METRONOM

Ain't Free (2020) by Georgie Roxby Smith is the first video intervention FILTRO, the third edition of DIGITAL VIDEO WALL, an annual project structured in thematic chapters, which promotes the dissemination and experimentation of digital art.

FILTRO is the theme chosen by Gemma Fantacci to present a series of works whose focus can be identified in the keywords avatar, identity, body, digital vs analog, IRL vs virtual worlds. FILTRO is intended with the double meaning of a device that allows the implementation of changes, real or virtual, to an object or body, and finally of a lens, or screen, through which we experience an altered version of reality and the media landscape that surrounds us.

Ain't Free explores the carnival of the empty capitalism and the desire to present the best version of the self, of one's home, of one's life, through the incessant purchase and continuous updating of skins, hairstyles, bodies, clothing and homes.

With DIGITAL VIDEO WALL Metronom offers a place dedicated to the exhibition and presentation of digital art languages. The peculiar position of the video wall, which allows 24-hour use from the street front, transforms the DVW into an urban intervention, a way to redesign and change the image of the street.

The press kit is avaible here.
