The interaction between sound and moving image is the common denominator of these works, whose makers act in fields sometimes far apart. They have been invited by Digicult Video Screening for a collective confrontational opportunity to picture a fertile and multiple scenario, to find common grounds in the varied Italian electronic audiovisual production of these last years. The screening features works going from video art to animation , from graphic design to videoclips to audiovisual synaesthesy , presenting a range of approaches and methods so as to follow the different tinges of meaning around what is referred to as ‘audiovisual'.

Following the Italian cultural tradition in design and project, extending it to the ultimate forms of audiovisual art and creativity linked to the usage of new and digital media, the exhibition “+ 39” wants to be a breathing space on the artistic evolution of some among the most representative protagonists of the most recent Italian electronic scene. Without any celebratory ambition, conscious of the intrinsic value of the presented works, the exhibition “+ 39” , articulated through a series of performances, video exhibits and urban installations, is the first retrospective on those artists, musicians, designers, videomakers, vjs and programmers who, in the last 10-15 years in Italy, have consciously developed languages and easthetics within an ever-changing and spreading cultural ambit. “+ 39” is therefore the first opportunity, within a prestigious international context such as the Cimatics Festival in Brussels, for a whole movement of professional Italian creatives working in the digital domain to get together and be acknowledged as a proper ‘scene'.
