Description from the seller
Screenprint produced at Studio D Milano in 1972 in 100 numbered copies signed by the artist.
Filippo Panseca (Palermo, 1940) founded in 1965 the Gruppo Temposud. In 1968 he moved to Milan, participated in the Quadriennale di Roma, the Triennale di Milano and the Venice Biennale. In 1970 he began Biodegradable Art, exhibiting at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, at Lara Vincy in Paris, at the Naviglio Gallery in Milan, and at the Obelisk Gallery in Rome. In 1975 he attempted to produce online works to be transmitted simultaneously worldwide via satellite.
He carried out an unsuccessful experiment in Milan with Pierre Restany at Rank Xerox. On January 17 and 18, 1976, the newspaper La Repubblica offered readers at £150 one of his works printed in 330,000 copies.
In 1979, in San Francisco, he developed and printed the first images with a computer. In Milan, in 1980, with a monochrome computer, a video camera and a digitizer, he processed a series of images that, when printed, were presented at the Naviglio Art Gallery in Milan. Subsequently he created a quadricromic computer and continued the research on photodegradable digital images presented on video at the Venice Biennale.
In 1981 he installed a photodegradable Vittoria Effimera on the hand of Canova's Napoleon in the Courtyard of the Brera Academy, where he had taught since 1978. He currently lives on the island of Pantelleria, where he runs MediArtUniversity.
