Augmented skateboarding: amplificazione multimediale di uno stile di vita

An audiovisual performance in which the movement of a skateboard equipped with a sensor becomes not only an action in space and time, but also a flow of digital data that can be creatively shaped into a generative visual. The skater collaborates in this type of art projects by skateboarding in real time while managing the video. Thus, an original union between skateboarding and visual art is established. A double scene is created: the sports and movement performance that participates in the artistic one. By increasing the predetermined use of the skateboard through the sensor, a lifestyle is amplified.

It demonstrates that nowadays art, through the support of new technologies, can explore new things and establish relationships with practices and activities unrelated to it.
