Media System | Silenziostampa!, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

“Silenziostampa” è un progetto d’informazione d’alto livello qualitativo, il cui obiettivo è il superamento dell’agenda setting temporale. Monitorando le notizie si punta ad offrire un’informazione continua e costante dei fatti, a differenza dei media tradizionali, che tendono ad abbandonare le notizie e a seguirne solo i colpi di scena.
Fulcro del progetto è un portale web, in cui sono pubblicati gli articoli organizzati per temi. Gli articoli sono in parte prodotti ad hoc da giornalisti ed esperti professionisti chiamati a collaborare con “silenziostampa”, in parte rinvenuti su altre testate provenienti da tutti i Paesi. Gli utenti sono invitati a collaborare al reperimento segnalando articoli interessanti alla redazione, che si preoccupa di verificarne il potenziale contenuto informativo e quindi di pubblicarli.

Media System | Kilibri, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

Lunga vita alla lettura!
All’interno del sistema dei media italiano, abbiamo analizzato e approfondito le caratteristiche e le problematiche del sistema editoriale e in particolare quello librario.Le case editrici posseggono varie collane editoriali specializzate in differenti tematiche, ma tutte sono accomunate dallo stesso problema dei fondi di magazzino invenduti.
Kilibri è un nuovo editore che riunisce sotto di sé tutte le maggiori case editrici e si propone di ‘salvare i libri condannati al macero’ dandogli una seconda chance con la vendita dei libri a peso. Inoltre vuole affiancare alla vendita dei fondi di magazzino anche quella dei libri usati portati sul punto vendita dagli stessi utenti, in modo tale da rafforzare la loro partecipazione attiva all’iniziativa.
La filosofia di Kilibri si basa sui concetti di riciclo e recupero delle risorse librarie inutilizzate, portando anche l’attenzione sui temi dell’ecologia e del rispetto per l’ambiente. Perché anche riciclare la carta ha un costo, non solo a livello economico, ma anche per l’ambiente. Senza pensare alle tonnellate di pagine da leggere che finiscono ogni anno al macero.

Cinematographic System | Another point of view, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

The cinema system tends increasingly to promote only the movie event.
For some titles media coverage is even exaggerated, and often entirely uncritical, while a number of other movies deserving culturally, artistically interesting, socially challenging, often, are totally ignored and then remain unknown to the general public. The research carried out between 2000 and 2007 on movies financed by the State, certifying that more than 40 movies are not available on DVD and are therefore devoid of vision. We want to create an event travelling in a university that can promote these movies, with also an alternative distribution.
The spread of these movies lead to the possibility of being able to carry out further investigation on the approval of the this movies and on expectations that generate among young people, can make it possible to eliminate the elements of obstacle in promoting and the development of the positive elements. We are a member of an association for the cinema, FAC (National Committee for the promotion of movie art and culture), which is calling for the promotion of movie culture. We promote exhibitions of unknown movies or little quality views, care publications of Italian movies authors and reporting periodically quality movies among those in circulation.
Our action is a promotional event that will visit the major universities of Italy with an itinerant truck. The truck will be set up like a small movie theater and allow students to be able to see movies without distribution on dvd. The students can also buy these movies with dvd on demand, and they can also help the diffusion of these movies. The name of our project is “Another point of view”, and intends to emphasize the purpose of the initiative, promote the financed movies without distribution on dvd to be revised under another point of view. It also provides a new window for these movies that deserve to be widely used and have another chance to be understood and appreciated by the public. Our sponsor are MIBAC (Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities) that provides funding for groups or entities that organize events to promote movie-making activities in Italy (pursuant to Article 19 of Legislative Decree 22 January 2004, n. 28), also inside and outside the truck, LCD screens will be used in thanks to HANNSPREE a new tecnology brand.
There are two ways to collect data among students: interviews conducted by some people outside the truck, and a questionnaire placed on the back of the ticket, to mail in a box after seeing the movie.
The questions investigate the degree of knowledge of the films, directors and actors; expectations and tastes of the audience, on topics and the possibility of the dvd purchase.
The event will cross twenty Italian universities, one for each region, during the entire academic year from October to July.
The quality films financed by the state involved in the event are 20, selected according to different movies.
Everyday (from Monday to Friday) the are four projection 10-13-15-18 with 4 different films from 10.00 AM to 20.00 PM.
On the outside of the track will be mounted a large LCD screen that will send a blob of films offered throughout the day, to attract the students and book shows.­
We expect that students can help the diffusion of this type of cinema and raise awareness to our initiative.

The main idea is a “place” (a website) in which the Italian Cultural Ministry (MiBAC) could provide suitable information about the processing of a movie production, from funding approval to shooting‐start, from post‐production to release date, in order to create a sort of beneficent expectation to whom the website users are called to participate as upcoming movie‐goer, uploading many types of contents (photos, videos, news, interviews, opinions, biography and careers editing…).

Italian Cinema System is afflicted with problems and unsatisfied needs. These cause the movies to reach a really small audience, to be screened just as a technical issue or to be unable to find a distributor. Creating a new alternative distribution channel could help these movies in changing their status from “non-dead”, giving producers and directors the chance to reach a larger amount of audience. Problems slowing the distribution process are usually economic ones. Therefore, it is really important to figure out a way to cut expenses.

Contemporary Art System | T-ES, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

“For Contemporary Art there are therefore essential requirements needed: something created by someone and a process that results in a social setting, that is an effective frame, something like art.”
(Alessandro Dal Lago and Serena Giordano, 2006)

It seems, in fact, that the production and enhancement of artistic is determined only by the logic of the market and the discourse on art. Initially we have analyzed the system of Contemporary Art in Italy in the last two years from the point of view of twelve breakthrough artist.
