Tafkav And A Flower Called Vanda

Teresa De Feo
Communication between different entities, in an age of deep anthropologic changes, is the topic on which the complex research of TAFKAV , 'The Artist Formerly Kwon As Vanda' , develops. That is a fully Italian installation which brilliantly deals with uncertain and controversial questions that still have to be discussed, thus succeeding in giving a glimpse on digital arts' next future and more....

Andrea Marutti: Italian Experimental Underground

Bertram Niessen
Digimag readers are probably bored by my long prologues on the reasons why I chose to interview someone. I'm unfortunately convinced, and I'm getting more and more into those convictions, that explaining the reasons behind articles is definitely one of the most important part of the article itself. Well, Some weeks ago I was at Torkiera in Milan (for those who missed it, Torkiera is one of the few spaces of the metropolis that is seriously promoting musical experimentation, among all its proposals). I was resonating with Marco Mancuso about potential interviews. Suddenly, I saw the table of Afe Records and I asked myself: Is it possible that we haven't interviewed Andrea Marutti yet, one of the most interesting key character of the experimental underground of the last ten years?. Yep, it is possible. So here I apology and remediate.... READ MORE...

Graffiti Research Lab: Writers As Hackers As Artists

Monica Ponzini
Real and virtual spaces, cities and new media. These are the domains of confrontation of the new semantic clashes, made of massified and pre-digested messages on one hand, and free circulation, manipulation and expression of ideas on the other. The main characters are big companies, buying ads spaces to spark the consumerism at the basis of their economies, versus individuals, sometimes gathered in little independent groups, using new technologies for realising and using expressions means and the net to communicate and join in....

Vinz Beschi: Media Don’t Eat Children

Silvia Scaravaggi
I casually discovered the media, digital, A/V world at school, actually during my first year of university. Before that moment, I didn't even know its meaning. I watched television, I went to cinema, I looked to music videos, I wrote emails, and I listened to music on CDs without an education about that. I never learned to understand the mechanism behind and inside the instruments I used, their history. And I didn't even know anything about their evolutions and implications for the future...

Duprass Duo, New Audiovisual Politics

Domenico Sciajno
I had the chance to know part of the interesting work of the Israeli artists Liora Belford e Ido Govrin on the occasion of the Experimental Intermedia Festival in New York. What aroused my curiosity was their approach which, though experimental in its nature, tends to create more relaxed and less aggressive atmospheres than those of other Israeli artists I knew before....

Lab (au): Meta Design. Liquid Spaces And The Cities Of Tomorrow

Marco Mancuso
There are people living in cities who are careful observers of the slow changes which are taking place around them. Such people are not inclined to complaining about new telecameras controlling the access to the old town centre, about the prevailing traffic and polluted air, or the advertising billboards covering the facades of the old buildings in boulevards....

Sustainable Non-property, The Answer By Estudio Livre

Eleonora Oreggia
One of the innovations brought about by digital world is the reorganization of the process of creation/production according to an open system whose functionality is represented by the free software. The free software is the basis of the first free and widespread non-property net in history. Thanks to the overcoming of the binomial producer/consumer and the transformation of the product into process, an open and interactive relation between developer and user is created, with its potential of infinite new opportunities of production and creation....
