CAM_ Casoria Contemporary Art Museum is particularly known to the artists and to net-art for having one of the best and richest collections of International digital and multimedia art and to first approach the issue of fruition and keeping of digital artworks.
In particular, Casoria Museum, is always ready to welcome international artistic experimentation. It will present two sections making the program of Sound Glances, “Six seconds around me”, video session, and “Sign the sound”, digital photography dedicated session.
The six seconds of the video session configure as time margin of the images and sounds perception of an inner feeling. Videos show what artists think about the world and about their own being thus springing from it ideal, real, soul and lived landscapes.
The “Sign the sound” session inquires through photography, the relationship between image and sound, between looking and listening into the contemporary. Pictures are the visual trans position of a sound, a noise, of music or of silence.
