Notte Digitale - Romaeuropa
Highlighting some of the leading developments in the use by artists of digital technologies, Notte Digitale at Romaeuropa brings together breathtaking works that combine video, visual art, music, performance and improvisation. Ryoji Ikeda, Gina Czarnecki, Ulf Langheinrich, Charles Atlas and Fennesz represent different faces of the inventive artistic approaches made possible by the ever-increasing power of digital technologies.
British artist Gina Czarnecki often begins by filming raw footage, and then applying advanced, bespoke editing techniques and effects to individual frames to compose the work, creating a filmic tapestry. These abstract works reflect the artist’s interest in the human body and bio-sciences.
Czarnecki has collaborated with Fennesz, and with Ulf Langheinrich, co-founder with Kurt Hentschläger of the influential duo Granular Synthesis. Langheinrich envelops spectators with his works, at times even overwhelming their senses. Fennesz and New York video artist Charles Atlas present an audiovisual concert that comprises two parallel improvisations.
In datamatics [ver.2.0], Ryoji Ikeda’s acclaimed audiovisual concert, pure data provides a source for sound and visuals. Ikeda’s dynamic, computer-generated imagery progresses through multiple dimensions, accompanied by his meticulous layering of sonic components to produce immense and apparently boundless spaces.
