Palazzo
delle Esposizioni ROME | ITALY
OCTOBER 07,
2017-JANUARY 07, 2018
The eighth
edition of Digitalife, a section of the festival dedicated to new technology
and digital art, sparks a reflection on the fragility of representations of
reality, which are as deceitful as the virtual illusions that are capable of
deforming it. Within the spaces of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, spectators
will interact with complex audio-visual architectures, surrounded and embraced
by vortexes of light and sound. The tools with which the installations selected
together with Richard Castelli have been created offer artists the opportunity
to expand their expressive horizons and to capture and reproduce the changes
that are taking place in the environment in which we live.
A world
based on images where new technologies are no longer merely a means of
knowledge and interaction, but help to redraw our identity, or rather our
multiple identities, to redefine the concept of time and bounds of our
potential.
Art and
Science. Deprived of its material reality and transformed into bytes, or
rebuilt to be worn as an armour that can overcome the limits and imperfections
of skin, bones and muscles, the human body is a hybrid. Fragmented in numbers
or reshaped in silicon, it coexists and is contaminated by technology, which is
becoming more and more insinuated in our evolutionary process. Science
is behind these changes, and art anticipates them.
