It is a unique collection of \u2018orphan\u2019 film fragments – pieces of film that have survived the passage of time but lack contextual information – recovered and carefully preserved by the archive. These images, ranging from silent film sequences to newsreel clippings, from avant-garde experiments to fragments of commercial films, are reworked through the practice of VJing or Live Visual Mixing, generating new visual narratives between analogue and digital.
\nAccompanying the flow of images is the original soundtrack created by multimedia artist Piero Fragola, made with modular synthesisers and in particular with the innovative ART polyphonic system by Tiptop Audio. The sounds, in constant dialogue with the projections, oscillate between cinematic atmospheres, electro-acoustic textures and pulsating rhythms inspired by electro-wave, amplifying the emotional and immersive impact of the performance.
\nAn audiovisual experiment that transforms the legacy of fragmented cinema into a contemporary work, exploring the contemporary possibilities of found footage<\/em> through hybrid languages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”207555″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”458352″]<\/p>\n
