No Puns Intended. A Conversation With Filippo Minelli

Silvia Scaravaggi
A first acquaintance of the works of Filippo Minelli leads us - through the images and visions that he is proposing - to the common denominator that brings them either close together or far from each other, though always making them interact with each other: the watershed word / silence, is a mode of examination chosen to explore and create, not to attribute a meaning to existence....

Anything I Love Goes Into My Brain. An Interview With Rafael Rozendaal

Mathias Jansson
In the year 2000, Miltos Manetas published the famous Neen Manifesto in which he describes a new unidentified generation of artists who glorifies computers, artificially simulation and who use the web as their gallery.

Mauro Ceolin: Ethnography Of The Imaginary

Claudio Musso
Mauro Ceolin, present in September and October to Triennale Bovisa in Milan with his exhibition Contemporary Naturalism, VIVENDI - da Lassie ai Pokemon, made of hybridization his trademark. In fact, at the base of his work lies an analytic attitude, reason to study and ultimate goal at the same time. His methods of research lie on the border between a large body of disciplines ranging from sociology to biology, anthropology to chemistry, from science of materials to neuroscience. Before such a wide arsenal of options it would be practically impossible to give some answers to the first question, but the artist's extraordinary coherence of work comes to our aid.... READ MORE...

Parallel Worlds. The Mysterious Doron Golan

Michael Szpakowski
Doron Golan has been making short movies using the QuickTime format for over thirteen years. For most of this period he has been posting his work to the internet. He was a pioneer of net video and his work is profoundly marked by its digital facture and its presence on the net.

Nicola Bozzi
The first time I heard of 23andMe I was reading an article on 'Internazionale', few years ago.

For those who might not know, Wojcicki is Sergei Brin's wife, one of Google's chiefs and one of the main investors of the project.... READ MORE...

Transmediale: thematic call for works

Redazione Digicult
The 2012 edition of transmediale takes place in the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, 31 January – 5 February 2012 exploring the theme of in/compatible. tm.12 postulates that incompatible beings drive the logic of contemporary cultural production. We understand in/compatible beings as aesthetic things and processes that do not necessarily connect on the terms we are used to. The festival wants to raise the question of what happens when such incompatible beings are brought to the fore rather than hidden away in the dark underbelly of digital culture?... READ MORE...
