Life is made of moments. Short moments. Insta moments.
Everything must be fast, from food to communication.
Communication must be fast, really fast, short, easy.

We chase time. We chase moments. We chase instants.
In 2017 I set up a video chat where I could only interact with printed messages delivered on screen via webcam in an attempt to slow & complicate the whole communication process challenging time, the media, the audience, my nerves, the language.
A "performative" dirty experiment in homeprinting and online communication related to time, engagement, conversation in the times of fast communication made of frequent short texts and visual artifacts such as emoticons and short video, gifs and stickers. Visual art meets words in a dirty new media experiment presented for Source Code #Expo #Finissage @ Galerija Galženica (Croatia) from #Napoli (Italy) via #online wordwide. The complexity and instability of the media interconnected + other critical factors as waiting , editing, typing and printing resulted in a tecno/surreal noisy and broken art act made of chats about sex, porn, politcs, malwares and artificial intelligence, with a touch of humor, and more porn and sex. In this piece the protagonists are the printer and the act of printing that become perfomer and perfomance. The machine is the artist.
In this gallery there is just a selection of prints from the whole performance.
