This is the era of the city, of hyper-production of images and of new media it emerges a need for a rethinking on the concept of time, a reflection on the idea of memory that appears as the complex place within which to build emotions and verify connections and assumptions about the different relationship strategies. All these factors converge to one dimension, like a progressive archive, which increasingly shifts its physical size to a fragmented flow: several places, as many times and many places in our lives have become a multi-dimensional compound of physical places, still more and more geared to virtual spaces in continuous re-definition. Therefore a geography for the human body strives for a new map, a map that needs to be as conscious and receptive as these constant changes that fuel our lives.
The objective is that to explore some cities in the five continents. Each of them will be studied for a brief period through a residence that will be develop in Art Center, theaters or university. During this time,energies and tensions of cities will be picked up through experimental practices of exploration and urban analysis using materials will be used (video, audio, body and geo-locative technologies and sensors) for the construction of site specific actions. Installations, object media based performance, video and workshop, will be presented in galleries, museums, theaters, centers of contemporary art.
Besides the permanent team, Alessandro Carboni can also use of resident guest, precious resources to understand the value of territories in which, time to time, it will be found to operate. The created materials for every exploration-city can produce a show accompanied by new installations, performance, publications and collaborations lectures tied up thematic graces to the explored places. At the same time, Alessadro Carboni will work to a new choreographic creation inspired to the materials of research

The show is taking place in the framework of the project "Focus on Art and Science in the Performing Arts" with the support of Culture Programme of the European Commission.
