From Oral Poetry to Tridimensional Poetry
Memory defines human existence both individually and collectively: it is necessary for the evolution of the person and society. The loss of memory leads to the physical and intellectual death of identity. In order to avoid and exorcise existential oblivion, mankind has developed systems to pass on memory and preserve it. One of the oldest of these is poetry that, thanks to its rhythm and rhyme, makes the precise memorizing of a text easier. Thus it effectively communicates the deeds of heroes as well as the prayers, ideals and sentiments that characterize human beings and their culture. Society, thanks also to the heritage of knowledge that has been passed down, continues to evolve and change rapidly: the new technologies transform art, modifying the codes of language and above all the inclusion and typology of the data that constitutes the collective memory. In the era of motion pictures poetry loses some of its evocative effect and its function for transmission. The visual memory is predominant because the brain assimilates information without making the effort of concentrating and decoding input, for example from the sound to the word or from the sign to the word.

Video Ergo Sum: Video as Symbolic Form
From cinema to TV, from PC to iPhone, from videogames to the displays disseminated across the urban space, today everything is video. It form a whirl of images flowing in a single visual stream, an unstoppable and fluid visual continuum. Therefore, by explicitly hinting at Erwin Panofsky’s essay of 1927, in this text I try to understand if it is possible to develop a discourse on the situation of contemporary visual culture that echoes the one proposed by the German art historian. The following arguments try to prove that it is indeed possible by referring to the relations currently binding art, aesthetics and the new media, and in particular to the series of interdisciplinary studies developed by North-American cultural studies.
