Software Art Space. Software Art ?!?

Marco Mancuso
You can bet on it. As soon as the news gets around through reference mailing-lists, word of mouth, international festivals, interviews by the most acclaimed critic or curator of the moment, infinite will be the praises raised to Software Art Space ( www.softwareartspace.com ), the second operation performed by Steven Sacks, founder of the phantomatic Bitforms gallery: digital in conception, but with a physical (micro) headquarter in New York. In that same city and neighborhood, Chelsea, in which an apparently infinite army of galleries and exhibition spaces devoted to contemporary arts seem to be struggling to be part of the quadrangle between 4th and 5th streets, determining the destinies of the international art market....

Kurt Hentschlager. Feed: Visible Space Collapse

Marco Mancuso
Feed, an audiovisual performance on sensorial, spatialized, electronic experimentation produced by austrin artist Kurt Hentschlager ( for the ones that don't know him, he, together with Ulf Langheinrich, is one of the two souls of Granular Synthesis) is, at this time, a project that is unique in its genre, outside of the aesthetic and technical languages currently spoken in the contemporary world of performances and multimedia installations. There's really nothing to discuss: opinions are in total accordance among audience and critics... READ MORE...

Polverigi, Tra Hollywood E Big Brother

Massimo Schiavoni
Sono tornati in Italia, nelle Marche. Sono loro, come prima pi di prima, irriverenti, inventivi e grotteschi per natura, tecnologici, globali e mediali per antropologia. Il Big Art Group in occasione del trentesimo compleanno del Festival Internazionale Inteatro, alias Inteatrofestival di Polverigi (AN) non potevano non stupirci ancora, presentando in anteprima mondiale l'ultimo lavoro frutto di una residenza creativa nel paese marchigiano durata 65 giorni dove hanno coinvolto l'intera comunitˆ locale....

Sonia Cillari: Body As Interface

If you are close to me , created in 2006, is requested by many. Festivals, digital art and new media exhibitions try to obtain it, though it is not always easy. Sonia Cillari , the author, says this interactive installation/performance is so unique and expensive that its duplication in order to have it in different places at the same time is not advisable l'autrice. A sensitive platform on which the visitors place themselves to become actors, performers and audience of their own actions at the same time. The actions turn into geometric shapes and lines around their bodies and movements and can be seen thanks to the huge projections on the surrounding walls.... READ MORE...

L’indagine Della Global Digital Age

Gigi Ghezzi
Uno dei meriti del lavoro Territory, Authority, Rights di Saskia Sassen  di riuscire a proporre un'analisi dei mutamenti moderni che parte dal periodo medievale per arrivare a quella che definisce la 'global digital age'. In poche parole, la Sassen riprende 'le grandi narrazioni sociologiche' di un tempo. Per fare ci˜ ha utilizzato innanzitutto la storia come fonte di intelligibilitˆ dei cambiamenti sociali, in particolar modo ha tracciato e indagato un campo di analisi ai cui vertici possiamo trovare le categorie politiche di territorio , autoritˆ e diritti ....
