[ITA] Ciò che rimane per sperare in un’evoluzione costruttiva e non distruttiva come talvolta la cronaca ci prospetta, non è che rimanere focalizzati sulle relazioni. Le relazioni umane. La ricerca di una nuova definizione di Umanesimo in ottica di un nuovo Rinascimento.

Polyphibionics: from cyborganic amphibians to polyphibians
Returning to the origins of cyborg, conceived in order to automatize the homeostasis of human species of Earthlings, augmenting the human organism to conquer the knowledge of outer space, outside the safety zone of planet Earth, this paper re-examines the relation between the outward and inward directed explorations by considering how the journeys beyond the offerings of our atmosphere enable expansion of our noosphere.
Politics of the Machines: Art and After
The question of how the machine impacts and contextualizes artistic production and perception is the overall topic of this conference. Recent research on the impact of machines and technology on art places the machine in the centre of ‘ecologies’ (Fuller), ‘archaeologies’ (Parikka) and ‘aesthetics of interaction’ (Kwastek) pointing towards a ‘techno-ontology’ (Broeckmann).
Bill Viola. Rinascimento elettronico a Firenze / Electronic Renaissance in Florence
[ITA] Bill Viola cattura tempi rivelatori di vite segrete, spiriti che si amalgamano con il medium artistico, quasi collabora in maniera intima con lo spettatore. Viola trascende il significato della vita mettendo in scena l'invisibile e il sublime e facendo dialogare il materiale con l'immateriale. Viola crea un'alleanza profonda tra movimento ed assenza di fronte al mondo, come una ricerca dell'individualità che pone il sé in una posizione di consapevolezza.

Strambinaria – Folle di Scienza. Raccontare la scienza
Saranno cinquanta tra giornalisti, scrittori, blogger, progettisti di mostre e laboratori, animatori. Provengono da tutta Italia e hanno una caratteristica in comune: amano la scienza e provano a raccontarla al grande pubblico. Si troveranno a Strambino dal 20 al 22 ottobre prossimi per discutere del loro mestiere e rivelarne i retroscena ai non addetti ai lavori, in una manifestazione dal titolo significativo: “Strambinaria – Folle di scienza”.

L’Ambiente Dentro. Una riflessione epistemologica sul confine / Environment Inside. An Epistemological Reflection on the Border
[ITA] Le nuove suggestioni dalle scienze della complessità erodono un confine ideale e troppo ben definito tra noi e l'ambiente. L'ambiente non è più qualcosa di fisso, "là fuori", ma una produzione delle nostre rappresentazioni individuale e collettive. I nodi epistemologici, ecologici ed economici di questa concezione sono qui identificati.
[ENG] The new suggestions from the sciences of complexity erode an ideal and too well defined boundary between us and the environment. The environment is ...
Note sulla Survey dei 15 anni di attività di Noema / Note on Noema’s 15th Anniversary Survey

Call for Exhibition: States of Matter
The embodiment of artistic intents in the plastic and figurative forms of representation has been a dramatic moment in the human history defined by revolutionary processes to master matter in terms of colors, shapes, materials and techniques. A New Renaissance brought to practitioners, in this contemporary age, by the enormous availabilities of scientific and technological knowledge together with a change of perspective, in which cross-disciplinary discourses are established between specialized ...
Call for Papers: Art and Education
The relationship between art and education has a long history during which it has acquired various forms that, far from following each other in a linear sequence, coexist and hybridize. Thus, we find different currents in education that advocate the inclusion of art in general schooling with the purpose of fostering personal, intellectual, moral, social (and, of course, professional) development. Furthermore, there have also been artistic projects undertaken in cooperation with certain groups, i...
Noema’s n.blog & Subtle Technologies

Around Simulation
So, what is simulation? How does it work? Does it only stick to human representations or visualizations or does it refer to a more general realm? What are the layers (technological, social, imaginative, conventional) that construct simulation? Which conflicts and power relations (in material or technological and sociocultural terms) are involved in their construction? And how do we make sense of them? Can these mechanisms be modified, enhanced, re-elaborated through artistic practice?
BIACS 3 – YOUniverse
Sono andato, qualche giorno prima della chiusura, a vedere la Biennale de Arte Contemporaneo de Sevilla (BIACS 3) (2 Ottobre 2008 - 11 Gennaio 2009), giunta alla terza edizione e intitolata YOUniverse. Il commissario, nonchè direttore artistico, di questa edizione era Peter Weibel, e dunque la cosa mi incuriosiva: perchè mai una biennale d'arte, che normalmente opera sulle forme artistiche della tradizione, aveva scelto, "coraggiosamente", un commissario così "tecnologico"?
Due o tre cose su Nam June Paik
Con Paik l'arte si estende agli strumenti della televisione, del video, rafforza la sua presenza - inaugurata dalla Pop Art e oggi abituale grazie a strumenti come Internet - nell'ambito delle comunicazioni di massa. E va a compimento quel declino della presenza della materia nell'opera d'arte, inaugurato dalla fotografia, che qualche anno più tardi, nel 1973, sarà celebrato dalla critica d'arte Lucy Lippard nel suo celebre The Dematerialization of the Art Object.
Addio a Pierre Restany, lo spirito libero della critica
Restany non si occupava di arte tecnologica ma non era affatto estraneo alle tematiche di Noema. Pi? in generale, pu? essere considerato un esempio nel panorama dell'arte contemporanea. Viaggiatore infaticabile, frequentatore e spesso amico dei pi? grandi artisti e creativi fin dai loro esordi, era una persona lucida e aperta che nei fenomeni culturali, anche i meno appariscenti, sapeva riconoscere gli elementi innovativi, cogliere i risvolti, anticipare le ricadute.
