Amniotic City – Alexandro Ladaga & Silvia Manteiga/ ELASTIC Group of Artistic Research. Amniotic City is a project in progress, an embryo of a virtual meta-city metaphor of the birth of a new mediatic 'civilization'.

DIGITALSNAPSHOT- minute manipulations of space, place and time – Lo Iacono
What does a moment look like? Can snapshots freeze a moment in time?

45Minuets: Dancing the Whitewash Waltz, Lanfranco Aceti. This is a video representing the latest conflict between reality and illusion in the representation of power. It also attempts to decode the structures of mis-representation as a self delusional state instead of an illusionary reality. The whitewash becomes a looped condition, where perhaps the only escape is to switch off the medium.
