cello and percussion) created by the multidisciplinary artist Roland Olbeter, that you 'play' through a midi controller. Through a commission by the festival Faster than Sound (UK) and Sonar (ES), the two 'sonic adventurers' Tim Exile (Warp) and Jon Hopkins (Domino) have collaborated with Olbeter (already active in the past as a set designer for some works of interactive theater for an important performance by Marcel Antúnez Roca, including aphasia from which the instrumentation of Soundclaster was created). Together the group have made a new work for this mechanical band, creating the conditions for a unique experience of co-operation between live music, man and machine, and for an exciting spectacle...

We Are Not Alone – Part 2

Having achieved presence, the research systematically proceeded through the study of identity, following two directions: on one side the inversion of the strategy designed for 'Talker' and 'Talker Performance' and, on the other side, the creation of a totally virtual identity. Ex-novo. 'Dead on SecondLife' inverts the process created for 'Talker Performance'. The direction changes: body shifts towards virtual.... READ MORE...

The Super Avatars

L'idea del SuperAvatar nasce nel 2007. È un progetto d'opera che, da tempo, coltivavo nella mente parallelamente all'analisi di questioni teoriche poi confluite nella teoria dell'Intelligenza Polimorfa e nella teoria del Big Sieve e che, naturalmente, nel materializzarsi ha assunto connotati nuovi, anche grazie all'intensa cooperazione con due insostituibili coautori: Mr.B.D. ed Andrea Gabriele. Ovviamente, ci rende ancor pi intricata la gi difficile impresa di definirne e tracciarne i contorni .... READ MORE...

The Darwinian Composer

As my activity in the theoretical and academic field often involved introductions to Polymorphic Intelligence, I have been developing a series of paradigms and examples to help the reader or the listener understand (if not feel) the deep link between psyche and the cognitive styles of individuals on one side and the simple/advanced technological functions of modern computer science on the other. Among the many models one of the most popular - probably because it manages to approach the different kinds of sensitiveness among the audience - is what I call the Darwinian Composer....

Polymorphic Intelligence: Part 2

As far as we know, the human being is the most 'intelligent' organism. Their brain includes a number of fuctions so complex and sophisticated that, when the neurologist and psychologist Howard Gardner in his Frames of Mind tries to recap its structure, he comes up with seven sub-structures: Linguistic Intelligence, Logic-Mathematical Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Intrapersonal Intelligence....
