Videogiochi

P.A.D.
2007–2015

A video and sound performance by P.A.D. (Piccolo Artigianato Digitale): Anna Franceschini, Diego Marcon and Federico Chiari. A portable industrial conveyor belt works as a quasi-narrative device, carrying objects through short staged "object-shows" about the life and death of pop and industrial items. The performers activate a series of cheap tricks, props and self-made devices that reveal both the image and the mechanisms that produce it.

The structure is fixed, but each version focuses on a different theme. The basic version has been restaged in three variations:

Videogiochi (Mediterranea): Italian stereotypes
Videogiochi (Gran Milano): Milan icons and symbols
Videogiochi (Halloween Edition): characters and objects from the horror imaginary

Videogiochi, conveyor belt, camcorders and small objects on the floor

All works
