The Digicult Agency is back!!!

The Digicult Agency was born in the summer 2008 as a Digicult side project.
Today it ovelooks the digital art and culture market with a wide spectrum
of artists, performers and designers creating audiovisual immersive systems
(performances and installations) focused on the relationship among sound,
visual and space. The Digicult Agency wants to promote original work by
selected contemporary artists, encouraging their activities via this online
platforms, art festivals participations, cultural events invitations, art
fairs and selected exhibitions.

Digicult Agency supports and encourages new artistic productions and
collaborations between artists and experts. Supporting research, innovation
and the ongoing distribution of our productions, Digicult Agency aims to
make a significant contribution to the development of new ways of making,
presenting and experiencing contemporary and digital art.

Working as an agency, Digicult promotes and organizes the work of these
artists, presenting their art pieces within some important festivals,
galleries, exhibition, events and cultural centers in Europe and worldwide.
The cross-artform projects that Digicult promotes, are characterised by
powerful new ideas, high production values and technical innovation on the
border among Live Media concerts, Live Cinema experiments, Audiovisual
Environmental Installations and Screenings. Often these qualities result
from the unique nature of Digicult’s collaboration with the artists,
developing their projects over extended periods of time.

WHAT WE DO

The Digicult Agency develops various projects for festivals, galleries,
events and cultural centers in Europe and worldwide. Encompassing
exhibitions, concerts, performances, films, public art works, publications,
Digicult’s Agency programs are presented in collaboration with
major/renowned digital art, art-science, audiovisual and music festivals
and events worldwide. Productions and promotions are developed through
close and often long-term relationships with some of today’s most
interesting artists, theorists, curators, critics, researchers and are
supported through a wide range of technical, scientific and artistic
collaborations that Digicult Agency facilitates.

The professional people that represent the Digicult Network of journalists,
curators, artists, theorists, practitioners and critics, are also involved
in the theoretical and practical seminars and classes, lectures and round
tables in cultural events, festivals but also universities, academies and
art/design schools worldwide.

Thanks to all these collaborations, Digicult Agency has been also having
the possibility to develop both commissioned curatorships and also its own
specific cultural and artistic projects, that become like formats that were
replied in many festivals and exhibitions and become an example of Digicult
Agency eclectic curatorial activity.

Digicult Agency acts as a bridge between artists, practitioners and
organisations within the business and cultural sector. We have respectable
experience in commissioning works and projects for both the art sector and
in the creative business, count with the expertise knowledge of academic
researchers interested in the field of Audiovisual, Digital Art and Design
and more than everything, we love digital culture. We work on different
levels with our partners, according to their individual needs and visions
on shared practices, aesthetic experimentations, technological researches
and applied sciences.

If you are following a concrete theme for an upcoming event, we can help
you to find experts who are dealing with the topic of your interest or your
institution opts to organize an exhibition involving digital/media art. We
can link you with an expert on media art/experienced media art curator. We
develop different kind of event/project/exhibition/talk/seminar/workshops
that can be included in your event that will certainly attract: more
audiences, match your theme, give international visibility, bring in well
established artists/practitioners/researchers/curators and add.

Kimchi & Chips - Lit Tree
http://www.digicult.it/agency/kimchi-and-chips-lit-tree/

A conversation between tree and people through 3D light patterns using the
tree’s leaves as voxels. The tree invites viewers with a choreographed
cloud of light that can respond visitors motion. As visitors approach, they
can explore the immediate and cryptic nature of this reaction.

Mylcon/En - Dark Star
http://www.digicult.it/agency/myliconen-dark-star/

One single location, crazy special effect and 4 actors for a peculiar
travel into deep space and a reflection on the relation between man and
thecnologies. Mylicon/en likes to play on the same coordinates: deep space
and concrete landscape depicted by “hand made” effects.

Motomichi Nakamura
http://www.digicult.it/agency/motomichi-nakamura/

His characters seem to represent the perfect union of opposing forces like
good and evil, darkness and light. Using only black, red and white graphic
elements, jolts of razor sharp editing, combined with a minimalist approach
to design Motomichi yields maximum impact. With these elements he creates
powerful visual statements about the world we live in.

Otolab - Bleeding
http://www.digicult.it/agency/otolab-bleeding/

A synaesthetic and synchronic live performance. It is based on the
phenomena of retinal persistence and uses sound up to 400 bpm. Bleeding
uses two screens, one of which is painted with phosphorescent pigments.

Teatrino Elettrico - Work!
http://www.digicult.it/agency/teatrino-elettrico-work/

Little machine made of home electric appliance parts, little speakers,
cathodic tubes, audio and video signal mixed togheter. Sick and
anti-economical circuit light-on a mini-landscape populated of strange
characters. Result is a raw and rough ambient of analogic origin.

Squidsoup - Scapes
http://www.digicult.it/agency/squidsoup-scapes/

Tuned software and specifically designed sounds are used to generate a
series of abstract landscapes visualised on a bespoke room-sized 3D grid of
lights controlled in real time. As the sounds are played through speakers
and picked up with microphones.

Telcosystems - Thrift / Semaphore
http://www.digicult.it/agency/telcosystems-semaphore-thrift/

Complex decisive processes activated by machines, both in live performances
and installations, based on the collective behavior of used systems, for a
new form of audiovisual production, perhaps for the first time ever in this
area it is much closer to the language of films, video or sound.

Lucas Werthein - Boom Shakalaka
http://www.digicult.it/agency/lucas-werthein-boom-shakalaka/

A a game and installation allowing visitors to engage with a game using
physical interfaces. A machine that has a life of its own, but can be
manipulated and altered as people begin to play and exert their actions
into the fantasy world
