The Socket Screen project on the external wall of the Embassy in Piazza Navona. This is a performance that make the audience be the protagonist of an audiovisual creation and part of a collective action. Through a web application for smartphones created by the artists, the audience is asked for typing a few words. This generate a sequence of images taken from the network. By accessing to the mobile application, the viewer is directly connected to the performance and he will live through the audio visual composition projected on the façade individually and collectively together with the rest of the audience. The installation Territories Complexos 4639w 2334s exposed into the Embassy, in the Candido Portinari Gallery. This represents a new vision of the city of São Paulo focusing on Avenida Paulista, considered as the main junction of the city since its opening in 1891. By using different survey devices, such as cameras, video cameras and GPS, this area has been mapped, and a lot of audiovisual data have been recorded. The installation, created with two projectors in a mirror architectural structure, produces a kaleidoscopic, asymmetric and polyphonic space.

  • Bio: Partendo entrambi dal mondo del video e la sua declinazione più sperimentale che racchiude al suo interno tecnologia e architettura, Rafael Marchetti e Rachael Rosalen iniziano la loro collaborazione nel 2007. Combinando lavori di disegno di spazi (Rosalen) e di creazione di ambienti cibernetici (Marchetti), i due artisti creano insieme istallazioni interattive e spazi ibridi. Modificare lo spazio circostante attraverso soluzioni tecnologiche che portano lo spettatore in uno spazio altro, installazioni immersive che modificano la consueta percezione. Nel 2008, hanno ottenuto una residenza artistica presso il Warteck Werkraum a Basilea per il progetto About Love and Other Politics. Tra i diversi progetti che hanno sviluppato insieme, Territórios Complexos è stato presentato anche alla Kunstraum Walcheturm e al DIY (Zurigo), al Plugin (Basilea), al Bains:Connective (Bruxelles) e al Subte (Montevideo).
