In 'last two years a new generation of American and European artists have coined a brand new visual language that, even through the massive use of new technologies, is both a reflection on the past, manipulation of the concept of memory, and meditation on the mystery aspects of totem- era (the 80s and 90s decades) perceived as the source and principle today's informational society.

The roots of the movement lie in the pioneering work of such collective Forcefield and Paper Rad, and the U.S. in early 2000 rediscovered the value of formal low fidelity (lo-fi), seasoned with quotations here and pop never slumbering attitude "off".

Like their bigger brothers, the new representatives are lo-fi aesthetic expression of an underground that is not limited to only one language video, but that media likes to flirt with various settings: music, visual arts, artifacts do -it-yourself, and performance. This undergrowth, the artists collected in "Post TV - Lo-Fi for the Eyes "is the latest incarnation and life. Together, they form one of the most dynamic and influential network in recent years have come out of their hands records, self-produced tapes, craft publications, installations, and even heads of clothing. But it is especially in movies, video clips non-conventional, and an endless collection of short video from the content that breaks the most alienating the idea of \u200b\u200b"low-fi for the eyes, for a mixture that combines art, sounds, TV archives and especially the Internet.

In fact, by today's authentic leaders YouTube Generation, the artists in "Post TV - Lo-Fi for the Eyes" Investors Network (Social newtorks, websites) of multiple roles: the same texture image on line, with its awkward pixel and its unintended glitch by mistake turns into a real beauty figure, as if to underline and amplify the concept of low fidelity, the world wide web is also the privileged means for the dissemination and sharing of their materials, thus acquiring a markedly "Community" and finally, the network is interpreted as a vast reservoir of experience and past, a sort of infinite archive from which to draw content, suggestions and inspiration.

The non-random use of words and imagery borrowed from the recent past, played an ambiguous turn on the cutting-induced nostalgia. The 80s and 90s become mythological ages to be investigated with a look somewhere between dream and hallucination Archaeology: unlike the typical postmodern pastiche, recoveries, summonses and winks are not solved "cold "but blunders through seemingly spontaneous, as coming from an atavistic shared memory.

The video medium, in its arise in the territory that lies between the TV (the past) experience computer (this) is therefore of container suspended between contrasting shapes, so as to further confuse the waters: what looks like video art is actually a music video for weird; what looks like an old tourist spot is actually a fake commercial psychedelic. But above all, the work assumed by the artists of "Post TV - Lo-fi for the Eyes" invites you to rethink a perception of moving from that home becomes horizontal, and indistinct nebula: from expression of a general container and mass, here that this becomes a vehicle that - thanks to modern technologies - can potentially get from anyone to anywhere, in a sort of global zapping is also affirmation of free creativity.

to succeed is a flow through the digital device, alloy visual worlds sometimes irreconcilable - hallucinogen found footage, cult films, movies and television themes - as well as forms of enjoyment that can go from the vision on the big screen monitor. The same versatility of the technology with which the works in question are produced, resulting in adaptability of materials susceptible to a variety of contexts. And it is a malleability that reverberates in ways often instinctive and irrational, the result of an appropriation of free tools both new and obsolete, for once freed from any kind of tax technical, stylistic or production.

of this course, which over the years has assumed the characteristics of a real scene
