GIORGIO DI NOTO
Around the images
#Guided tours
The Department for Preventive Education is presenting a series of free guided tours designed and created by the artists exhibited in RETROFUTURE. The second event will be hosted by the artist Giorgio Di Noto.
The activity focuses on the relationship between visual language, the modalities and ambiguities of the practices of production and use of images, experimenting with various possibilities of translating digital content into material objects.
Participants will be guided through the creation of their own project through visual associations of images and conceptual and aesthetic links, starting from an initial pretext such as a question, an image or a text.
The possibilities and techniques of constructing a visual path will be explored through personal images, archival documents and materials from the web as points of departure. The focus of the workshop will be to rework this content through material translations, experimenting with different printing techniques such as transfer, lumens, and collage.
