Lunchbreak
today we had the chance to go a little bit outside of Florence during lunch break. Nice view, eh?
Florence a museum
I wish I had more time to look at the wonderful buildings, sculptures and paintings here in Florence. But I managed to see some already...
The oldest building in Florence, the Babptistery with the golden door to the paradise with eight pictures from the old Testament.
the cathedral Campanile
the beautiful frescos on the dome
some details like the last judgement
I've never seen so many devils in a church
these might not be Michelangelos and da Vincis but nice situations that are also part of the charm of Florence

The exhibition is running
some pictures of the exhibition
the entrance
Ars Electronica, Gilbert and George
the crazy opening ceremony
people really like the piece of Sonia Cillari
Se Mi Sei Vicino (when you are close to me)
And there are also other nice things to see
probably my favorite
Artists in Italy
Today I experienced something I would have never thought to be possible:
RAI International was invited to shoot at our exhibition. They arrived, took out the camera, filmed without presenting them selves, without asking about the background of the pieces, nothing.
We offered them to interview one of the main artists of the exhibition and they refused. Kind of because she is "just" the artist!
She is also Italian but lives in Amsterdam now also because artists in Italy are nothing. Here they are shit. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Installation
Actually the exhibition is already up and running but I upload some pictures of the installation process. It was not always easy to explain the local technicians what it is about if they have never worked with digital/media art before...
A colleague installing some computers in the hidden parts of the exhibition (his name is also Florian, like everybody's in Austria)
this is already the final callibration
But the whole thing feels a little bit strange 'cause the Florence Biennale features mostly paintings. We are the aliens with our digital art. The Corriere de la Serra wrote "invasion of the cyber creatives..."
