Digicult and VJcentral.it have curated for Optronica "ITALIANS DO IT BETTER", an overwiew of some of the most innovative Italian audiovisual artists working on the concept of AV experimental electronic synesthesia and the eclectic use of codes and softwares.  

The artists presented are: Elec, Kinotek, Mylicon/En, Tez, Quayola and Otolab.

In IDNLNY by Elec, visual objects are programmed in actionscript while the audio signal is converted into numerical values that function as oscillators.  In Kinotek's Linfa, the artist developed his own software for real-time video processing and sound analysis and in Portobeseno, artists Mylicon/En play with all manner of video stills, photographs and Super8 movies.  CF#1_1 by Tez calls his work a "procedural video composition" in which custom software generates an ever-changing videopainting that reacts in real time to a multi-channel sound composition. 151.05 by Quayola is a video in which each layer of the 126bmp audio track has it's own specific animation.  Finally, Otolab's Field is a generative video in which the 3D space is formed from short-wave signals and interferences.
