Work from his oeuvre
“In the act of making something, all other options die–unborn. The ones you did choose not to make. The constant opportunity of what might have been reverberates–eternally–in what actually becomes factual.
Based in Milan, Enrico Boccioletti is an artist and musician active in the fields of post-conceptual, new vernacular, performance and sound, interested into incompleteness and circularity, duplication and accumulation, waste, layering, forgery, faux-real.
In his work he plays with the paradoxes of a material world bathing at the source of digital intangibility: relationships and value in networked communities; perception of the self and expectation, performance anxiety in condition of overexposure to information; space and time in over-excited lifestyles into an accelerated culture; reality as mediated through the screen; arrangement and re-interpretation of pairs of opposites such as “presence/absence”, “real/virtual”, “actual/possible”, in form of intertwined concepts; language in the age of digital image; hearing and sound, relations between harmony and noise in Western civilization; strata of hybridization between substance and data; abrupt of the immaterial into a tangible environment; the quasi-post-human condition split among the contradiction of immaterial labour vs. physical needs, everyday demands vs. the universal texture, sexual desire vs. pristine dematerialization.” – O Fluxo
