I have wanted to capture a special moment in this video with my Galaxy Tab, a particular place in Rome, the Plaza, that has been connected historically to music and movies. The sounds that I captured live with the recording of the place, they evoked to me a sense of vertigo. We can distinguish two distinct channels: ones that took place on set, such as classical music and scena’s noises, and then those products from my breath and Tab that was filming.
I kept all the noise even the sound of my phone in order to keep more narrative sense.
I consider sounds and music of great importance in the audiovisual narration: without them the art would be without a particular intonation. Music and sound reinforce the narrative meaning or they move it on another meaning.
I’m a music addicted of all kinds and in particular I love the classical music.
I consider the music very importante in my art.

I very much enjoyed the interview with Barbara London of Randall Packer on the video art, with the deepening of the most important video artists like Nam June Paike, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and the influence that the video art has had on the media arts.
The video art phenomenon, multi-faceted and difficult to define, it’s to be regarded as a constitution of a “cultural background” exploded in United States and then quickly spread to several Countries. In particular New York has received the most diverse artistic trends, developing all areas: painting, music, theater and movie. The reason for this unprecedented development is the emigration of many artists and cultural figures from all the world such as Jean Cocteau, Gertrude Stein, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp which with the ready-made has introduced the concept of “randomness”.
The video art story has incorporat the entire history of modern art in its technology: Pointillism, Futurism, Dadaism, Body-art, Conceptual, Experimental Cinema, etc..
The normal linear narration, with the electronic art, is replaced from a dynamic and multi-faceted reality. We can identify in video art: the dynamic synthesis of the Futurism’s languages; the casual combination, playful and spontaneous, like the Dadaism and the Surrealism’s free associations created from the unconscious.
The image temporal dimension with video art runs parallel to life, this aspect is already known to television that with it is born the real time.
Emblematically, the video art testifies the passing of the baton from a natural vision to a totally virtual one. The video art shows the correspondences between the different sensorial perceptions and the most diverse artistic languages.
The synaesthetic vision is the synthesis of sensorial perceptions which has a total simultaneity, this aspect was introduced for the first time in Correspondences, the Baudelaire’s verses. Correspondences is taken from The Flowers of Evil’s poetry by Charles Baudelaire.
Baudelaire has inscribed in the essay his own poem, “Correspondences,” as a translation of Wagner’s music.
We are not living today in a synaesthesia between real and virtual?
“(…) As the lights go down (Richard Wagner’s invention), and the screen stretches wide across the stage, a world is unveiled, where we lose ourselves in a fabricated world in which reality disappears: we have entered a new reality (or post reality) as in a deep sleep full of vivid dreams, where we encounter the in-betweenness. Although we may remain physically in our seat, our awareness embeds itself into the space of the imaginary.” Randal Packer

“What is collective intelligence? It is a form of universally distributed intelligence, constantly enhanced, coordinated in real time, and resulting in the effective mobilization of skills… My initial premise is based on the notion of a universally distributed intelligence. No one knows everything, everyone knows something, all knowledge resides in humanity… New communications systems should provide members of a community with the means to coordinate their interactions within the same virtual universe of knowledge. This is not simply a matter of modeling the conventional physical environment, but of of enabling members of delocalized communities to interact within a mobile landscape of signification… Before we can mobilize skills, we have to identify them. And to do so, we have to recognize them in all their diversity…” Pierre Levy
“This interweaving of personal sharing, storytelling, and memories, constitutes (in my opinion) an idea akin to performance and the Happening.” Randall Packer
“For the video artist Wolf Vostell the Television medium becomes the ready-made for excellence. In his installations, the monitors are placed between industrial waste and they become totemic objects of a social and historical condition chilling: as in Endogenous Depression (1975) with various televisions and radios encased in cement and turkeys left to wander around the exhibition.” Gabriella Parisi
![Italy’s “Forconi” movement - The Forconi (“Pitchfork”) movement has been making headlines in Italy for the past two weeks. On Monday, December 9, the movement called for action across the country, in the course of which town halls were surrounded, roadways blocked and train stations occupied in Milan, Turin, Venice, Bari and in Palermo in southern Italy. There were repeated clashes with police. The protests were directed against the government led by Enrico Letta and its austerity policies, corrupt politicians, the finance ministry, rising fuel prices, the banks, the euro and the European Union (EU). They generally took place with a sea of red, white and green flags and the singing of the national anthem. The main slogan, aimed at politicians, was “Sack all of them!”](https://gabryparisi.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/forconi_italy.jpg?w=627&h=417)

I think collaboration is a form participation that enriches every field: from education to work. Collaboration is an important aspect of my art, I founded a research Lab focused on interactivity and the sharing of knowledge is very valuable together to all my co-workers with different cultural backgrounds, in fact, everyone brings a decisive contribution to development of projects with the personal problem solving.
Indeed, I firmly believe that our future is entrusted to sharing of the knowledge and of all forms of collaborative participation, skills that come into play in our field as actors for the change.
