Paolo Beneventi for Amico Libro (book as a friend) 2000

SCENES, MAPS, VOICES, STORIES

With a computer we play together with places and landscapes, as imagines on which we can  operate changing the whole or inserting particulars.

To each class different suggestions are given (imagines, sounds, processing possibilities, and previous classes' work), and all are invited to act directly, think, invent, tell. Interviews are picked as commentaries and explanations of imagines and scenes, so that voices and sounds compose a multimedia “catalogue” of environments and situations, from which a simple CD ROM is made, to be given to participants.

Not only a fantasy work, but also a beginning of reflection about what it means to operate in an environment, respecting it, giving it value or, on the contrary, upsetting it.
