ABOUT

 

Alessandro Carboni presents the project EM:toolkit - urban mapping and performance practice  at the MAB-Media Architecture Biennale-2014 Aarhus. On this occasion, the artist presents his latest research through a performance and a talk. This moment is preceded by a phase of study-research during which the artist conducts the workshop Em: toolkit - cartography as Embodiment process on days 3, 10 and 17 November at the Kunsthal Aarhus.

Alessandro Carboni presents his latest research on Em:toolkit - urban mapping tool for performance practice. The artist has explored with the body, the city of Aarhus, observing and interpretating the 'events' that occur and happen in real-time in the urban landscape. The artist aims to reveal those 'events' that already exist in urban space, but that we are not fully aware of because they are at the periphery of our attention. The toolkit suggests that they are just waiting to be discovered and therefore the work of the mapping process, is to reveal them and activate what would otherwise be latent.

The performance will be preceded by a talk during which the artist will present videos and pictures as examples of the mapping process developed in Aarhus with performers and visual artists.

The project is part of Alessandro Carboni’s PhD research Performing Urban Complexity, School of Creative Media, City University, Hong Kong. The project is devoped in collaboration with  Participatory IT research centre, Aarhus University.
