Digitalife Festival Returns to Rome for Eighth Edition
The Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome hosts the eighth edition of the Digitalife Festival, running until January. This event showcases a massive projection by Dumb Type, highlighting their visual-experiential research, alongside Ivana Franke's light-focused creations crafted from artisanal materials. Robert Henke presents "Phosphor," an installation that utilizes ultraviolet light to create dynamic landscapes. The festival also features collaborations between art and science, including Massimo Bergamasco and Stelarc. A circular 3D screen displays "Granular Synthesis" by Kurt Hentschlager and Ulf Langheinrich, enveloping visitors in a melancholic auditory experience. Jean Michel Bruyère's "La dispersion du Fils" examines the contrast between Africa and Europe. Video presentations include works from Fondazione Nomas, Fischli & Weiss, and contributions from the Biennal de l'Image en Mouvement, showcasing artists like Yuri Ancarani and AES+F.
