EL SUC DE MILAN
- prima fiera metropolitana dell'autoproduzione -
REBEL8: la prima fiera metropolitana dell'autoproduzione: una fiera nel senso nobile del termine, arricchita di tanti desideri mai realizzati.
L'idea nasce durante la vicenda degli O-bej O-bej, quando la giunta comunale decide di spostare "la fiera per eccellenza" dei milanesi, un appuntamento annuale che da tempo remoto prende spazio nella storia e nelle strade di questa città.
Di questo appuntamento meneghino ci sono visioni completamente opposte. Da un lato la giunta e una parte della popolazione che propongono un mercato della tipologia standard (tipo quelli che si vedono alle feste di quartiere organizzate dalle associazioni di commercianti,in cui spesso sono oggetti comuni dozzinali a farla da padrona). Dall'altro un nutrito insieme colorato e ciarliero di artigiani, riciclatori, robivecchi, saltimbanchi e pinco palli vari che vedono nei giorni della fiera, un'occasione di incrocio fra creature simili e cittadini festosi e una possibilità di scambiare o vendere le loro amate produzioni.
Un REBELOT come si dice a Milano, che è per noi è il vero 'suc de Milan'.
Di qui l'intento e la voglia di creare un'evento in cui rendere agibili in questa città momenti di partecipazione e incontro altrimenti negati, fornendo spazio alla presentazione e promozione di autoproduzioni.

About the Artists and the works

Karina Aguilera Skvirsky's El Espectáculo is a three-channel video based on celebrity trials and daytime talk shows, An original soundtrack is synchronized with the movements of the mass media characters, suggesting a choreographed dance within the tableau. Karina Aguilera Skvirsky is a photographer and video artist who has exhibited internationally in group and solo shows. She has been an artist in residence at Harvestworks, Smack Mellon, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace and the MacDowell Artist Colony.

Olen Hsu's sculpture and sound installation Drift (II) (2007) charts the prehistory of the digital network, situating itself in the era of the gramophone. Hsu's delicate apparatus emits a sound composition created with numerical oceanographic data of the past two hundred years. Olen Hsu constructs installations in porcelain, paper and algorithmically composed sound, converging new media, tactile forms, and acoustic musical instruments. Hsu holds degrees in music, art history, ceramics, and sculpture from Yale University, the Kansas City Art Institute, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Hisao Ihara's video installation The Collapsing Wall transforms a collection of documentary moving images of war from the beginning of 20th century to the present into a large, evocative, vertical projection space. Originally from Tokyo, Hisao Ihara currently lives in New York City. His work explores the intricate overlay of time and visual perception within immersive video environments. Ihara holds a BFA from the Cornish College of the Arts and an MFA from Alfred University.

Cross Current Resonance Transducer, a sculptural-graphic collaboration between LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) and Douglas Repetto, addresses the processes of interpretation and evaluation inherent in human attempts to understand natural phenomena. LoVid is an interdisciplinary artist duo composed of Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus. Their work includes live video installations, sculptures, digital prints, patchworks, media projects, performances, and video recordings. Douglas Irving Repetto's work includes sculpture, installation, performance, recordings, and software, and has been presented internationally. Douglas is also a teacher and Director of Research at the Columbia University Computer Music Center. He lives in New York City.

Terry Nauheim's Rotating is a multi-channel audio/single channel video installation built from recorded and processed sound fragments of hand-cast record negatives and their corresponding recorded drawings. Terry Nauheim explores sound and visual relationships through digital media, drawing, and installation. She has an MFA from the University of Maryland and a BFA from Washington University. Nauheim currently lives and works in New York, where she teaches computer arts at New York Institute of Technology and New York University.

Rashaad Newsome's The Conductor is a series of single-channel video projections. Rashaad uses processed video juxtaposing imagery associated with popular black youth culture and audio rooted in eurocentrism. A native of New Orleans where he received a BFA from Tulaine University, Rashaad Newsome studied film and video in New York where he currently lives. His work integrates photography, sound, performance, and video to explore and question prevailing media representations of black culture in North America.

Phoenix Perry's Honey is an interactive game exploring issues of survival and the environment. This powerful game demonstrates even the smallest creatures' vital importance to their ecosystem as they struggle to survive in a unique, fantasy-world. Phoenix Perry's creative media include, installation, video, live performance, sculpture, sound, and painting. Her works have been screened at Lincoln Center, NYC, the Santa Fe Art Institute, the Austin Museum of Digital Art, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.

"Harvestworks brings together innovative practitioners from all branches of the digital arts and makes them available to artists, curators, and collectors."

Cultura: la via dalle ICT alle UCT

Martedì 15 maggio ore 17:00 - 19:30
"Cultura: la via dalle ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) alle UCT (Universal Convergence Technologies)"

Incontro con Kim H. Veltman, Direttore Scientifico del VMMI, Virtual Maastricht McLuhan Institute

Negli anni Settanta ed Ottanta, la crescita dei Sistemi Geografici Territoriali (GIS) ha dato un forte contributo allo sviluppo delle ricostruzioni virtuali del mondo fisico. Negli anni Novanta questa tendenza si è estesa alla sfera culturale, partendo dai singoli edifici e monumenti, fino ad arrivare ad interi siti archeologici e città. Parallelalemente ci sono state altre tre linee di sviluppo: la mappatura, il riconoscimento e l'immersione.
La mappatura ora comporta una visione del progetto "Terra digitale", per mezzo del quale il mondo sarà disponibile in un modello in scala 1:1.
Le tecnologie di riconoscimento finora sono state usate più che altro per la sicurezza (terrorismo) e per il controllo (traffico), ma ora cresce l'interesse per la loro applicazione al campo della conoscenza e della cultura.
L'immersione comporta l'uso di sensori ed è parte di un trend più grande verso ciò che ITU ha definito "Internet delle cose".
La crescita dei "Radio Frequency Identification Tags" (tag di identificazione delle frequenze radio) (RFID) implica che questi sensori saranno "immersi" quasi dappertutto.
Nel corso degli anni Novanta la diffusione di Internet è stata vista come una tendenza verso le Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
L'integrazione crescente fra i quattro trend (mappatura, ricostruzione, riconoscimento, ed immersione) significa che ci stiamo invece muovendo verso le UCT (Universal Convergence Technologies).
Nel corso dell'incontro vedremo quali sono le nuove tendenze delle tecnologie digitali, e quali implicazioni avranno sulla cultura.
