Parasol Elektroniczny Rumors from the Eastern underground

Redazione Digicult
The first episode of the "Parasol Elektroniczny. Rumors from the Eastern underground" series is an exception in two regards. Firstly, as I happened to be on a journey to Tallinn at that time, Felix Kubin conducted the interviews with the artists himself. This task is usually carried out by our umbrella agents. The second unusual feature is its duration. At over 80 minutes, it could almost be considered a double feature. However, television pilot programs are often longer than their follow-ups, and I don't see any reason why this should not apply to audio features too. Also, the Estonian episode is a good introduction to the vibrancy and variety of the Eastern European underground scene.... READ MORE...

Pain Is Not The Game. Virtual And Real In Videogame Art

Mathias Jansson
When the German artists Volker Morawe and Tilman Reiff were young they used to play games that deal with punishment in some ways. The most popular was probably Folter-Mau-Mau Tilma Reiff explains. A simple card game where the looser would be punished according to the cards that remains in his hand. We remembered the special tension that arose from the threat of possible punishment and the excitement that came with it. The relief if you came away unpunished. It simply adds a lot of feelings to the experience.... READ MORE...

The Machine That Makes Art. Form+code In Art, Design And Architecture

Sabina Barcucci
A perfect candidate for this role is FORM + CODE, a book by Casey Reas, Chandler McWilliams and LUST, recently published by Princeton Architectural Press. Contents are clearly expressed through an historical overview on the code development in electronic art, and in some of its conceptual art natural language programming forerunners(based on instructions series set up not for the machines but for the public). The graphic layout is a well-kept and an inseparable part of the publishing project, including a selection of pieces of work and breathtaking images (at a very reasonable price, it must be said)....

The Lost Cemetery Of Images.a Conversation With Carlos Casas

Pia Bolognesi
The use of archive material is a tendency which has established itself in the last few years as a common practice in audiovisual contaminations. It is an ongoing search which paves the road to countless approaches to the work, as well as involving the individuality of the artist in the reprocessing of traces and memories in an imagination which is set on the present. With Cemetery (Archive Works), inaugurated on 28 October and ongoing until 14 January at the Marslleria in Milan, Carlos Casas steps onto this path at its edges, balancing between visual anthropology and rethinking images as a form of trans-cultural memory....

Gob Squad. Neverending Live Cinema

Claudio Musso
On their website, just after the welcome messages, it says: Gob Squad make performances, videos, installations and weird happenings, mixing performance, theater, film and real life. Apart from the huge variety of artistic practices mentioned, the focus rests immediately on the weird. The term, difficult to translate alludes to different meanings such as strange, eccentric or curious. Indeed, after having had the opportunity to take part in a work of the Anglo-German group, it becomes much easier to understand the reason for that adjective.... READ MORE...

Order Number Two. Majakovskij And The Culture Of Machine

Pasquale Napolitano
Vladimir Vladimirovič Majakovskij's works (1893-1930) contain traces of a new aesthetics. In some specific verses of his poems one can individuate the roots of a renewed conception of art and its relation with technique, serial production and reproducibility procedures. These matters have been immediately faced by the rising European and East-European design culture, expressed by heterogeneous experiences ranging from visual art, architecture, graphics, industry, in constant search of a balance between arts and trades, that played a key role in design....
