Marcantonio Lunardi's 'Industrial' at Centro Culturale Luigi Russo

Marcantonio Lunardi (born 1968 in Lucca) presents 'Industrial' at the Centro Culturale Luigi Russo in Pietrasanta, curated by Maurizio Marco Tozzi. The exhibition runs until April 17, 2016, and features Lunardi's ongoing research at the intersection of political engagement and new technologies. He uses Google Earth as a tool and medium, exploring its algorithms and seeking bugs that fracture the illusion of control. The video 'The Edge' addresses not only the horror of the Paris attacks but also the flattening of perception that hyper-filtered views impose on danger, loss, and death. The installation is deliberately understated, contrasting with the raw materiality of the space, suggesting that art does not require a white cube but rather a direct confrontation with reality. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog published by Kappabit.
