100×100=900 (100 videoartists to tell a century)
…
The american videoartist Bill Viola has said that: “The digital era will overwhelm us, as it happened with the industrial revolution. And I am not talking about technological changes, such as the internet, Twitter or in art. The changes will hit all of life: from politics to science, from medicine to culture. Will change our way of life. The role of artists will be even more relevant. Our vision will communicate knowledge and compassion.”

Metamorphose
South Haven Center for the Arts
Metamorphose
We are presently in the midst of an artistic uprising. The Metamorphose exhibition speaks for itself when conveying that the art world is quickly being transformed by a new media generation. The digital world is taking form and moving rapidly by way of computer, television, radio, phone and the Internet. New Media art is a genre that emerged in the 1960s with the development of new technologies, and encompasses artworks created with these technologies including: digital art, computer graphics, computer animation, virtual art, Internet art, interactive art, computer robotics and art as biotechnology.
Artists are reinterpreting, reinventing, and redefining not only what it means, but what it takes to be an artist in this advanced environment. With this unbridled expansion of creative output, many artists have a way of creating art that is effortlessly shared with its audience by digital means. This exhibition is an examination of the strange and eerie most often associated with that of Surrealism and is also apparent throughout New Media art. The work in Metamorphose represents a minute segment of New Media art that emphasizes the human presence either in its whole, or fragmented as a conceptual theme.
Including national and internationally known artists in this exhibition stresses the importance of bringing more acclaimed work to the community for cultural proposes. Sound artists, Ed Osborn and Mark Snyder, accentuate the eerie feelings of Surrealism while giving the audience a more complete sensory experience when viewing the exhibition. Videos by Barbara Agreste exemplify the power of sound with moving picture combined to create a complete conceptual design. Digital collage artists, Matt Manley and Osvaldo Gonzalez, convey a wide array of possibilities mixing traditional media with digital image to produce a truly unique work of art. Interactive sculpture collaborated by David Otis and Ricardo de Sousa Costa allows its audience to physically engage with the piece to demonstrate the significance of human involvement in art, and lastly web art by Ben Benjamin illustrates the complexity and interconnectedness that the internet provides to the art world.
Metamorphoses new media artworks challenge expectations and expand our understanding of art. The eight artists in this installation at the South Haven Center for the Arts are major contributors to this new media generation seeking this change of perception from their viewers.

The third edition of ART SHAKE festival is nomadic, changed and changing being born from the instability of existence. It spreads like a virus, deadly to the lethargy of feelings only, and after its succesful one week event in Rome, takes new life in Berlin. Where in 91 mQ Art Project Space it presents a one day event with videoart, performance and music, conceived as a synergetic exchange between the two cities.
ART SHAKE promotes art charachterized by hybrid languages and multiplicity of media, able to soothe the wounds of reality with wonder.
A fil rouge connects the different arts, all made of the blood of the controversial age we are living in. They metabolize conflicts and uneasiness of our age, skinning it and gutting its socio-cultural superstructures. And then sewing new skins over it, made of imagination.
Today blogs and poetry, comics and art history are all equal sources of inspiration, masters of a language of signs with an highly sensitive power, remedies made of imaginary, for a schizoyd society.

**** PERFORMANCE
Ambra Pittoni, Yusuke Yamasaki, Dance is not for ever:
Dance is not for ever is an Ambra Pittoni’s performance and sound project, interpreted in this occasion by Yusuke Yamasaki, that investigates other linguistic options for the transmission of a dance piece. In order to present the true, undefined sense of the choreography, the dance is presented as a score of breathings. A rhythmic body text that defines itself trough changes and alterations.
SQUARE NOISES, untiteld:
Square Noises is an experimental live set that combines contemporary dance practise and analog sound sources in order to analyse the function of body language within a dimension of improvised music practise.
VIDEOART
Suggestions from the moving images of 15 videoartists.
Barbara Agreste, Reptilica:
My white flesh is their flesh, my hair is a support for leaves, that look like small fragments of me I keep searching for, restless, inside your thoughts, washing them into my unconscious, that gives birth to your best nightmares.
Andreco, Sonata d’organi in fa (Self portrait):
I’d give you every organ of my body, I’m a magician with a special skill, which is much more than cutting women in two parts. Each one of my organs has a life of his own, because I’ve got the alchemical formula with which I really own my body, and I’m getting concentrated on yours now. Music!
Elena Bellantoni, The fugitive:
Red strings, made with my own veins not to get lost in unknown cities, hamper your walk to make you stop right where you ignore me, ’cause you’ re too concentrated on your daily life. Take a break, escape from your prison.
Alessandro Cannistrà, Shameless eyes:
Otherwhise I’ll kill you, slowly, byte after byte. But it won’t be my fault, I love you so much that I want you to be mine, I want you to be really inside me. Inside me in gestation. Bur I hate your shameless eyes, and now I can finally make them wet.
Ericailcane, Ammazzarne uno per educarne 100:
Don’t trust, you can’t be quiet, your house is not your refuge, the monkey beats the steps of you coming, the steps of the moment I’ll make a bonfire with your fears and your little bon-ton certainties. Come with me to discover the magic of numbers, I’ll make you study, or I’ll make necklaces with your eyes.
Azzurra De Gregorio, Virgen:
Be the virgin untouched! Be the virgin pure!
Death to pity! Let’s wash pity into blood, let’s cover pity with white clothes, let’s sacrify love and rip off the heart from the body’s flesh, because you’re not allowed, virgin, to violate it. Nobody can play inside the circle of witches united by the pact of murdering every wish.
Francesca Fini, Latin Lover:
You wanted a girlfriend, there she is. You didn’t want to hear my voice anymore, you wanted to heal your headache, you wanted to scan my female body to understand what I’ve got inside, then look at me now. And be scared now, adore me now, love me now.
Marco Giani, Memory of the world:
While the world is blowing out there, your body is in safety, nothing can hurt you, everything happens far away, everything gets regenerated under your divine eyes.
Luca Manes, 2160°:
And I spin around endless times. I spin around as I was a crazy paper boat in a fountain in the middle of the square of you memories, passing through so fast, and leaving an echo of their voice inside me. And it resounds inside me, while I look at you on the seashore, in summertime. I keep looking, slowly.
Emiliano Monaco, La dolce vita:
My perspectives have changed, I betrayed you. I lie on the sand and you walk by indifferent, throwing the sand of your ligh-heartedness all over me. Just today.
Marco Morandi, Feed me rainbows:
Tomorrow your fawns will swallow diamonds, to make rain with them and dance. Because I’m linving in a surreality where my thoughts are the geometry of your raimbow masks, and butterflies can regenerate us from all atrocities.
Carlo Michele Schirinzi, Notturno Stenopeico:
While how many people run away, toward a somewhere else they dreamed of, drifted by their whishes illegittimately born from desperate and hopeful night encounters. And I peer at you, like a voyeur or just like a guardian of your escape efforts, digging inside your memories, in your adventures.
Cosimo Terlizzi, Beauty:
I looked at you growing, I looked at your beauty ripening in the uncultivated fields in the landscapes of my childhood memories. Where colors were warmer, where every summer permeated the pores of my skin and it never vanished. I still smell it when I meet you.
Virgilio Villoresi, Rotten flowers:
I look at your childood photographs, when you dreamt of being, who knows, maybe just what you are. Offer your memories to me, while you sing, I’ll make a blanket with them, to make dream chocolate flavoured dreams, tonight.

Unbroken beat of soul
International Contemporary Video art
at the third Mediterranean laity festival
15 – 24 ocober 2010- Ex Aurum Pescara – Italy
Since it is granted an essential body centre (the heartbeat) which allows an unconscious, unintentional biological life, can we think of a similar place allowing the existence as human being, as ‘persona’ and identity, as awareness and conscious relationship with the outer world and the others?
The videos suggested lead us towards a different place, where Art goes deep down and into the core of the anthropological question just before becoming ‘communication’, ‘celebration’, ‘marketing’, ‘rhetorical power’, ‘narration’, ‘style’ and so on.
Our choice has fallen upon videos which ask questions, open perspectives but offer no solutions: they leave us alone to rebuild possible interpretations. They take us to the root of ‘laity’, when love, the need for happiness, dread of violence, reciprocity, society, community, neither openly turn into politics, ethics, sociology, religion, ideology, nor coincide with cultural abstractions, languages, analytical processes but remain ‘humanitas’ shared values instead.
