Generation Flash
The phenomenon of Flash graphics on the Web [...] attracted a lot of creative energy in the last few years. More than just a result of a particular software/hardware situation [...], Flash aesthetics exemplifies cultural sensibility of a new generation [who] does not care if their work is called art or design. This generation is no longer is interested in "media critique" which preoccupied media artists of the last two decades; instead it is engaged in software critique. This generation writes i...
Teatro e multimedia

[...] At this point in time, what is needed is a comprehensive precautionary approach to the use of cell phone technologies. This doesn...

To understand the socio-political implications of experimental strolls in the city, it is important to know how the public-domains functions as the place where individuals meet, so forming communities form & as a consequence society on the most fundamental level emerges out of the interaction of/between/inside crowds. This public domain is not an autonomous field, but the result of the interplay between public-space & urbanism: the dialectic between the physic objects in a city & the...
