-VITALOGY a Study Of A Contemporary Presence-


ISBN 1900300494


Published on the occasion of Italian born Carlo Zanni's first solo
show in England at ICA, London (6 October aE' 6 November 2005) this
title features Zanni's digital works (in many cases works
aesthetically determined by a data flux gathered in real time from the
Internet). It takes the form of a 'project book', rather than a
catalogue and the main idea is to start a series of 35 volumes
following the historic "Enciclopedie" of Diderot and D'Alembert
(probably the first example of rhizomatic publication). This first
volume, numbered VIII G (read G8), is a light anthology of six
Internet works done by the artist in the past five years.

Contains six texts by Italian new media scholar Carlo Giordano where
he writes about the pieces, covering both technical and semiotic
issues. Also includes an introduction by ICA Director of Performing
Arts and Digital Media, Vivienne Gaskin.

English, Italian and Chinese text.
