Back in 1930 Ortega y Gasset had already accurately described the lethal product of mass society. This marks the birth of the mass-man, mediocre, conservative, repetitive. A man who doesn’t hate rich people, he loves them. His first words were, “I am what I have.” The agony of the social system is marked by anti-clerical and anti-militaristic poetry. “The project Mass-man was inspired by a book of poetry by an unknown author and includes eleven artists’ books and a quadraphonic audio installation.”

canecapovolto canecapovolto
Canecapovolto is a group which was formed in Catania in 1992. In nonstop experimentation through acoustic film and music played on a modified keyboard, documentaries and film-essays, installations, happenings, and paper collages, Canecapovolto studies the expressive and political possibilities of listening and sight, and on the dynamics of perception. The group interweaves various methods of audio and video narration in order to investigate the scientific matrix of communication and, above all (most importantly), to free so-called spectators from their historical role. In 2016, they founded the Scuola FuoriNorma in Catania, in order to investigate experiential teaching which involves audio and visual devices.
