Project realized for the exhibition held in Ravenna on November 4th 2012, O (Ax) = d = (Am) curated by Marte.
The work is based on the contrast between the heaviness and the materiality of the mosaic and the intangibility of the web-files.
Reading a QR code (in itself like a mosaic it is also a mosaic of information) refers to a video loop where the mosaic of the dome of the Baptistery of the Arians is interpreted as a video games.
To watch the video you need a smartphone with a proper QRcode reader.
