This multivision session presents a collection of work, created by professional authors who approach the design and application of audio visual in new and inspiring ways, and who produce work for clients and agencies. These multivisions show what can be achieved without these commercial restraints, using their own personal aims, ideas and creativity.

During the presentation of the book "The Fairy (seducing) Woman", research by Anna Lisa Balboni, about the iconography e symbolism of the woman in the culture of the 9th and 10th centuries, the Accademia degli Imperfetti supported the publication and commissioned this multivision to share with all the members and the participants.

"The Breath of the Blink". "Look at the lamp and consider its beauty. Close your eyes and then look at it again: what you see now was not so before, and what it was, no longer is." (Leonardo da Vinci)

The peculiar title of this work is a Rumanian word that means "look".
And it was exactly the faces and expressions of Rumanian people that captured me during my trip realized in 2002 in these places. "Rumanian Dances" of Bela Bartok for piano accompany the images.

CENTRO (2.00) Watchout panoramic, proj. 3: Aldo DI RUSSO, Alex ROWBOTHAM & Sandro DI STEFANO (IT)

Center. This is a simple, graphical and musical 'diversion' by the three authors of the work. The term "center", beyond any political or philosophical connotations, identifies in Italian, as an infinity of possible declinations and meanings. The apparent central symmetry allies, by marriage, the pizza and the solar system, the center therefore becomes a sort of esperanto around which to discuss, smile and entertain oneself. And so we hope that it will be for those watching.

The client was ACER, the Builders' Association of Rome. The concept for the multivision was to present the historical-cultural aspect of 'building' for 'housing' needs. Inspired by the book on the "invisible cities" by Italo Calvino, the ideal city focusing on culture, industry or nature, and today on that "urban breath" that represents the discriminating quality of the citizens' lives. If a city is to be a living museum, it should never evolve and should not even modify the number of its inhabitants and its economy. Rome has changed many times over the centuries, from Roman to medieval, from Baroc to today's city. Changing in a consistent manner with the economic development and the quality of life of its citizens that makes Rome eternal. It is this mixture of ancient and modern that generates a new function and sets an identity for ever.

There are two attributes we all possess; curiosity and the need to create. The degree to which we possess these attributes defines who we are and how we make our lives.

As an Industrial Designer Brendan Dillon solves contemporary problems, but what drives his curiosity is the ingenious and beautiful design of the vintage machinery he restores and uses in his everyday life.

To solve the mysteries presented during restorations Brendan has immersed himself in the period. He needs to think as the original designer would and he has had to master the arcane technology of the time. “ I can see who the designer was from the shape of the piece, his personality manifests itself through his hand at the drawing board through to the final object”.

Brendan has become, in a way, an engineer and artist in another time, a colleague of those whose creations he restores.

Multivision produced for the Museum of Aspromonte in Calabria. The intention is to draw, through the words extracted from the "memories of Giuseppe Garibaldi", an itinerary in the history of ideas of the hero of the two Worlds. His principles, his love stories, his battles, are all of them the result of the same inborn free nature and thoughts that Garibaldi imagines, after the wounds suffered in Aspromote, to leave as inheritance to his son Menotti and to all young Italians. The event told during the landing in Marsala of a little girls shouting from the balcony of her home "Viva Babbaldi" refers directly to what the great-great grandmother of the author, eye witness to the landing, has told.

The show was produced for Areva - a French owned nuclear power services company - to open a 4-day conference of high-level Nuclear Power industry executives from North America. This conference is held every two years and serves as an opportunity to explore the challenges, trends and opportunities of this complex field. As a meeting opener this show was responsible for introducing the theme and concept that would run throughout the entire conference.

"The Power of an Idea" explores the power that is inherent in mans' imagination. It traces the development of big solutions that have started with simple ideas. It also puts into context the power behind the ideas and solutions of the client - Areva.

In short, it invites the audience to consider the power that resides in all of us to create.

SONG
All of a sudden everything is different in the ice-cold universe, governed by blind rules and dominated by enormous forces, however in this show we can still see beauty, warmth and comfort, like the echo of music far away. (Dario Fertilio)

To Invent the City. The second part of the project for ACER leads us through the frontiers of imagination and perception like the interpretative keys necessary to daily life. Each place, each building, each corner of our city takes up meaning from the use one makes of them and from how one looks at them: without us as "interpreters" what is built by man would be "invisible". A Fellinian paradox that is a comment to the idea that life is a continuous story telling and that each one of us may be the story teller of our self.

The text for this presentation came from one of those "send this on to another 10 people for good luck forever" emails except Mal kept this one instead of deleting it. If the world were 100 people how many would be male, how many female? How many would be Europeans? How many would own the majority of property and where would they come from? This collaboration features an original score by Dale Cornelius, design by Anthony Ginns, animation by Alf Kuhlmann all combined with incredible photography from Lonely Planet Images: www.lonelyplanetimages.com

"Ledger" is an intensely personal artistic expression. I find profound beauty and elegance in the scientific language of our world and universe; in the way we document its organization and structure, and the passage of time.

The title, "Ledger," a book for recording events, is the device I selected for exploring the language of science, particularly mathematics, quantum physics, astronomy and geography.

Mark Isham's highly emotional score for the film "Crash" was chosen for it's beautiful cinematic passages. The music evokes powerful imagery, and provides a lush and fluid landscape for exploring my visual ideas.

My program begins with the chorus of a song by Johnny Cash taken from the Bible: And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw. And behold, a white horse.
"Come and See" seemed the perfect prelude to my show: inviting viewers to share my vision.

"Ledger" uses elements that appeal to me personally, but I hope that you also will find beauty in the way these elements are combined, and the emotions that they provoke.

Come and see...

Along the way he has to pass through the Latrobe Valley that has most of Victoria's electricity generators all fired by enormous reserves of brown coal. Mal always thought one particular power station had very dirty emissions from it's smoke stacks. When information about global warming became freely available Mal discovered just how dirty it really was.

There are voices who want the world to be propelled by engines of hatred and fear fueled by lies, hypocrisy and selfishness. As if they miss the good old days of the Cold War, they seek new enemies to play their games. Peter Gabriel wrote 'Here Comes The Flood' as a response to the Mutually Assured Destruction of the massed Soviet and American nuclear missiles. Today things are more subtle or perhaps more perverse and we have made our gods into slayers. Don’t be afraid to cry at what you see in our world. Do not place your faith in the power of dreams or wishful thinking or the comfort of poetry.
