STEREO_VERSO INFINITO

STEREO TOWARDS INFINITE

Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Duration: 17'


Short sequences follow each other on the screen; worn-out film
from the 1930s gives way to a digital game that overturns the
consequentiality of the action. Different genres and styles intertwine,
placing archival material alongside true experiments with images.
Each segment is numbered so that the film can be freely re-edited
for each projection. A tribute to the spectator and to his active role
respect to cinema.


“The project Stereo was born in 2000 to invent a system for classifying
sounds, images and texts. Stereo is made of thirty structures on the
model of the thirty-second haikus which are simultaneously
independent of each other and part of a whole. The third Stereo was
called Verso infinito because the editing is modified every forty days,
producing an evolution of the material that is both horizontal and
vertical. In a certain sense, we have invented and patented a system
of information classification, a system that continuously changes form:
a contribution to the death of cinema and the image.”

Biography

film director

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.
