BIO
Salvatore Iaconesi (xdxd.vs.xdxd@gmail.com) works with technology in several ways.
Starting out in the hacking and pirating scenes all over Europe at the beginning of the '90s, he used several digital identities to experiment in various areas: ANSI/ASCII art, software art, mxed-media.
Rave parties and engineering represent the two turning points of his evolution.
Through engineering he started creating projects on web and mobile technologies for both artistic and commercial purposes: games, mixed-media concepts for events and performances, location based systems, distributed systems, computer/human interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics.
Through raves and rave culture he focused on the performative aspects of art.
In 2004 he assembled in Rome a 3-months continuous festival of the digital arts, called Art is Open Source (AOS).
Since then he has been performing mainly on the network and on performances.
His recent work focuses on the theories of the virtual, extended and mixed realities, on software as art medium, on hacking and hacktivism.

Location:
Bologna,
Italy
Enlarge Your Consciousness in 4 Days 4 Free uses people’s real time emotional expressions on social networks to animate a physical installation.
The emotions of millions of users on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and FourSquare are harvested in real time (using open available APIs and techniques such as Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning) and used to give life to physical manifestations and info-aesthetic visualizations.
The project is the result of a wonderful collaboration between Salvatore Iaconesi / Oriana Persico (Art is Open Source) and Lara Mezzapelle / Giacomo Deriu.
Enlarge Your Consciousness in 4 Days 4 Free will be officially launched at BT’F Contemporary Art Gallery Friday, January 27th 2012 at 7pm, and is an official initiative of Arte Fiera OFF.

VersuS on RaiTunes, musical voyage on the emotions of the planet
Dates:
Thu Jan 05, 2012 23:00 - Thu Jan 05, 2012
Location:
N/A,
Italy
Travel through 6 cities, in Italy, Europe and the United States. A live performance capturing in real time the emotions of cities, in an open dialogue with music.
On January 5th 2012, on RaiTunes, the sounds of Alessio Bertallot meet the hybrid, neo-real worlds of Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico. The language of radio will be contaminated with the language of new media arts, generating novel forms of expression and narratives.
Starting at 11pm and up to 11:40pm, “VersuS, the real time lives of cities” will be showcased in an entirely new version created to interact in real time with the RaiTunes playlist.
This version of the VersuS project will be officially presented during the broadcast, in which listeners will be invited to a realtime voyage into music and the emotions of London, New York, Philadelphia, Berlin, Bristol and Milan.
Moving from city to city, Alessio Bertallot will lead the audience through the discovery of the music that originates in those places, expression of concrete and flesh.
Simultaneously, planet earth will revolve towards the cities: a plunging zoom will allow us to experience cities’ chitchat in front of our eyes; the messages which people, in that moment, are exchanging on social networks will be captured, analyzed, and shown over the places in which they originated, in a dynamic, neo-real, visualization, showing in realtime the sensations of the people which live in that city, transforming us into global eyes, in emotional voyeurs of the whole planet.
January 5th, 11pm – 11:40pm, on RaiTunes.
Realtime updates and dialogue with Alessio Bertallot and the creators of VersuS will take place on RaiTunes’ Facebook page.
