Hello,
I am actually working on the early experiments in multimedia art. I am
focusing on the Italian Futurism acoustic, cinematographic and
mechanical experiments (Russolo, Boccioni, Depero, Marinetti,
Bragaglia) in relation with successive forms (Piscator for example in
theather) and now.
It is a field full of important discoveries. I am working on a
documentary script on the beginning of art of noise and it's connection
with the so called "modernist" movement and to all new media
avant-garde in XX (and XXI) century.
It is a much too underestimated root, with impressive theoretical
results, that re emerges constantly, as a rediscovery, every twenty
years. The Futurist have made the water boil, and we rediscover hot and
warm water every now an then. All without digital or even electric.
If anybody is interested or have worked/is working in the same
direction feel free to get in touch.
