Alterazioni Video

Alterazioni Video is Paololuca Barbieri Marchi (Rome, 1974), Alberto Caffarelli (Milan, 1978), Matteo Erenbourg (Milan, 1982), Andrea Masu (Cremona, 1970)  and Giacomo Porfiri (Milan, 1982).

 

Alterazioni Video members describe themselves as a platform which combines art with a social and an alternative function of the new electronic media. Culture jammers, neo-situationists and media-activists, they infiltrate - camouflaged - through the meshes of Society ready to highjack messages and information of the official communication stepping from one medium to another: from street art to web space, from D.J. live sets to physics laboratories, from urban enquiries to the production of community T.V. Image saboteurs, they focus their work more on the use of representations rather than on the production just like when they set up a fake fashion show in Milan or when they reconstruct the format of Guernica painted in an ONU blue. Alterazioni Video therefore belongs to that emerging artistic generation which operates through various projects in the "grey zone" between art and politics.
