VISIO:
Moving Images in Europe since the 2010s
A Conversation with Leonardo Bigazzi, Timoteus Anggawan Kusno, and Fabian Schöneich in CCA Berlin
CCA Berlin is pleased to invite you to the book launch and accompanying conversation for VISIO: Moving Images in Europe since the 2010s – a publication intended to contribute to the international debate on moving images and to disseminate the results of over a decade of research and conversations.
Edited by Leonardo Bigazzi, the book 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 talks reflect on radical technological and formal 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: Antonia Alampi, Erika Balsom, Andrea Bellini, Leonardo Bigazzi, Federica Bueti, Beatrice Bulgari, Barbara Casavecchia, Sophie Cavoulacos, Manuel Cirauqui, Ilaria Gianni, Hassan Khan, Oliver Laric, Maria Lind, Andrea Lissoni, Philippe-Alain Michaud, Han Nefkens, Emily Pethick, Julian Ross, Aura Satz, Hito Steyerl, Bianca Stoppani, Robert Trafford, Valentine Umansky, and Francesco Urbano Ragazzi.
The book launch will be accompanied by a conversation between Leonardo Bigazzi, editor of the book, Timoteus Anggawan Kusno, winner of the VISIO Production Fund 2023, whose latest short film After Colossus will be presented at the 75th Berlinale this year, and Fabian Schöneich, director of CCA Berlin. The conversation will be held in English. Free entry, no registration required.
