Artist Statement:
We are inextricably linked to the landscape we inhabit as citizens as dendrites, as eco-systemic and non-ego-systemic beings.
The project Data Turbulences started from the drought in the Po Valley in Italy, where it has not rained for over 150 days, and then suddenly the region was disruptively flooded with all the rain missing for months (May 2023). The project entangles the data of moving bodies inside a nebulized projection. Data becomes tangible, and the projection and the sound are composed by the movement of the bodies inside the physical space.
Data are nebulized and liquefied as the new matter that shapes space. The dimensions on which the installation is created are dichotomies of visible/echoes, tangible/digital, local/global, data/drops, CO2/H2O. These tensions/connections creates a third space itself (a Weatherscape),that is shaped in-between and by weaving together the individual with the global, allowing us to understand how we are all intrinsically entangled on a molecular scale with the surrounding matter(s). The installation is a Lullaby for Floods, and a in-between space connecting us to the out-of-scale earthly turbulences: it exchanges our inner floods with external droughts, and we escape our inner droughts to swallow into external floods. We can just sit and stare at the dance of lost particles as we are spectators of present ruins/future ghosts and composers of present ghosts/future ruins.
In the changeling feeling of being entangled to the beauty of disruptive phenomena, where echoes of lost landscapes express the timing of nature as fluctuating present ghosts, to dissolve into turbulences and become Weatherscapes.
The projects holds the flexibility aiming to reveal the co-dependency of our dreams to the external/ex-treme phenomena,in this tension between scales,aerial and liquid, molecules and rivers,data and bodies, inhabitants shaping the space by being composers and being composed.
We are data turbulences, suspended in time and space, ebbing into new everywhen Weatherscapes.
