Guernica

Guernica is a contemporary film music work that lasts about an hour, which is performed live by a group of musicians and a video-jockey.

A long music video, a sort of fotonovel animation, a concert. In other words, this is a special “Italian way” comedy so heavily steeped in comedy of art to become a symphony of sound gestures and mimic words
Estereotips cooperate to Guernica from the beginning, taking care of editing, animation and interactive programming tools.

the Adventures of Prince AchMed: Reloaded::: was born from the close collaboration with the Catalan artist DaaX! Vai site daax .
The performance is a audio/video real-time remix from movie “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” (1926) by Reiniger, Koch, Ruttmann, largely considered the first longmovie animation.
Telling one Arabian Night’s tale, for its bright colours and his style it’s a perfect material for a live reinterpretation. While DaaX will comment and give rhythm to actions by composing algorithmic music, Qè will crash movie’s linear time sequencing-recreating-remixing narrative’s salient points .

IstanbulMap

This project aims to be an instrument of trans/cultural dialogue, a bridge between Europe and Asia, East and West, as the city of Istanbul is for his geographical location.

We are interested in investigating the use of cartography as a exploration tools.Familiarity of this format allows us to subvert its conception, its consumption and its use. In other word, rewrite a new reality. The ISTANBULmap is a ironic game where users are invited to discover a new mapping of the city.

The process of developing the map is the result of participation and exploration of activist community in the city; a mixture of creativity and knowledge, a visualization format on continues trasformation, a test on what can be planned and what is accidental, an alternative way to define the processes of memory construction in any cultural context.

Datagihters is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between art and video. Through a Wiimote, plays a horizontal scroll shoot’em up which produces sound in real time. Every enemy, in fact, enables or disables the step of a sequencer of 8 steps and 5 tracks. Through the game, reproposing the typical style of ‘80 videogames, player create music, making this act uncertain but interactive.
Going over debate whether the game is art or not, we believe that the game may be considered a tool for art creation, like other software used with this aim.
