Man and Technique: Photography as the Art of Modernity in Franz Roh and László Moholy-Nagy’s Thought
2013
A great turning point took place in ’20s and ’30s of the Twentieth Century for the definitive awareness of the expressive and heuristic potential of photography: it becomes, indeed, together with Cinema, the art of reference for its technical – and hence very modern – nature. The greatest interest of photographers and theorists of photography focuses then on those experimental images that are really “photographic”: images that are the result of a mature and correct usage of the photographic media, showing in addition the new look imposed by it on reality. Contemporary to Walter Benjamin’s theories on photography and the work of art technically reproduced, László Moholy-Nagy and Franz Roh’s …
Le origini sintattico-vocali del linguaggio
2011
language: syntax. We believe that comparative studies on animal cognition may help us in throwing light on its evolutionary path, if we refer to this term as the basic ability to connect elements in a regulated order. Non-human animals, indeed, lack the ability to connect tokens yielding an infinite variety of meaningful sentence-frames. This is due (at least) to anatomical or neural reasons. Nonetheless, the study of evolutionary convergences and phylogenetical dynamics, namely the analysis of monkeys' and birdsongs' utterances - reveal evidences for the presence of a “phonic” syntax, interestingly evolved in both species as a mean to modulate social contacts and spaces.
Arte convenzionale – ovvero – perché non possono esistere artisti realmente anticonformisti
2014
The representation of the artist is generally that of a nonconformist, a lonely Bohemian eager to revolutionise the world from his studio. From this perspective, the traditional interpretation of art history is one of linear progress, spurred on by moments of innovation aiming at new states of conventionalism. This article shows how such a perspective has much to do with the philosophy of modern times, even though it doesn’t provide a satisfactory explanation of the meaning and development of art throughout the centuries, bound as they are instead to the necessity of convention with the values of society (or of its élite) rather than on wild individualism.
Valeria Tatano e AA. VV. Oltre la trasparenza.
2012
Recensione del testo di VALERIA TATANO (CURATORE), Oltre la trasparenza. Riflessioni sull’impiego del vetro in architettura, Officina, Roma 2008. La storia del vetro in edilizia coincide con la ricerca della trasparenza: grazie al vetro la luce può entrare negli ambienti che, al tempo stesso, sono protetti dagli agenti atmosferici. Negli ultimi anni, con l’evoluzione tecnologica, abbiamo assistito a una rivoluzione delle possibilità di impiego di tale materiale. Il testo Oltre la trasparenza offre uno scenario completo sui possibili usi innovativi del vetro nell’architettura contemporanea; obiettivo dell’articolo è quello di evidenziare i caratteri essenziali di tale evoluzione.
