Trascendenze Artificiali (Artificial Transcendences) modifies and reconfigures the body through a fusion of sound, movement and technology, exploring new expressive possibilities and offering a personal vision of the human experience.
The performance comes from the workshop directed by Cecilia Lentini and set in the dark sound world of Semionauta.
In the previous eight days, the two artists worked with the specificities of the participants in the spaces of the Manifattura Tabacchi.

Kasei Archive, a project that works in search of a common language between the sound and sartorial avant-garde, contributes to the performance by making its collection available to the artists to give new life to garments.

Cecilia Lentini, performance artist, vocalist, and director, explores the combination of cultural  references and a host of different artistic practices. Her works seek dialogues between organic  and technological elements, using music, voices, bodies, and electronic devices to create intense  sensory environments. Her practice stands out for collaboration with artists from different  disciplines, creating a space of collision where poetics and approaches mutually influence each  other.

Semionauta, one of the numerous pseudonyms of Giordano Fiacchini, is an artist, musician, and  researcher in the field of multimedia. Over the past decade, he has explored multiple approaches  to sound composition, ranging from UK Bass Music to abstract experiments in Sound Design and  Noise Music. His artistic practice is multifaceted and aimed at offering intense multi-sensory  experiences, which brought him to delve deep into the hybridization of organic matter and self built technology.
