WAITING 4 ORACLE

Luca Pozzi

a cura di Emanuele Catellani

18.05.2012 — 30.06.2012

Luca Pozzi experiences the exhibition space of Fondazione Barriera, linking materials and beliefs from different references and origins, from religion to science, art history to sports. The project WAITING 4 ORACLE is generated by the sum of the research conducted and the grammatical evolution hanging in it. The watershed between the first chapter of his practice, characterized by electromagnetic installations and performative use of photography and future projects currently invisible, is a series of videos made in 2011 in an extreme region of Washington states (USA) in which the artist draws a series of open-air light drawings using a UV led on a phosphor screen of the size of a door, during the twilight time.

This particular experience has tried Pozzi to conceive an upgrade of this practice, namely the construction of a technological device capable of reproducing this analogue process of drawing with the light on phosphor remotely, using, as a dimensional bridge between spaces, the digital world of the Internet. This machine at the moment does not exist but his name will be Oracle. WAITING 4 ORACLE is an exhibition based on a bet on the future.
