VISUAL CONVERSATION

VISUAL CONVERSATION
video art screening

March 06, 2026, 7:00 PM
C/O SuperOtium
via Santa Teresa degli Scalzi, 8 – 80135 Naples

In March, our programme dedicated to moving images continues with a new video art screening conceived as a constellation of perspectives, practices, and origins.

Visual Conversation emerges from a collaboration with Visual Container, Ex-Voto [radical public culture], Art University Bournemouth, Collezione Agovino, and nctm e l’arte, bringing together materials and visions that revolve around the relationship between human and artificial intelligences, found footage, and the shifting geographies of the image.

The evening will include:

– a selection of works from Panoramica 2025, curated by Visual Container, featuring some of the most compelling pieces of Italian video art from the past season. Artwork by Citron/Lunardi – Lorenzo Papanti – Nicola Bertoglio – Marco Gentilini & Veronica Orrù – Plurale (Leonardo Avesani/ Chiara Ventura) Atefeh Khas – Massimiliano Marianni – Gianni Barelli – Francesca Longo – Cosimo Iannunzio.

– videos produced by the artists in residence during the sixth edition of VVV-R, curated by Alessandra Arnò (VisualContainerTV) and Simona Da Pozzo (Ex-Voto [radical public culture]), with the support of Art University Bournemouth. Artwork by Tristan Robinson, Jay Hall e Bridget Phillip

– Rachele Maistrello, The Hidden Shapes. Blue Diamond, presented from the nctm e l’arte collection, curated by Gabi Scardi

– Helen Marten, Outlines on every surface / sneaker, sandal, shell-suit, presented by Collezione Agovino, curated by Francesca Blandino

The focus of the evening is on how intelligences — human and artificial — become tools for reading and representing reality. An exploration of what images include or exclude, and of how every visual narrative constructs its own geography.

The screening will also be accompanied by a wine tasting from the Agricola Bellaria winery, which has been supporting contemporary art and creativity for many years.

We look forward to welcoming you at SuperOtium to share this moment of viewing, listening, and collective encounter.
