Present

Fallt - "invisible cities" sound installation
"Sometimes a glimpse is enough a glimmer of lights through the fog, the conversation of two passers-by who meet in the crowd enough to make me think that on leaving there I will put together the perfect city, piece by piece, made up of fragments mixed with remains, of instants separated by intervals, of signals that one sends knowing not who shall receive them"
Le Citta Invisibili, Italo Calvino

Janek Schaefer - "cold storage" audio live
"Close your eyes and open your ears. Everything in the world has at some point made sound, or been the cause of sound".
J. Schaefer

Miltos Manetas - "the man from neen" net art meeting
"Websites are today's most radical and important art objects"
M. Manetas


The Preview_04 of the annual Sintesi festival, which has been held in Naples in December every year since 2002 in a series of extraordinary locations, is hosted for the second time in the space of the Fondazione Morra, at the Palazzo dello Spagnuolo in the Vergini area of Naples from April 23rd-30th 2004.

This year Sintesi presents an overview of British sound art with installations and site and space specific performances. These move into the domain more commonly associated with architecture and social geography.

Sintesi Preview_04 investigates and proposes sound as originator of sensitive and dynamic environments, a new architecture of the present through the aesthetic and musical research of the of the major practitioners, in collaboration with the British Council
