This is the first episode of a project specially designed for television. Stereo consists of 30 structures of 30 seconds filmed and recorded in super 8mm, video 8 to DVD. The 30 Drones are titled, numbered and designed to function as autonomous bodies and as part of a narrative machine.

Steve Reinke, Canadian video maker and writer. Literary extensions, autobiographic fragments and monologues. Portraits, confessions and media freak actors, eventually ruins outlining a map of distant worlds next door. The personal sphere and the media usurpation.

Third and last section of videos containing snow. Having snowballs returned to sender seemed to create havoc with the image processing Codec but I liked this particular accident of failing technology.

Video work "Stone/Irruption of Reality" is born from the encounter with women who are working ten and more hours per day as stone-breakers and rock-bearers over Buthan mountains' streets (North-East of India). Working women as ancient as the mountains from which they seem to break off; women whose faces convey a profound calmness, although their hands are slaughtered and their faces marked by strain. Video images are since the beginning strictly related with excited voices from New York's Stock Exchange, suggesting a deep connection between economic power and exploitation, between wealth and poverty in the world. This relation is underlined also by Master Alessandro Cipriani's sound concept, that processes stockbrokers' nervous voices into stones' noise, till it gets into a hammer's hard rhythm which beats time of these women's lives, hour after hour and day by day. Reality comes out in all its rawness and its grief.

A kind of counter-advertisement to support the activists accused for the blockade of the Parliament on 15 June 2011. Edited with found footage that mixes an electoral campaign ad for Artur Mas and an ad for Audi, the car that he uses. This armoured Audi A 8 was the cause of one of the most serious accusations faced by some of the defendants. According to the prosecution, they brushed against it and hit it with their fists… and for this they are requesting an 8 year jail term. The Audi is a contemporary revival of what Ernst Kantorowicz said about the king’s two bodies in feudal societies. According to old political theology, the king had two bodies, an earthly one and a heavenly one, and as such attacking the first meant attacking God himself. You could say that Artur Mas also has two bodies, one is his own and the other (the heavenly one) is his Audi. So hitting the almost one and a half tonne armour plate of this massive vehicle is the equivalent of hitting Artur’s nose: almost an attack of lèse-majesté.
