PERFORMANCE

Lunatici House Guest

Saturday, 21th May, 9:00 pm, 2016

Osservatorio Astronomico Luserna S.Giovanni – Turin

Alessandro Sciaraffa invites the artistic director of the Share Festival, Bruce Sterling, as science fiction writer and new media theorist, to write a motto, a short tale to reflect on the moon using the tools that Sciaraffa uses in his work, as testimony to an alternative form of autopoietic communication. An Earth-Moon- Earth radio transmission will enable the voices of the audience to be reflected off the moon and their echo to be heard.

The performance will also involve the artists showcased at the XI Share Festival at the Val Pellice Astronomical Observatory in Luserna San Giovanni, where the performance will unfold as a happening and encounter for new ideas and collaboration to form.

Born in 1976 in Turin, where he lives and works today. His artistic work focuses on experiments in sound and music, with an emphasis on performance and sculptural installation. His synaesthetic works revolve around the participation of the audience in autopoietic processes.
