planned and created by

an event dedicated to the suburbs of the world and their inhabitants
SABATO 21 GIUGNO 2003
The project IN_VISIBLE OUT_SKIRT, a European project that won the Cultura
2000 award (sito web: www.in-outvisible.net)
Concluded on 21 June 2003 with an event planned and created by Margine
Operativo and Riot Geneneration Video that visited “out of the
way” areas and usually “not designed for” art but very
meaningful for the social life of 7°Municipio di Roma , that is
the park in via delle Palme a Centocelle.
The event continues from 21 h. till midnight and a “metiche”
videoinstallation” with monitors, televisions and schreens –
with a continual video flow.
The video flow, created by Riot Generation Video especially for the
occasion, was constructed as a homage to the no-plces of the suburbi.
The video flow runs through the various “surfaces” all the
time moving and criss-crossing on three levels:
_1_
images created by RGV in spaces that are symbols of the “suburbs”
and of the Roma metropolis
_2_ images (photo and video) of the 7° Municipio taken by studentis
durino the workshop held by RGV
_3_ images that are manipulated live by Riot Generation Video from a
vj console, therefore part of the flow is made up of a video live set

The video flow is accompanied by electronic music and by live sound
landscapes created by Margine Operativo
During the evening a video created by Riot Generation Video was projected
together with the students involved in the work-shop video project,
Invisible Outskirt The video was created solely by the students and
narrates the territory of the 7° municipio through interviews made
in places that are particularly symbolic of life in the area.
During the evening a video created by Riot Generation Video was projected
together with high-school students from Rome ‘In-visible Out-skirt’
, this is a European project that won the Culture 2000 award, having
the Comune of Roma as leader.
This project centred round a European confrontation on digital art.
In fact, it chose to concentrate on three interwoven themes that are
very important for the current cultural profile of the city: on one
hand the suburbs have returned to playing a major role in the city life,
on the other, the new generations, who more and more demanda n outlet
for their special capacity while reflecting contemporary reality, and
finally, digital art, still seen with mistrust, but which attracts more
and more “visionariy energy that is able to offer new and original
contributions not only in the strictly artistic area but in a more general
context of the growth of a modern contemporary notion , based on digital
images.
The
project evolved around the questions: is there a form of networking
between art and communication that allows a common virtual or are these
only polluting contaminations? What does art mean in the peripheral
areas of the world? How have young people responded to the project proposals?
Did they allow themselves to get involved or did they haid behind reassuring
stereotypes?
Within
the INVISIBLE OUTSKIRT project, Riot Generation Video planned and held
a workshop video from November 2002 until February 2003, with pupils
from the high schools of Roma, at the Istituto tecnico L. Bottardi,
Roma.

A video of the territory
of 7° Municipio di Roma was made, shot entirely by the students.
Through interviews made in areas that are particularly symbolic, it
tells the story of their territory, the places where they spend their
everyday lives.
Strong colours and concentrated expressions in a video that makes obsessive
use of interviewing as a technique to quiz the “witnesses”
about a reality that is difficult to analyse and delve into.
The students ask and the people at the market, at the shopping centre,
answer gladly as if in a familiar theatrical routine where each one
knows how to play his part, from the lady to the pensioner, a home-made
Truman Show seen with simple and natural irony.
The video produced was presented durino the event of 21 June.
