The French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa on show in Milan with “Digital Mourning” curated by Roberta Tenconi. After Trisha Baga and Daniel Steegmann Mangrané, Pirelli HangarBicocca continues the research path among  new aspecs of video and digital art, tracing the contemporary ranks through artists who have made cutting-edge devices their own form of discussion and experimentation.

In 2014 Art had already predicted a Pandemic outbreak and the digital human response, with an Artwork/TV series. This is how Neïl Beloufa welcomes us to his first Italian monographic exhibition. The Screen Talk interactive installation opens the show and invites the audience to choose which premonitory episode to watch in the maxi screen just in front of him...

“An Italian (Architect) in...” is a series of meetings, carried out by Matrix4Design in partnership with Superstudio Group.

Camera della Moda (Chamber of Fashion) had announced the exceptional effort of the entire fashion sector for this February appointment with Milan Fashion Week. And so it was. A busy week, with a number of appearances, including fashion shows and presentations, nothing to envy to "usual" fashion shows, those that lay down the law and business in happy times when the word pandemic was not part of common language. Seven days of elegance and extravagance in response to a single question: what about tomorrow?

So virtual catwalks, walk-in between buildings and monuments, empty theaters, light runways in the dark, visionary sets, country views, comforting apartments, stunning environments, graphic interventions were the virtual frame of fall/winter 2021/22 fashion. With Italian fashion superstars, international brands, reassuring classics, contemporaries, the emergent ones, transgressive, fashion "niches", accessories. All freely combined, one behind another. A free and varied panorama, an open and punctual evidence between new-classic and provocation, between strict-chic and street-mix...

Architect, biophilic designer and sustainable advisor, winner of the World Green Design Contribution Awards and the Green Building Council Italia Leadership Awards, he has been working for years on the sustainability theme through hybrid proposals ranging from architecture to interiors and green details of lifestyles.

You call yourself as a biophilic designer. What does that mean exactly?
Being a biophilic designer means placing the  focus on "Human" factor with Environment and Nature Ecosystem...

Incredible as it may seem, it is since the early 1900s that special cinematic effects have been experimented through a double film shooting that can add spectacular backgrounds and sudden appearances in a seemingly normal scene. A hundred years later, with the advent of digital, the possibility of recreating virtual worlds in which real people move has become a professional choice increasingly accessible of photographers and movie directors thanks to the green backdrops whose official name is Chroma Key. Over more than a century the technique has been so perfected that it has allowed the creation of fantasy or epic masterpieces with incredible scenarios. Photography has also appropriated it for more commercial purposes and these days a green screen (color that allows you to insert the desired backgrounds in post-production) is often the solution when traveling to suggestive places is as impossible as it is now. A Chroma Key and a powerful computer and every fantasy becomes possible.

For the first time the White fair, the most important in the international contemporary fashion area, is totally digital. White for 20 years had been held in the halls of Superstudio Più and from there occupied the entire via Tortona with other locations, reaching a record number of 500 international brands. For White too, the Covid-19 pandemic, with the impossible proximity of people and prohibited or limited travel, meant a change of strategy. The new digital format includes 200 companies and numerous initiatives to support SMEs in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan and other institutions.

Many institutions and organizations have joined together to contribute to White's new course, including, in addition to the Municipality of Milan, MAECI, ICE, Confartigianato Imprese, Cittadell’arte-Fondazione Pistoletto, IDEE Brand platform up to the new CSM-Camera Showroom Milano association...

Recent digital experiments to give new life to fashion shows even in the persistence of the pandemic have generated the first entirely virtual Milan Fashion Week. And this is not the only novelty: in general innovation there are interesting grafts that bring fashion closer to the people, to the metissage in progress, to the free inventiveness of creative directors who have taken over the leadership of well-known brands and to new designers who are totally free from the rules of good dressing, flanked by the most consolidated names by lasting successes of Italian fashion.

The National Chamber of Italian Fashion...
