I’m very happy to have my article Towards a semiotics of the audible in the issue 6 of Signata, as the editors gave me the opportunity to finally review and translate into English a work I started with my PhD thesis. Here it is.
In the occasion of seminars at CIRMA, with Alessandro Mazzei, my partner in crime for this kind of stuff, we analysed Nanni Balestrini’s Tape Mark I, probably the first poem created using a computer. We reconstructed the original implementation and proposed a new formalisation. And of course generated a lot of new versions.
On 29/09/12 I have presented with Alessandro Mazzei a paper at the XL Meeting of the Italian Semiotics Association, this year in Turin. We’ve sketched some preliminary notes on semiotic issues of programming languages. While studying it, we got hooked, so now we have a new research topic..
The new, interactive, multimedia space of “The House of Ancient Remedies” will open on saturday Febr 5th. The hall of plants will include sound design for six different plants made by me an Paolo Armao. More soon.
On Oct 28th 2010 I should be ubiquitous as I will present also a communication dedicated to audible domain in the Universal horror talkies at the Sound and Image conference in Turin, this year dedicated to “sound and genre“. Luckily, the first author is Luca Canova, and he will present our work.
I’ve been invited by friends and semioticians Pierluigi Basso and Giacomo Festi to present the GeoGraphy simulation system at IULM, Milano. We had a very fruitful discussion. Thanks!
I’m presenting an analysis of Bergman’s The Hour of the Wolf at the conference dedicated to Bergman here at Uni TO. That flm is an impressive achievement: I’ll try to show how much also from a sonic “point of hear”
Having written a (little) book on the subject, I’ve been asked by the Ultracorpi collective to present Coppola’s The Conversation. One of the best film ever produced. At Cinema Massimo, Museo Nazionale del Cinema, Torino, Friday February 19, 8.30 pm. Thanks Ultracorpi! It will be a pleasure to see TC on screen.
I wil present an analysis of the (notorious) opening sequence of Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West at the conference at the second seminar on sound and image at DAMS, Torino, October 26/27 2009.
