Da Febbraio ad Ottobre 2012 quindici artisti, tra danzatori e artisti visivi, residenti in diversi paesi del mondo, hanno condiviso un percorso di ricerca e produzione sul tema: Tornare a Casa //La ricerca della propria natura attraverso le Eredità. Ogni artista, dal luogo in cui si trovava e secondo la propria personale strategia, ha lavorato ad un’opera/performance sul tema del progetto. Ciascuno ha agito in maniera autonoma rispetto al network, avendo a disposizione una piattaforma internet in cui poter confrontare e contaminare la propria ricerca con quella degli altri. I percorsi individuali si sono fusi andando a creare un comune magma ispirativo costituito da foto, video, suoni, schizzi, testi propri e di terzi, annotazioni, riflessioni, riferimenti, domande e quant’altro per confrontarsi e contaminarsi. Dall’agorà virtuale (la piattaforma che è ad uso esclusivo dei membri del progetto) sono stati selezionati testi e materiali multimediali poi, pubblicati sul blog: http://www.comingbackhome.net (non più attivo). Sul blog gli utenti del web hanno potuto osservare gli sviluppi dei processi creativi.
Il 6 Ottobre 2012 gli artisti si sono incontrati per la prima volta dal vivo, in occasione di un evento creato ad hoc presso il Teatro della Tosse e hanno mostrato le proprie produzioni inedite: ciò che il pubblico ha visto nascere, crescere e trasformarsi sul web, è stato finalmente messo in scena!

This project aims to involve contemporary internet and multimedia technologies in order to create virtual places for artistic research. We have designed an online space that can be used like a travel journal, shared by a small community of artists. Our aim is that this space, which will welcome numerous thoughts and imaginations, will become the warm greenhouse where honest artistic acts will be able to grow.
During Spring and Summer 2012, a circle of artists including dancers, visual artists, musicians, and sound artists, living in different places in the world, will share a process of research and production on the subject: Coming Back Home The search for nature through heredity
The group – made up of a dozen or so artists/ensembles, who have been invited to participate because of their talent and sensitivity towards creative research – will be connected through an online environment.
Each single author will live their own creative act independently with respect to their geographic context and personal will of artistic expression, but will have a virtual agora at their disposal, where they will be able to participate in a collective dialogue on and around the subject. The online platform, only accessible to the artist participants, will be the space where the vastly different interpretations of the research subject will be shared, a place where artists will be able to exchange ideas that come from their own biographical experiences and their research processes, styles and desires…
The individual processes will merge and move towards the creation of a common inspirational magma made up of photos, videos, sounds, sketches, texts written by the artist or by others, notes, thoughts, references, questions, and more, in order to find new ways to share and exchange.
The platform will also provide the opportunity to observe both the collective and individual creative processes in their chronological development, thus creating a precious archive.
The artists will also be able to utilize a blog that is open to the public, where they will be able to share a selection of the material they have created. This space will become a window that will show the outside world what is happening during the project’s development. The blog will be a space for meeting and exchanging ideas with a participating audience. The web users will thus be able to follow the developments of the creative processes and contribute with their comments.
The works created throughout the project will be shown within a performance exhibition that will take place in Genoa, Italy in Fall 2012. This event will aim to further dialogue among the different productions, in order to be able to observe the interweaving of approaches, styles, cultures, and poetry generated in the period of shared creative processes.
The performance exhibition will be established as an event that can be recreated in other festivals, both in Italy and around the world.
Given the interesting perspectives for study that the project offers for its cultural, artistic and anthropological potential, the project anticipates: a collaboration with a number of Italian Universities, the creation of an online archive and a publication of the project.
The 2012 edition of Tornare a Casa//Coming Back Home is being planned as the first step of a multi-year project.
