Journo
|
| |
 |
Journo | Born in Tripoli, Libya in 1958 to an Italian family, Journo has dedicated much of the last 20 years to collective arts, producing music projects, directing documentaries and short films. Using this broad spectrum of experience, he has developed a subjective style which is illustrated in his work - installations, videos and large format digital arts.
 |
| |
| About the Artist |
|
Journo's work expands from art and science to mathematics and codification, tackling issues concerning serialisation, uniformity and our way of living in our society based on illusions and superficiality. The artist explores that through a wide range of medias including, oil painting, installations, video and digital art (Information Technology is the medium that almost everybody in our post-industrial society uses in the course of their normal life, but also because it allows a self referential and paradoxical discourse).
Journo investigates the ethics of codification from encrypted codes to behaviour codes and genetic codes. His recent works are a series of reflections on the opening of a new era in the history of human kind, the era of biotechnology. |

| RIV Reversed Interactive Video (2006)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:04:29)
Reversed Interactive Project is a video installation conceptually created to make the audience interact and becoming part of the art piece. The Reversed Interaction is moved not by electronics, computers or new technological means but through a primal natural behaviour of human being: the contagious act of yawning. Scientific research on yawning has produced considerable results in the last 20 years, especially with new imaging technology today we have pictures of 3 months old unborn foetuses yawning.
Popular perception identify yawning with boredom and/or feeling sleepy; not exactly what you wish to happen during a successful exhibition… As a paradox that is the goal of Journo’s work, provoking in the audience a chain reaction of yawning through its unstoppable and contagious potential. Yawning at an art exhibition is the subtext of Journo’s message about the state of some meaningless contemporary art, based just on sensationalism and mere aesthetic look.
