Pietro Babina, in his artistic research study on the linguistic possibilities offered by the new technologies, choosed to investigate GoPano. GoPano is a 360° video system and was projected by an american équipe of the Cornegie Mellon University from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (eyesee360's department).
Pietro Babina in his short film created with GoPano used the dramaturgy of his E.C.O. electronic cooperation online project; E.C.O. is the first research project that is studying an Augmented Reality application development for the theatre. Babina started this work in December 2010.
3more60° is an interactive video installation where the artist experiments with the 360° GoPano’s shooting system. With GoPano’s technology the audience is taking care of the action, thus surfing the film, looking for the right framing in real time, as well as always creating new narrative links.
Babina’s aim, as an artist, is to try to understand and develop a language for this system, which is still a simple illiterate technology. As already experimented in the past by this artist from Bologna, the challenge is to connect technique and poetry, inspired by an utopian spirit.
MESMER created a specific projection room for 3more60°, thus allowing the audience to use the video at 360°, with its full expressive potential.
From the 10th of October to the 1st of December 2013 3more60° short film and the installation are presented at Macro Testaccio (Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome) in the context of Festival Digitalife 2013 – Liquid Landscapes curated by Fondazione Romaeuropa.
