Windows into the Virtual and Augmented Reality

WINDOWS INTO THE VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Call for Exhibition│Accepted media: Photography, Digital Visual Design

Group Exhibition in Rome or Milan city. February 2021

-

Since the Renaissance period the concept of frame itself has been a reference to the idea of a window that opens to external worlds, to others, and to what is beyond reality. With the invention of the photographic medium, and cinematography later, the first virtual reality constructions come to be. These are capable of involving the recipient / spectator in a more participatory way thanks to an aesthetic and narrative arrangement that favors a direct, and at the same time illusory, experience of a specular real world.

POST-INDUSTRIALISM

POST-INDUSTRIALISM
Call for Exhibition
Accepted media: Photography, Digital Visual Design
Group Exhibition in Rome or Milan city. January 2021

Currently, we are living in a post-industrial society, which is, by definition, "a society marked by a transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy". So what happened to the urban/suburban factories populating the industrial landscape?
The main focus, here, is centred on pictures showing the decadence of industrial buildings as well as renewed factories, currently fulfilling a different function (museum, art gallery, shop...).

The Performer

THE PERFORMER Call for Exhibition

In the next exhibition the figure of the performer will be our gaze's protagonist .

The gathered works will once again make explicit the role of the photographic medium, already highlighted with the experiences of the performing arts since the 1960s, in the process of creation and diffusion, as well as documentation, analysis and interpretation of the performative act.

The key element is the "gesture", as in any type of performative performance: artistic, theatrical, choreographic, musical, etc., understood as a set of signs of a corporeal and primitive language, as cultural codes that concern behavior, through which the performer seeks contact, involvement and often active participation.

Silent Cities

SILENT CITIES Call for Exhibition

Accepted media: Photography, Digital Graphic, Digital Visual Design

Group Exhibition in Rome city. September 2020

The spaces that will characterize the next exhibition will be those of urban contexts, where silence will become a reason for an experience, in which the absence of movement and visual effects that refer to acoustic production, recreates a condition of metaphysical standstill, of reflection on the environments of the present in dialogue with the past, on social spaces, on interactions, on man's behavior in relation to the environment in which he lives and on the traces of his existence.
