Voom, By Robert Wilson:the Surface Of A Myth

Francesco Bertocco
There is a figure which seems to stop the time, move with care along its borders, fly above it, go through it but then sit outside it. It is a man who wears only his slips and stand in front of us, fixing us. Above us the rain begins to fall. The light is steered by a blinding intense blue which looks like a chemical color lent by Klein's imagination or by the fluorescent lamp of a sleazy club.... READ MORE...

Climate Justice Action: Precarious United For Climate Action

Alex Foti
The economic crisis has heavily hit the precariat -- the sum of those working non-standard, temporary, part-time contracts in services and industry -- worse than any other social class. Millions of precarious youth, women, immigrants are being made redundant by the Great Recession. Unemployment has skyrocketed from the US to the EU, from Iceland to Japan. Those responsible for the crisis -- big banks, investment funds, free-market economists and policy-makers -- whitewash and greenwash without shame as if nothing happened and go on with business as usual. Governments are giving trillions to the bankers and peanuts to the permatemps.... READ MORE...

Raul Martinez: The Tenderness Of Metal

Barbara Sansone
Although Digimag deals with digital culture, this month we want to devote a well-deserved space to an artist, whose work does not exactly fall within this category, but it perfectly places itself within that field of research that our magazine carries out in the framework of (applied and reused) technology, mechanics and art. The general trend does no longer lie in the celebration of technology in itself, but aims to grant priority to the concept and the tangibility, also when, in order to obtain them, the artist uses techniques and materials that are not exactly the latest fad....
