Corpo Elettronico: Paolo Rosa (Studio Azzurro) - Frammenti della battaglia

TOTALE DELLA BATTAGLIA

TAVOLI (perchè queste mani mi toccano?)

Andy Warhol eating a hamburger

Is it possible to consider the strength of an instrument in relationship to its flexibility?
Seen from this point of view the modern video cameras lead parallel lives. Whether it's day or night, the "memory" challenges the possibility of what each one can do.
I mean to say that from the fragments that the "ancient" super 8 could give us we have come to the present where not even the stand by is indispensable.

Is everything therefore indispensable?
What moves the necessity?
The artist, whether video artist or other, is at the service of what neccessity?


E’ possibile considerare “la potenza” di uno strumento in relazione alla sua flessibilità?Le moderne videocamere da questo punto di vista possono tracciare vite parallele. Che sia giorno o notte, la “memoria” sfida la possibilità del fare di ognuno. Intendo dire che dai frammenti resi possibili dagli “antichissimi” super 8 si è passati ad un tempo presente dove nemmeno lo stand-by è indispensabile.
Risulta tutto, quindi, indispensabile? Cosa muove la necessità?L’artista, che sia video artista o altro, è a servizio di quale indispensabilità?

Mehal's Answer to Question of Choice

Question: Ryan Spector: Moving Pictures: How does video differ from film and television?

Answer: Video directly differs from its relatives Film and Television due to one essential aspect that it directly transfers the audio-visual material into analogue or digital code. This results in recording and storage take place synchronously. Unlike the other, Video dissociates itself in a further technical step from directly illustrating reality.
