Specchi di perturbante realtàwith Matteo Gaspari, Erik Svetoft, Stefano Caselli
The spaces drawn by Erik Svetoft in his comics are haunted by grotesque creatures and disturbing entities that recall certain aspects typical of Internet aesthetics - that is, all the liminal spaces of the Net in which subcultures proliferate and constitute an alien territory. Svetoft rereads his work together with Stefano Caselli, researcher in the field of gaming, and Matteo Gaspari.
The talk will be in Italian and English.
Entry: libero
Duration: 1h30
The talk is part of "Borders, Conflicts, Communities", realized in collaboration with the Erasmus Mundus course in European Literary Cultures at the University of Bologna, Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. In partnership with Swedish Arts Council.
