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.

tactic, but demanding!
i was actually waiting for a response from them!
it would be interesting: as you know REFF is turning out to be an incredble action, hijacking the common practices of a national government to let people working in arts and creativity have their institutional say.
and it is open in a global, international perspective
it is *truly* interesting t know what organizations such as rhizome think about these kinds of initiatives: after all they state being internationally networked and have do tend to promote actions dealing with the current crisis and with cultural politics
in my point of view it would be really significative if they'd catch the opportunity to support something that is not only focused on NY/Canada etc

let us be optimistic: maybe they didn't notice as they were too busy participating to the RomaEuropaFAKEFactory competition and critical process? ;)
http://www.romaeuropa.org

sounding like: "a net art project officially presented at the italian senate as the trigger to a significative political action on culture and creativity"
more info in a couple of days :)

"I am Andy Warhol.
I could not participate to RomaEuropaWebFactory.
A fake, a fake, what is a fake, anyway?
Nothing is real, the only real things are the ones
that you can reproduce, and make millions of them.
Take a thing everybody knows, change it a bit, and claim it as yours.
This is what our world is about.
We can do it! This is what we should do.
I am Andy Warhol.
I could not participate to RomaEuropaWebFactory.
Noone cares about originality. Originality is just too hard to define.
Go to a supermarket, buy one of everything, and expose it in a gallery.
This is what we should do.
I am Andy Warhol.
I could not participate to RomaEuropaWebFactory."
Andy Warhol's appropriations of the images and of the media, performed by mechanically reproducing commercial products and celebrity images in silkscreens, smooth paintings and facsimiles, poetically expressed some of the most striking and relevant approaches to art of the 20th century. Andy Warhol's video was rejected from the videoart section of the RomaEuropa Web Factory.
"This is not original work!" was the scream of the Jury.
Andy Warhol now joined RomaEuropaFAKEFactory, here:
