#DiarioItaliano: NICOLÒ SGRINZATTO’s poetics and artworks

Our journey around the studio of contemporary Italian artists continues. In a series of interviews conducted in early 2021 in artists’ ateliers, they tell us about what the pandemic period brought them and to their artistic practice.

He builds unruly machines and objects able of opening or extending the responsiveness to a system, investigating matter and sound.

«I am almost rapaciously attracted by the compulsive reproduction of sparse and concise structures, forms and actions. Replicate and spin until they become spasmodic, crooked, asymmetrical, nauseating, disturbed, floundering. I have a particular passion for the provincial environment and the typical adolescent life in this context. Currently my research is focused on repetition and performance, I am trying to catalyze and energize new formal hypotheses».

[The quote is taken from an interview by Federica Fiumelli for Wall Street International Magazine]

Follow us to find out in the next post what he told us about his current and future production, starting from the pandemic period.

#DiarioItaliano: LUCA TREVISANI’s studio

Our journey around the studio of contemporary Italian artists continues. In a series of interviews conducted in early 2021 in artists’ ateliers, they tell us about what the pandemic period brought them and to their artistic practice.

Here we are, mapping the studio of the Italian artist Luca Trevisani, with some exclusive views, not only of the atelier, but also of his desk and shelf.

«To understand who we are we must understand the matter that determines us, as well as the stories we tell ourselves. Working with art is a privilege, because it allows you to have a ground in which to share with others things that you would not be able to touch on your own, in a community made up of our ancestors but also of those who will come in a very long time, in a place that we cannot yet imagine».

«With the lockdown [the constant pressure for immediate success] has jumped, has been suspended, and the need to express oneself, which is very different from communicating, has emancipated itself from the public, returning to discover itself as nourishment, even intimate».

Which is the second Giardina Papa’s video series

Which is the second Giardina Papa’s video series on display in our Digital Kunsthalle?

Giardina Papa’s video works reflect on the pervasive relationship through which the digital world has arrived today to include areas as intimate as emotional relationships or the offline time spent sleeping.

“Labor of Sleep, Have you been able to change your habits??” (2017) is the second video series exhibited in our Digital Kunsthalle for the following 3 months, on the homepage of our website.

It consists of a series of short videos, commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, initially conceived to be screened on their website's homepage at dawn and dusk. With this series, Giardina Papa reflects on the condition of sleep, which is increasingly threatened by ever more extended and frayed work rhythms, such as smart working or freelancing, or in general with precarious employment, but also by the pervasiveness of social networks, with their incitement to presenteeism and the so-called "FOMO", fear of missing out.

The videos make fun of self-improvement apps, highlighting how sleep and rest time has become the new frontier from which to extract biometric and behavioural data. Some apps, with the intention of optimizing sleeping patterns, turn sleep time into data, transforming sleep from the last frontier of resistance to productivity - the last refusal to work - into a time frame from which digital capitalism can extract data and value.

In this way, digital devices function as both a poison and its remedy, providing relief for the time they take away.

The daily exercises and assessments suggested by "Labor of Sleep, Have you been able to change your habits??" rely on a range of motifs that reveal the absurdities of technologically supported self-optimization. The video clips illustrate how we use technologies to regulate human sleeping habits within the rhythms of a wider system—one that includes humans and non-humans, extending from organic matter to digital devices themselves.

Which is the first Giardina Papa’s video series

Which is the first Giardina Papa’s video series on display in our Digital Kunsthalle?

"Technologies of Care" (2016) is one of Elisa Giardina Papa's two video series exhibited in our Digital Kunsthalle for the following 3 months, on the homepage of our website.

Her video works reflect on the pervasive relationship through which the digital world has arrived today to include areas as intimate as emotional relationships or the offline time spent sleeping.

In the series of video Technologies of Care (2016), Giardina Papa documents new ways in which service and affective labor are being outsourced via internet platforms, exploring topics such as empathy, precarity, and immaterial labor.

The video visualizes the invisible workforce of online caregivers. The workers interviewed in "Technologies of Care" include an ASMR artist, an online dating coach, a fetish video performer and fairytale author, a social media fan-for-hire, a nail wrap designer, and a customer service operator. Based in Brazil, Greece, the Philippines, Venezuela, and the United States, they all work as anonymous freelancers, linked through third-party companies to customers all over the world.

Through a variety of websites and apps, they provide clients with customized goods and experiences, er0tic st1mulation, companionship, and emotional support. The stories collected in Technologies of Care also include those of non-human caregivers as well: one of its seven episodes, "Worker 7 - Bot? Virtual Boyfriend/Girlfriend", documents the artist's three-month-long "relationship" with an interactive chatbot.

A new artist in our Digital Kunsthalle! From toda

A new artist in our Digital Kunsthalle!

From today, 2 new series of digital works made by a new contemporary artist will be exhibited in our Digital Kunsthalle, on the homepage of our website: Elisa Giardina Papa.

Elisa Giardina Papa is an Italian artist whose work investigates gender, sexuality, and labor in relation to neoliberal capitalism and the borders of the Global South. Her most recent body of work documents how past and present forms of capitalism have progressively extracted all capacities for labor and living—including sleep, affect, and emotions—and instead draws attention to everything in our lives, embodiments, and desires that remains radically unruly, untranslatable, and un-computable.

Her work has been exhibited and screened at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA’s Modern Mondays), the Whitney Museum (Sunrise/Sunset Commission), Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018, XVI Quadriennale di Roma, Rhizome (Download Commission), Flaherty NYC, Haus für elektronische Künste Basel, and ICA Milano, among others. She has given lectures at the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women (Brown University), the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies (McGill University), the Global Emergent Media Lab (Concordia University), and the Center for Digital Cultures (Leuphana University of Lüneburg), among others.

Giardina Papa received an MFA from RISD, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in film, media, and gender studies at the University of California Berkeley. She lives and works in New York and Sant’Ignazio, Sicily. Giardina Papa is also a founding member of the artist collective Radha May.
