VIDEO.GAME: desertion of the city and populating the
web
Many will recall the grandiose prophesies of the early 1980s about the "telematic city" and from then the recurrent rumors, fed by numerous conventions, articles, interviews and so forth regarding the "cabled city" the "telematic city" and related issues. And if you add to that the concept of the computerized home, home-based jobs from which, in combination, said the prophets, would have emerged an abstract city suffused by the glow and hum of personal computers, but devoid of energy, in which the only problem would have been the alienation of citizens separated one from the other by the cold video grids and plasma screens. It is a known fact that today telematics have radically changed many aspects of our lives, especially in regard to computers and the web as exceptional instruments of communication, having altered our sense of time and place in communication, giving way to a newer set of tools as well as new frontiers to explore. The new media and telematics offer the individual new possibilities which integrate traditional methods of mass communication with any standard characteristics of classic interaction. Regarding multimedia, hypertext and especially interactivity associated with these new tools, the topic relating to interaction of man to machine takes on a significant role, necessarily associated with the larger idea of virtual communication, but also to raise the level of relationships and social ties more resistant to the homologous imprint of mass culture. Yet these new technologies can ameliorate the sense of depersonalization because they are deconstructing our ideas of social behaviors. The video, (04.29 min | DVD PAL | published in 5 numbered copies), written and directed by Luca Curci, will be shown in a number of European cities. Music by Stefano Greppi, dj and international producer. After being presented in Spalato, Croatia for the 16th Adria Art Annual from September 9-19, 2003, it will arrive in Madrid at the "Pabellon de Convenciones del Recinto Ferial de Casa e Campo", an artistic facility that every year hosts the international art fair FAIM, from October 16-19, 2003.
