Alterazioni Video, “Incompiuto Siciliano”

from REFF, RomaEuropa FakeFactory

The architectures of the Incompiuto Siciliano (Sicilian Unfinished) are the tool used by Alterazioni Video to enact an operation worthy of a situationist superhero: transforming, in a surreal and hypnotic acrobatic jump, the perception of the territory in a display that allows for ethnographic observation of the people that live on it, the stratification of cultures and processes through time, law, fashon, habits, tastes and desires.
Buildings abandon the status of dead architectural corpses and become objects to read, to taste in a state of extasy, in a real-augmented environment in which an information layer is put on the territory, resulting modified, interactive and alive.
Extreme territorial recontextualizations: theme park meets archeological parc meets rave party meets place for political claims meets relational artwork.
From the authors:
"The research on unfinished architectures confronts the theme of unfinished public works in Italy, multidisciplinarily investigating among the relations between these architectural works and the context into which they are placed, stating their artistic value and proposing a new stylistic definition. We see the entire "national system of unfinished works" that we recorded in about two years of research as a material witness on the current socio-cultural context that fills our daily life , and we offer a definition as new style that is able to giving back its contents from multiple points of view.
We want to show how the "unfinished" isn't only a label in which to forcedly enclosing an etherogeneous set of works, but more a true theoretical model, which is able to recognize, identify and, to a degree, foresee the configuration of a work, or a system of works, that exist or that are about to exist. Unfinished works appear to us as the places in which a collective memory exists which needs further investigation, born as ruins produced by a compressed time, architectrues that shape their landscape."
