Underw[h]e(a)re | DIGITAL VIDEO WALL #3
FILTRO is the chosen theme for the 2022 chapter of DIGITAL VIDEO WALL by the curator Gemma Fantacci. FILTRO is a survey in the artistic field of the results of the research of five international artists on the tools offered by the digital instruments, invited to present their own variation of the theme and to animate the METRONOM video wall for one month each. The second video presented by FILTRO is Underw[h]e(a)re (2020) by Luca Miranda.
The artist's research is focused on the relationship between reality and simulation and consequently on historical and political rethoric: the area of interest is video games intended as a critical tool to highlight the internal contradictions and paradoxes of contemporary media culture. Underw[h]e(a)re fits into the artist' practice who, working with machinima and in-game photography, pushes himself towards an experimentation of traditional video techniques. Started as a videogame photography project, Underw[h]e(a)re has subsequently become a video work that reflects on representation's logic and models of virtual economies within videogame imaginary.
With DIGITAL VIDEO WALL Metronom offers a place dedicated to display and present digital art languages, in order to explore the expressive possibilities and relate to the complexity of the context of new technologies.
