The project is centred on the creation of the first museum dedicated exclusively to one of the most interesting forms of contemporary art: web art (SHOCKART.NET).
Il WAM vuole essere un centro di formazione rispetto alle diverse discipline collegate alla web art ed alla comunicazione digitale, e un’ entità aperta alla circolazione, distribuzione e connessione di varie forme di conoscenza e creatività.
The
WAM wants to be a training centre for the different disciplines
associated with web art and digital communication, as well as an open
entity for the circulation, distribution and connection of various
forms of knowledge and creativity.
The setting up of the presentation event of the museum project to the public, which took place in Rome in the San Lorenzo area in 2006, was conceived according to the means of communication that feature the exhibition nature of the WAM.
In addition to the presentation videos of the various projects done, it is also possible to use the web art exhibitions managed by shockart.
Using software that was especially created, it was made possible to explore the architecture problem produced by the students by using TAG creating both an architectural and cultural character as regards themes on web art and other realities that are protagonists on the art scene. In partnership with Scalaunoauno, other multimedia installations have contributed to exalting the interactive character of the event: (p)ASSAGGI SONORI at San Lorenzo – an interactive journey into the sounds, noises and voices of the district. SAND IT OR SEND IT? - Mandala Architettonici, IPERPIAZZA – The hypertext takes form. Physical representation of a hypertext. WIP – WEB IMPORTANT PERSON – Experiments of photo-transport on the web. Finally, sounds and images on a giant screen accompanied the showing of the installations.
