Note su Eureka di Ernie Gehr di Rinaldo Censi One of the peculiar characters of hyperrealism can be seen in the tension that emerges from the transmission of data belonging to two channels of communication: photography-painting. As Lawrence Alloway stated in a text called “Photo-realism”, the hyperrealist artists paint in fact a double image: «The painting carries a reference to another channel of communication as well as to the depicted scene or object. The reality of photographs, however, is not the reality of slow, hand-done paintings, so that the realism of the subject matter is defi nitely called in doubt. It is as if the subject matter of, say, Eddy’s picture is not a Volkswagen but a photograph of a Volkswagen. The photograph corresponds to the car as we know it, but the painting corresponds as much to the photograph as to the car; it is, perhaps, the photograph that functions as the primary reference». The fact that each fi lm carries the trace of its photographic matrix makes certain hyperrealist traits quite obvious. But is it possible that cinema allows a further hyperrealism, on a second degree? And has all this something to do with postproduction and ready-made? Montare cacca: Intorno al fenomeno “YouTube Poop” di Alberto Brodesco The genre “YouTube Poop” (YTP) collects a rather extensive mass of videos that recycle and elaborate, through peculiar editing techniques, specifi c audiovisual content, generally derived from poor, discredited or “wretched” media texts. The YTP is a particularly interesting phenomenon within the mash-up or remix culture, capable as it is of combining media criticism, subcultural immersion and skills in digital manipulation. On the one hand, the ease of the game is disarming: poopers just download videos from YouTube, re-edit them (even with non-professional software) following what are more or less the rules (or styles) of the genre and ultimately upload them to YouTube. On the other hand, the YTP represents instead a rather complex case, a rare form of cultural production which is not fully integrable or assimilable within the post-cinematic digital spaces – a sort of challenge or revolt launched against YouTube and the surrounding mediasphere. La nuova Digital Guerrilla Television: per una post-produzione militante e d’autore di Elena Marcheschi During the 1960’s, the invention of portable video technology was accepted as the most suitable medium to support the development of a cultural and political counter-information that was embodied by the various movements and protagonists of the so-called Guerrilla Television. With diff erent approaches, today we are still facing a similar trend based on the appropriation and elaboration of contents proposed by the various mass media, in order to highlight the eff ect of media saturation and manipulation we are subjected to. The mixing and revision attitudes of digital technologies are currently helping the artists in productions often based on the dismantlement and re-editing of mass media contents. The aim is that of setting up observation points to create works swinging between questioning and denunciation. The analysis of works by authors such as Jean-Gabriel Périot, Canecavolto, Johan Söderberg and John Callaghan, with diff erent languages and perspectives, let us think of a new Digital Guerrilla Television. Cinergie, il cinema e le altre arti4 Cinergie uscita n°11 giugno 2017 | ISSN 2280-9481 CINERGIE il cinema e le altre arti 11 ABSTRACT Ripetizione e ri-produzione nelle GIF animate di Tommaso Isabella The spread of animated GIFs over the last decade has made them not only one of the most popular digital formats for moving images on the web, but also a signifi cant locus for the remediation of cinematic contents. The paper focuses on GIFs grabbed from fi lms, considering the dialectics between linearity and circularity involved in their creation as well as the pragmatic reformulations entailed by the act of sharing. The peculiarities of the production and distribution of GIFs off er and understanding of their liminal status between appropriation and re-creation, which is exemplifi ed by the analysis of the collecting strategies adopted by two pioneering Tumblr blogs dedicated to cinematic GIFs, Three Frames and If We Don’t Remember Me. L’internet-meme nella galassia della postproduzione contemporanea di Sara Tongiani The internet-memes represent nowadays a new global phenomenon, which increase the ability to produce, copy, and share digital contents, featuring images and textes. Starting from stereotyped models, users create their own internet-memes, in which international, cultural, and sport events, with global or local references, are remixed. This paper focuses on the possibility of these postmodern artifacts to transmit a message to a large web community audience. The message is often a joke, which reveals the functioning of contemporary communication practices. Finally, the analysis of the internet-meme’s production of the Championship Euro 2016 explores the users’ intention to blacken their heros, the soccerplayers. In this case, the joke becames a denigration, a rhetorical and iconic violence, similar to the René Girard’s theories on the scapegoat mechanism. Truccare la storia: la colorizzazione digitale delle foto d’archivio del Colorized History Movement di Elena Gipponi Due to technological constraints and deeply rooted cultural conventions, black and white has long been the stylistic mark of still and moving documentary images, especially of the offi cial ones. This article focuses on a particular act of postproduction which alters the chromatic look of black and white historical photographs: the images retouched by the so-called Colorized History Movement, an online community of professional graphic designers and self-defi ned “amateur historians” who submit to a meticulous digital colorization process black and white photographs coming from diff erent archives— but especially from the Library of Congress. The artifi cial colour, added at a later date for cosmetic eff ect on the originally achromatic surface, becomes here a way to reuse and re-write the visual culture of the XX and XXI centuries. Through the analysis of a corpus of colorized images, the essay reconstructs the production and reception contexts of these images, the purposes that move the authors of this practice and the feedbacks and comments of the users. Cinergie, il cinema e le altre arti5 Cinergie uscita n°11 giugno 2017 | ISSN 2280-9481 CINERGIE il cinema e le altre arti 11 ABSTRACT Immagini fl uttuanti: operazioni estetiche e itinerari nell’immateriale visivo digitale di Serena Magnani The World Wide Web - with its apparently democratization of culture as well as the creative process behind it - has completely changed the way of defi ning the concept of authorship and critical fruition of the Image. The Online Community is simultaneously agent and audience of a growing digital imagery archive which is challenging the artists to fi nd new ways of imposing themselves into the fl ow of images. This essay analyzes some of the most signifi cant artistic elaborations appeared in the last ten years that approach the WWW as a digital “objet trouvé” in the framework of Internet Aware Art, as proposed by the defi nition of Guthrie Lonergan.

  • Visual Experimentation. Art, Aesthetics and Ethnography in (Un)Guided Tour, a Video by Irina Botea, Marco De Luca and Stefan Voicu
    vol. 2, n. 2, December 2013, pp. 76-88 |DOI: 10.12835/ve2013.2-0025 | www.vejournal.org | ISSN 2281-1605 ________________________________________________________________________ Stefan Voicu Anthropologist Visual Experimentation. Art, Aesthetics and Ethnography in (Un)guided Tour, a video by Irina Botea, Marco De Luca and Stefan Voicu Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/PEnXKfoyT_A Abstract The following paper deals with the production of a short ethnographic video on the Royal Museum of Central Africa from Tervuren, Belgium. The scope is to deploy the organization of the ethnographic team that participated in the articulation of the project, unravel the context in which the project emerged and unfolded, as well as engaging with the elaboration of the audio-visual approach taken within the ethnographic research. Focusing particularly on the latter aspect, this paper will portray the relation between art and ethnography as being characterized by experimentations with aesthetics. Taking a look back at certain artistic movements that explored the limits and possibilities of film aesthetics, the entries will pinpoint the relevance of lettrist cinema, institutional critique and structural film to the construction of an ethnographic video on the museum practices of the RMCA. Keywords Aesthetics, Art, Ethnography, Museum Stefan Voicu Stefan Voicu recently graduated a Msc in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Catholic University of Leuven. He is interested in assemblages of art, labor and critique. Currently he is working independently on the possibilities of post-textual ethnographies to weave the practices of art and anthropology.

  • Kyoobur9000 Interview -- How Did You Come to Logo Editing? I Joined Youtube Back in 2010 and I Was Always Fasc
    Kyoobur9000 interview -- How did you come to logo editing? I joined YouTube back in 2010 and I was always fascinated by these videos where people would take their video programs and apply it, plug-in after plug-in after plug-in basically to make it unrecognizable. And that’s initially what I planned on having my channel be but I actually discovered that there were some pretty cool things I could do without, you know, tearing the video apart. So, I just kinda started by trying certain plug-ins or combinations of plug-ins and figured, hey this might sound cool or this might look cool and you know, it just worked out. What was going on at the time when you joined YouTube. You were seeing other production company idents or flips of other sources? What were you seeing and what were your inspirations?.. searching around on YouTube? Yes, there were other YouTube channels that did some work, you know there’s an audio effect called G-Major and um, people would apply that to idents and logos. So that’s what kinda got me attracted to logo editing. And the plug-ins really came from me playing with the video programs I had at my disposal. Even though it wasn’t my initial plan it was mainly that exposure to logos from G-Major that made it the point of my channel. Because you were quite young when you started, right? I was, actually I was just about to start high-school. So how did you come to picking your sources?.

  • Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation
    Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation Wednesday 2nd November 2011 - KUA Auditorium 23.0.49 Michelle Woods: Sense and Censorship: Authors and the Agents of Change In 1969, Milan Kundera sent an angry public denunciation of his English publishers to the Times Literary Supplement, comparing them to the "Moscow censors" who had delayed the publication of his first novel, The Joke, for two years, and who would ban all his work in Czechoslovakia in 1970. Kundera suggested that the substantial cuts to the text, and reworking of the novel's chronology, amounted to a form of market censorship by the editors and publisher. Kundera is well-known for his antipathy to translators, but in fact much of his ire focused on the editing of his translations, performed by people with no knowledge of the language or culture behind his work, and whose bottom line rested on selling a commercially viable product. To what extent can the work of those handling translations - editors, publishers, directors, producers - become a form of censorship? Is is possible, or even helpful, to speak of censorship when looking at the work done to translations, once the actual translation work has been completed? What kind of changes are made to translations before they are published or performed? Is there an ideological context behind those changes even in free and democratic societies? Are form and style a battleground in an increasingly homogenous notion of what good, commercially viable writing is? In this paper, I want to use the examples of two Czech writers: Milan Kundera and Václav Havel, to examine the pressures placed on translators and writers by those other agents (or, as Maria Tymoczko writes, "external constraints").

Non ti poni il problema se il nastro sia noioso o interessante. È rozzo, è ottuso, è implacabile. Don De Lillo, Underworld1 Il genere “YouTube Poop” (YTP) raccoglie sotto il suo nome una massa piuttosto estesa di video i quali riciclano ed elaborano, rimontandoli, specifi ci contenuti della cultura pop, pescati di solito fra prodotti mediali considerati per diversi motivi “di scarto”. La nascita della YTP viene datata al 27 novembre 2006, quando il pooper SuperYoshi carica su YouTube il video “I’D SAY HE’S HOT ON OUR TAIL”2. Si tratta del remixaggio di un episodio della serie animata The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990), fonte che diventerà fra le più popolari.

La facilità del gioco è disarmante: basta scaricare dei video da YouTube, rimontarli (anche con software non professionali) seguendo quelle che sono più o meno delle regole (o uno stile) e ricaricarli su YouTube.

Shakespeare 2021: The Modernity of his Poetry and Prose in our Current Age Collection Editor: Menotti Lerro Description Some authors are definitely immortals. When we think about them, we often suppose that everything has already been said. This is false. Each author needs to be read and discussed again and again in every new historical period. For this reason it is interesting to look at William Shakespeare’s poetry and prose from a modern perspective. In this volume, new scholars demonstrate the importance of re-approaching one of the most influential authors who ever existed, from the point-of-view of bright, contemporary theories. About the Editor Menotti Lerro taught English Literature and English Culture and Civilization at the University of Linguistic Mediation (Unimed) of Milan, Italy, and gave lessons at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, IULM University of Milan and the University of Reading, UK. He received a Master of Arts from the University of Reading in 2007, and a PhD from the University of Salerno, Italy. Author of about 30 volumes of literature, in 2016 he was awarded with a “Special Mention” in the three selected authors for literature for the Italian National Prize “100 Italian excellences”.

  • The Material of Film and the Idea of Cinema: Contrasting Practices in Sixties and Seventies Avant-Garde Film*
    The Material of Film and the Idea of Cinema: Contrasting Practices in Sixties and Seventies Avant-Garde Film* JONATHAN WALLEY I In 1976, the American Federation of Arts organized a major program of American avant-garde films made since the early 1940s. In his introduction to the program’s catalog, Whitney film curator and series organizer John Hanhardt argued that the central preoccupation of filmmakers across the history of avant-garde cinema had been with the exploration of the material properties of the film medium itself: “This cinema subverts cinematic convention by exploring its medium and its properties and materials, and in the process creates its own history separate from that of the classical narrative cinema. It is filmmaking that creates itself out of its own experience.”1 Having traced the history of avant-garde film according to the modernist notion that an art form advances by reflexively scrutinizing the “properties and materials” of its medium, Hanhardt turned his attention to more recent developments. But these new developments were not entirely receptive to his modernist model. On the one hand, he argued, filmmakers were continuing to create works that engaged the physical materials of film—film strip, projector, camera, and screen—and the range of effects these made possible. On the other, this engagement appeared to be leading some filmmakers to create cinematic works challenging the material limits of the film medium as it had been defined for over eighty years. For example, in Anthony McCall’s Line Describing a Cone (1973), the focus of the viewer’s attention was not an image projected onto a screen, but the projector beam itself, which over the course of thirty minutes grew from a thin line of light to a cone—a three-dimensional light sculpture with which the viewer could interact.
