Concept – Visuals – Sound: Lorenzo Oggiano. DVD Pal 4:3, 4:38 min, B/W, stereo, 2006. The Quasi-Objects cycle, a work in progress since 2003, is composed of photos and (8) videos generated with the assistance of 3D modeling, animation and rendering software. In earlier works consideration had been already directed at the process of complexification of contemporary universes of Sense, focusing attention on possibilities for chronicling semantic shifts intervened in the system of subjects/objects. “Quasi-Objects” continues on the same research path, processing its synthetic-combinatory genesis as “operative advantage” within a practice of organic re-design intended as a whole to stimulate thought about the progressive relativisation of natural forms of life as a result of techno-biological evolution. As products springing from digital calculation, synthetic images are free from any reference to optical reality and from relationships of existential references; the possibility of accessing, thanks to them, to “plausibility”, abandoning at the same time any attempt to a “judgement of truth”, not only opens up creative research to unattended plastic horizons but – by inevitably shifting attention from the Image itself to the knowledge-quota of the digital model that establishes its “presence” (from the output to the process) – we think it contributes to make ourselves positively willing to constructive thought about the relationships we entertain with the Real and particularly on the meaning of Life in terms of a real and autonomous process disjoint from any specific material manifestation, a generative grammar that is independent from the holding subject. In this Sense “Quasi-Objects” regards data actualization, the production of biologically a-functional occurrences (bio-politically dysfunctional), dealing about Life, but without reference to the outcomes it is used to recognize; “possibilities” that can be viewed as transient outputs of an operative practice: aesthetics of Process. Cinematic N.07 (2006) is the fourth video of the cycle.
