for Carlo Giuliani, Gene Bird murdered in July 2001 We do not know what a body can or what can be inferred from the mere consideration of its nature (Spinoza, Ethics, Book III) If we could know, predict, infer … there would be no revolution possible, or scientific discovery, nor romantic encounter or artistic production. The earth would be sadly stripped of life. We prefer to say that we need to Walter Benjamin “win the revolution forces of drunkenness.” The artist, the poet, is the one that multiplies the possibilities of the body. By seizing electronic machines, it continues relentlessly adventure as old as humanity, a joyful and insolent dream: to escape the rules, become infinite power. This constantly renewed experience raises the poet mail (videographer, musician, artist …) as the hypothesis of a renewal and a re-enchantment of life. He argues therefore against the current of the river that drowns ideological currently our consciences. Terrorism manager, he prefers the guerilla poetry. Artistic creation is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity on which the vast majority of men is private. Approach Instants Video aims to share the artistic experience with the largest number without sinking into the mud of demagoguery. Works we choose to give you to see, feel, hear, are contemporary human landscapes. Their roots crisscross a multitude of territories hatch to come within reach of our eyes, our sensitivity, our critical faculties. Electronic poetry carries with it the global nomadism that we claim for every human being. Nomadism language: international programming video creation, exhibition of video installations and multimedia performances, concerts, performances and body images, debates, meetings, poetry readings … Everything is possible.
