The video "Urban Sounds from The Factory City", has been made possible thanks to some prints of Ilva (the notorious industrial complex), which were stolen with the well-known virtual globe program Google Earth, and then digitally reworked. Then the same images have been entered in a freeware to be converted into indefinite sound samples thatll do as a layer of a more elaborate electronic piece that works with the visuals in a synesthetic connection.
This connection is made stronger by the lecture of some passages from Albert Camus The Plague, read by Amy Denio, a known name in the american independent culture. Multi-instrumentalist and polyglot singer, with an incredibly immense and multifaceted carreer, since the 80 with her own tapelabel Spoot Music.

A mix of techniques, fields and allusions, from net-art, here proposed in physical and spatial boundaries, to visual art, to sound design.
The intent of "Urban Sounds from The Factory City" is to point up on the thorny issue of heavy industialisation and on the huge turmoils that it can bring, but also on the distresses and stimuluses that this plague can inoculate in the minds of someone that tries an uncritical reading of the context... precisely, an artistic reading.
ITALIANO
Suoni Urbani dalla Città Fabbrica
Questo video è un estratto della videoinstallazione "Suoni Urbani dalla Città Fabbrica" di Francesco Giannico.Le immagini che compongono il video sono istantanee dellIlva di Taranto estrapolate da google earth, il noto software di visualizzazione satellitare, ed editate con tecnica digitale.Grazie ad un software freeware i files delle immagini sono stati convertiti in campioni sonori indefiniti (scricchiolii, crepitii etc...) andando a costituire il tappeto sonoro di un brano elettroacustico più complesso. Il video ripropone le immagini in questione assieme allaudio di cui sopra in modo da creare un ideale legame sinestetico tra ciò che si vede e ciò che si ascolta. Tale rapporto è reso ancor più stretto dalla lettura di alcuni stralci da "La Peste" di A.Camus in lingua inglese e recitati, per gentile concessione, da Amy Denio, storico personaggio dell'indie americano cresciuta tra Detroit e Seattle. L'Ilva come la Peste,la malattia come normalità.
