dAtA
a serie of live audio-visual performances
[ italian text sciajno_audiovisuals_ita.pdf
]
dAtA is the title of my new series of audiovisual performances.
The videos of the dAtA serie are not derived from a standard 'post-production'
tecnique.
Sequences, edits, superimpositions, keyings and video processings
are in fact real time generated by myself during live performances.
My roots are in music and sound production therefore it is essential
for me to eliminate the distance between the creative idea and its
activation and to bring this process on stage as part of the performance.
This new serie is therefore an evolution of my research in the field
of sound and image elaboration and within my personal synchronization
computerized system: sounds and music produced in the performance
are 'dissected' in several sonic parameters and mapped to visual
parameters in order to have a direct relation between musical gestures
and visual processes. Other thechniques are also adopted in order
to invert this process modifyng or generating sounds through visual
parameters and gestures.
These processes were used for the first time in 2000 for my project
entitled Objectable, then evolved for the series ThisTime_DisPlace,
and today they have been furhter extended and applyed to my dAtA
project.

The title dAtA
comes out from the data and databases treatment techniques which
I transform in social and political metaphor. dAtA
is a 'box' containing a series of audiovisual performances: for
instance in dAtA cOntrOl the letters written by the ill-famed fugitive
Bernardo Provenzano in a mafioso code addressed to his “picciotti”
(fellas) in order to manage the clan businesses, digitalized by
optical scansion become the control datas which will modify the
audio-visual parameters during the performance.
Another example, in dAtA cOmprEssIOn, the false perfection of digital
image widely acclaimed by producers of mobiles, videocameras and
cameras for commercial aim in order to involve inexpert consumers,
is unmasked (actually it is a compression/degradation of reality)
and used as metaphor.
The hypercompressed images are collected through the www and received
as mms or emails on an appropriate site created before the performance.
After being combined together, each one of them becomes a single
pixel composing a more complicated and articulated image, less and
less faithful to reality.

title and its meaning.
