SPECTRA MOVEMENT ACCORDING TO CINDY VAN ACKER Txt: Enrico Pitozzi / Img: Courtesy of Cindy Van Acker http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1768 Cindy Van Acker - a choreographer who is among the most interesting international figures in this field - for years has been involved in radical research on movement, with which she associates an investigation into the mise-en-scene as a device, but in an auditory key, accompanied by leading figures of the contemporary electronic field, such as Mika Vainio from Pan Sonic: she has been collaborating with him since 2007, when they worked on Kernel. A Swiss resident, Cindy Van Acker founded the Greffe Company in 1999, which she is currently managing. She studied dance in Antwerp with Jo Brabants and subsequently worked with important institutions like the Ballet Royals des Flandres, but also with leading figures of the international choreographic field such as Laura Tanner, Hestelle Héritier and Myriam Gourfink DONKIJOTE BY CRISTIAN BETTINI THE SUSTAINABLE SLOWNESS OF BEING Txt: Barbara Sansone e Jordi Salvadò / Img: Courtesy of Martín Ruano Prieto http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1762 Once upon a time there was a man who was travelling with a donkey. With them was also a GPS, a solar panel, a PC with a modem and a video camera. The donkey's steps guided the man through nature - steps that were very different from those that men have taken since they have been walking through cities. The donkey was called Minuto, and the Italian Cristian Bettini used him as a guide and as a metronome for his journey through an artistic project (Donkijote - third chapter of a complex project that started off as Lasino.org, and then continued as Donkeypedia) which allowed him to discover the fascinating Asturias region in Spain with his feet firmly on the ground. A YEAR OF ARTS SANTA MONICA AN INTERVIEW TO VICENC ALTAIO' Txt: Herman Bashiron Mendolicchio / Img: Courtesy of Arts Santa Monica http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1766 The 2010 of the Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona began with new stimuli for creativity and discussion. Fresh with new mentalities, a new spirit and new aspirations, Arts Santa Mònica, an old convent situated on the emblematic Rambla and just a stone's throw from the sea, now passes on to a new stage in its history, which is dedicated to interdisciplinary issues connected to art, science and communication. The new space aspires to be a meeting point between humanistic and scientific culture, a place for thought on the fast transformations taking place in a digital society where knowledge assumes an increasingly transversal character. An innovative centre that offers the Catalan capital the possibility to unite research projects with exhibition projects, theories with artistic practices, in a fluid dialogue between the different disciplines that concern art, science and communication. ------------------ DIGICULT is an online/offline Italian platform, created by art critic and curator Marco Mancuso in 2005, to spread digital art and culture worldwide.
