Alterazioni Video

Artist group (Paololuca Barbieri, Alberto Caffarelli, Matteo Erenbourg, Giacomo Porfiri and Andrea Masu), Milan.

 

Established in Milan in 2004 by Paololuca Barbieri and Alberto Caffarelli, the group waiting to be transformed into a S.p.A., now benefits by the participation of Matteo Erenbourg, Andrea Masu and Giacomo Porfiri. Grandchildren of the community video groups, of the militant communication labs, of the counter-information and the Italian “video hoodlums” of the 70s, Alterazioni video members describe themselves as a platform which combines art with a social and an alternative function of the new electronic media. Culture jammers, neo-situationists and media-activists, the members of Alterazioni Video infiltrate - camouflaged – through the meshes of Society ready to highjack messages and information of the official communication stepping from one medium to another: from street art to web space, from D.J. live sets to physics laboratories, from urban enquiries to the production of community T.V.
