Traveling around the world does not start and does not end
at home. In between there is a planet which is a window into the
world. In 365 megabytes with software around the world.
In the movie Koyaanisqatsi
by Godfrey Reggio (1982) the conflict between civilization and
technology, on one side, and the nature on the other side, is
represented by a reach succession of images. This conflict, thanks
to the sequence of images, the rhythm of the editing, but especially
the power of Philip Glass' music, generates a tension that leads
at the end to an almost apocalyptic clash.
Satellite Night Fever is inspired by this formal model and to
the method adopted by Reggio of creating dialectic between images
capable of producing feelings.
But in this work the dichotomy civilization/technology vs. nature
is overtaken in order to face what it seems to be the more actual
core of the issue: the relation civilization-new technologies.
