Dissonanze in Rome

Dissonanze is the electronic music and digital art festival of Rome. Since the year 2000, Dissonanze experiments and entertains exploring the relationship between creativity and technology, researching the unusual connections between sight and sound, between lights, rythm, color, noise, silence and the architecture of its magnificent locations. As well as famous artists and successful art works, the festival presents emerging artists, previews, original collaborations and site specific productions commissioned by Dissonanze for the different and unusual spaces that host the event.

"This is our visual music!" is the claim for this edition. Musique concrete and dance music, ambient and noise, techno and electro, 16mm film and neon lights, video and laser… Dissonanze 6 game is to stimulate an encounter of differences, extremes and opposites and let them explode in a flow of "visual music" that warps the normal dimension of a club, a concert room or a gallery, changing the art itself and the architectural structure of its location with 'total' shows that distort the normal dimensions of perception: from the spectacular United Visual Artists lights design and the techno and electro icons sets, to the project curated by eclectic Edwin van der Heide dedicated to the more experimental artists, passing through the selection of hypnotic audio-visuals ideated in collaboration with Digicult. "This is our visual music!"

Dissonanze: 19 - 20 may 2006; Roma Palazzo dei Congressi.
