“The word "parrhesia" appears for the first time in Greek literature in
Euripides [c.484-407 BC], and occurs throughout the ancient Greek world
of letters from the end of the Fifth Century BC. But it can also still
be found in the patristic texts written at the end of the Fourth and
during the Fifth Century AD, dozens of times, for instance, in Jean
Chrisostome [AD 345-407].
Etymologically, "parrhesiazesthai"
means "to say everything – from "pan" (everything) and "rhema" (that
which is said). The one who uses parrhesia, the parrhesiastes, is
someone who says everything he has in mind: he does not hide anything,
but opens his heart and mind completely to other people through his
discourse. In parrhesia, the speaker is supposed to give a complete and
exact account of what he has in mind so that the audience is able to
comprehend exactly what the speaker thinks”
M. Foucalt
(Discourse and truth: The problematization of parrhesia,
at University of California, Berkeley, Oct-Nov. 1983)
Adopting the term parrhesia, referred to its extended meaning of free
communication, as conceptual frame, the Parrhesia project intends to
analyze the functioning of the social networking within contemporary
society.
Parrhesia, trough a collaborative action between
artists, curators, anthropologists and new social media researchers,
promotes the discussion and the deepening over strategical issues for
the dynamics of the contemporary sociality (M. Maffesoli)
Does the streaming of 2.0 web communication shape society? How does the
continuity between the horizontal streaming of social networking and the
new comunitarism take place? Is it possible to design and pre imagine
further developments in this constant flux of information? Has
democracy, as historical structured organism of co-management of power,
reached its limits?
As its praxis, Parrhesia promotes a
collaborative procedure which, respecting the individiality of each
work, tries to develop a collective dicourse about each specific issue.
"Aset"’s Fabio Campagna installative intervention designs, through a
group of symbolic enunciations, a construcitve hypothesis on the 2.0 web
interaction within the contemporaneity sociality.
"Aset"
(throne in egyptian, and usually referred to describe goddes Isis)
presents itself as a stylized mirrored sculptural structure which,
resembling the “matriarchal” throne, holds a private social-net
projection over an obscure woods photgraph print. The dimension of
communal, non hierarchical 2.0 communication addresses a different
outline of contemporaneity. Reverbereting to the egalitarian equilibrium
of non patriarchal society archetypes.
Marco Giani’s video
installation "Still", which reproduces an instant of social net
communication, articulates the meccanism of predicability and
manipulation in 2.0. Adopting the same image in different soundscape, it
investigates the imposed automatism in creating pre constructured
answers.
Aleks Slota’s “Lifeworld/Lebenswelt” is an online
performance which, projected as a skype connection in the gallery, will
investigate the topics of alienation and non comunicability within the
functioning of 2.0 interactive platforms.
"Inevitabilty" is a
web sound performance by Fabio Campagna and Aleks Slota which,
alterating on line texts, played on youtube, it will elaborate an
alternative episteme. Decostructing the structures of informations and
exposing the underlying nihislistc ideology.
Different
approaches describes a whole new portrait of our social behavior in 2.0
communication. Opening up new perspectives and hopefully tracing
unexpected directions.
