For the very first time in Turin, with the Bergamo's Traffic Gallery's collaboration, a big event with the projection of some Lorenzo Oggiano's works.
Since the early nineties, Lorenzo Oggiano has kept an artistic and theoretical research on biological, sensorial and cognitive mutations induced by new technologies and on new media aesthetic and communicative capabilities, obtaining the Italian and international art criticism praise.
The works that will be presented belong to the video-photographic cycle "Almost-Objects" – wholly produced in 3d based on the relations between nature and artificial – and to the series "Sound Generated Video Modules for Single Channel Output", a work in progress made by audiovideo modules created by the sound.
In Almost-Objects the mutation theme is faced by the artist through the synestetic use of the video: we'll see embryonic bodies, neutral surface primordial forms that with their slow but unappeasable movement will dip the observer into a wrapping vision, as if we'll assist every time to a new life birth, to the birth of life, the first one in that was born in the space.
Oggiano, with his out of the common media-technical ability, creates different visions that symbolizes the Birth of the Nature, using software instruments, considered as symbolic tools for the Trick So Oggiano's visual research arises from the old relation between Nature and Technique: however it comes to an abrupt and original, as unusual solution. |

A great multimedia show, concert – stage show, a mix of electronic music, videoart an eccentric performances.
 The starting point are 21 80's Italian songs, electronically rearranged by ConiglioViola & The Violet Zoo and by the Donatello's live performance. ConiglioViola signs the video of each song – a work between videoclip and videoart – that, during the concert, becomes the background for the performance, creating a non-stop scenography that changes every time. The costumes – housework clothing revisited in an artistic way – create a new and unusual atmosphere.
The whole show takes place in an enormous inflatable television, from which the characters go in and go out, mixing real and visual, flesh and projection.
 
Find Back Your Square Roots is a performance that involves each sense, wrapping the spectators in a very different worlds and situations, criticizing with metaphorical sense, the contemporary visual culture, too much frequently expressed as a copy of the reality. |
