DIGITAL VIDEO WALL

DIVERGENCES is a video work conceived by mixed-media artist Federica Sasso and sound artist Luca Pagan, who collaborate under the name 4E. During a live performance, a man who lost his left walks continuously on a treadmill, positioned within a sterile environment and fully immersed in a virtual reality simulation. The work reflects on how an external object is perceived both through digital systems and through embodied experience, connecting these dimensions to human perception of space and the stimuli that traverse it. The artists push the relationship between human beings and technology to its limits, inviting viewers to question the future transformations of interactions between the physical and the virtual, the role of ergonomic solutions, and the implications these may have within contemporary society.

Federica Sasso is a visual artist and researcher who uses photography, video, and artificial intelligence to explore the relationship between the human body and technology, as well as the boundary between the real and the virtual. Luca Pagan, a sound artist and performer, focuses his research on the interaction between sound, body, and space, with particular attention to sonic biofeedback and devices that integrate motion sensors, AI, and audio. Their collaboration led to the creation of studio 4E, an intermedial laboratory whose name refers to the four dimensions of cognition: embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended.
