The III Videobardo Festival, organized by Javier Robledo and Collettivo
Videobardo, which - since 1996 - curates the homonym international archives
of video poetry, presents at the Biblioteca Nacional of Buenos Aires and
Centro Cultural Borges recent works of the Italian media artist Caterina
Davinio .
Davinio's Works
Knives , video, 1'28", 2007
Nature Obscure , video, 1'45, 2007
"Nature_Obscure" and "Knives" are part of a series which includes video,
digital images, photography, about the topics peace and nature, realized in
2007. The digital works by Davinio do not focalize on the aesthetics of the
electronic image, but on its "matter", making visible its texture done of
pixels, in a perspective that embraces some practices of the historical
avant-gardes, such as Futurism and Lettrism, Dadaism, Concrete poetry. In
Knives , short video about peace, on the contemplative view of a meadow
echoes of present and maybe future wars reach us in the form of voices from
radio stations. In Nature_Obscure , starting from photos realized by the
artist in Brazil , Nice and Italy , Nature is evoked as enigma giving us an
ultimatum, a revelation of its unknown deepness, made visible with some
unexpected text and graphic elements. (...)
Media artist and writer, Caterina Davinio is active in numerous fields of
experimental art. Pioneer of Italian digital art and computer poetry in
1990, she presented her work in many countries in more than 150 exhibitions,
