VISIOMoving Images in Europe Since the 2010s

 - VISIO
This volume brings together visions, experiences and critical interdisciplinary methodologies that have been instrumental in the development of the language of moving images since 2010. New essays and conversations reflect on radical technological and poetic transformations in the works of the generation of digital native artists, adhering to the shared processes developed during the first twelve editions of VISIO – European Programme on Artists' Moving Images, a research, production and residency project promoted and organized by Lo schermo dell'arte in Florence.
The book features original contributions from twenty-three authors who have participated in the program over the years and is divided into two main sections: the first reflects the theoretical and discursive approach of VISIO by alternating essays and conversations; the second compiles a large archive of the first twelve editions of VISIO.
The texts investigate various topics: the questioning of a European identity; the accessibility and role of academic institutions and residences; the evolving significance of images in the digital age; the virtual realm as an exhibition and research space; the impact of documentary practices on contemporary production; the rise of investigative aesthetics and exhibitions as a medium to renegotiate truth; the commodification of digital images and their influence on power consumption; the shifts in curatorial approach to physical and digital spaces; a focus on the practices of VISIO generation artists; and how public and private institutions commission and collect moving image today.
Edited by Leonardo Bigazzi.
