The fifth edition of Videocittà, the Festival della Visione, is set to take place in Rome from July 20 to 24, 2022, turning the Ostiense archaeological industrial area surrounding the Gazometro into a vibrant audiovisual center. Highlighting themes of digital and ecological transition, the festival features a variety of installations, performances, discussions, and video art. Eni showcases 'Luna Somnium' by fuse* within the Gazometro. At Opificio 41, the 'Presente Futuro' exhibition displays crypto art from artists like Esteban Diacono and Giuseppe Ragazzini. Notable live performances include Maotik's 'Erratic Weather' and Max Cooper's 'Unspoken Words.' The video art segment presents works by Wu Tsang and others, while discussions focus on generational transition and the Anthropocene.
