Yuri Ancarani and Samuel Kerridge Collaborate at Robot Festival Bologna
Robot Festival, dedicated to electronic music and digital arts, concluded its four-day run in Bologna from October 7 to 10. The visual arts section featured the premiere of Bora, a traveling music project by Yuri Ancarani, now reworked with British artist Samuel Kerridge. The project combines a live improvised multi-instrumental performance with a video installation depicting the desolate landscapes of the Karst plateau in northeastern Italy, merging animation and music. Among 27 visual art projects, over 20 were selected via the call4roBOt competition, which sought new works on accelerationism in digital art. Notable was Boris Labbè's Rhizome, a video installation aiming to deconstruct conventional cinematic representation. These performances took place on Saturday at Palazzo Re Renzo, the festival's headquarters.
