The volume turns its gaze to those male and female artists who, at different times, have investigated the dimension of the void, denying it in substance or identifying it as a mere ideal dimension, or whose work has proved capable of reflecting the epochal changes in the perception of the dimension material, introduced by the emergence of software and computerization paradigms, as well as the digital revolution and its systematization. The exhibition catalog explores the theme of dematerialization and creates a transversal story that highlights the connections existing between the investigations into the void – undertaken by the first historical avant-garde movements and developed by the experimental groups after the Second World War -, research on flow dating back to the years of the first computerization and the use of new languages and simulated realities in the post-digital era. The volume opens with texts by the curators Lorenzo Giusti and Domenico Quaranta, and is divided into three thematic sections - Emptiness, Flow and Simulation - which frame as many ways of focusing, representing and expressing the principles of dematerialization. The introduction of each section of the catalog is entrusted to a scientific text, unpublished in Italian: Karen Barad for the section dedicated to the Void, Luciano Floridi for the section dedicated to Flow and Myron W. Krueger for the section dedicated to Simulation . Insights on the works on display are entrusted to Italian and international art historians.Cybernetics and ghosts , in which the writer focuses on the impact of information theory on literature, on creation and on our vision of the world, on the end of the author, on the man-machine relationship, and on what was not then yet called artificial intelligence.
