Is it possible to challenge conventional ways of text-based academic knowledge production? ‘Landscape without Locus’ counterposed scholar texts with images drawn from wide-ranging contexts, from historical and contemporary art to documentary photography, photo reportage, and AI-generated imagery.The book is a tool for generating knowledge on the complex relationship between our visual culture and the social and economic conditions that both shape and are shaped by it, underlining—amidst anthropogenic environmental crisis—the need for a more critical and more engaged attitude to visual representation and communication.

The art course at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano began five years ago, practically no time at all. Parallel Spaces was created to tell our story to others as much as to ourselves. The combinatory game we are telling is the one that we have undertaken first, walking through both the actual and the impalpable corridors of our building, looking out of room after room, and peeking to record what happens in our house.

Diplorama 2020 stems from the need to give a creative response to the impossibility of organising for a face-to-face audience the fourth edition of the exhibition of Bachelor and Master theses of the students of the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bolzano. We subdivided our response into four parts: a trans-media network of four digital and real spaces, that multiply the presence of Diplorama within and without the borders of the Faculty.

Grotoni e Malocchi is a tribute to the sculptor Carlo Zauli by the artist Massimo Bartolini. The publication is part of the work, with a text specifically written by the Italian writer Maurizio Maggiani. The title of the installation is taken directly from the tale. The words ‘Grotoni’ and ‘Malocchi’ are untranslatable in English, though they refer to components of ploughed earth; the Grotoni being dry clods, the Malocchi wet. The publication merges the two languages: the story told through words, and the materiality of the earth, folded as a photograph in the poster.

How can technology and emerging media provide new pathways for interacting with dance history in new and unexpected ways? How can machine learning and gesture-based interfaces invite our bodies into cultural memory, both remembering and reinventing choreographies from the history of slovene dance? Appropriating technologies of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition from existing digital surveillance tools, the project capture images of visitors' bodies to categorize and include them into the spatial display of an exhibition.

How can the land’s shared value be singled out from the ongoing political discourse, so that it won’t be questioned in the future? How can we represent its complexity, without oversimplifying it into the basic opposition of preservation vs. exploitation?
