 Guido Corazzieri Colour City Italy 2000, 6’ At this point it has become a certainty: the boundaries of reality are starting to disappear. The computer and all of the technologies and languages connected to it have radically modified the possible scenarios that surround us. Even architectural planning, the actual idea of it, is changing. If a driver is now able to be physically guided by a satellite and, at the same time, surf the web, why not...why not imagine, in the near future, surface finishing of buildings, for example thermo-modified, fluorescent and phosphorescent paint, or even an organised system of intelligent spots of digital data transmission (coordinates, information, advertisements, decoration, news). Through specific glasses, provided with screen lenses, all these elements would be decoded and visualised, reflecting, above all at night, another purely imaginary city, a true work of art that replaces and integrates the physical reality, but only for the time needed for its consumption. This is not a specific plan, nor a mere b-movie fantasy, but a possibility that could, within a short time, become reality: virtual urban furniture! Wearable computers, perhaps computers that can be operated with a glance, have by now become the future gadgets of desire. The Wap video-mobile phones have become a reality, screen glasses are already being sold in shops and 3D graphic processing has become more and more photo-like. The complete integration of reality with its representation seems to be more feasible and it is becoming a true possibility to carry out business and seduce the potential customer. A mind breaking question: who will control it? Guido Corazziari was born in Bari on 11th July 1952. He graduated in Architecture in Florence in 1980. The title of his thesis is: Notes for Planning Pleasure: an Urban Holiday Club (Supervisor: Professor Architect A. Natalini). From 1971 to 1974 he worked as scene photographer for ART/TAPES-Florence. From 1975 to 1977 he was the co-founder and programmer of “Bariradiouno”, one of the very first independent radio stations in Italy. From 1977 to 1983 he worked as author and stage designer at the National Italian Television channel RAI. In 1981 he founded “Spazio Immagine” (the first photographic gallery in Bari). From 1981 he was a teacher in permanent post at the Accademia delle Belle Arti (he held a course on Special Graphic Techniques). In 1983 he won an EEC scholarship that gave him the opportunity to go to the “Domus Academy” where he obtained a Master’s degree in design. In 1984 he won the first prize for Italy in the contest Lino & Moda and he was invited to exhibit his works in Montecarlo. In 1987, thanks to a scholarship, he went to Paris, at the Université de Marly Le Roi where he obtained a diploma in Serigraphy. He worked then as a free-lance architect and multimedia artist, and has exhibited his works in several showrooms and contests in Italy and abroad. |
