Opera Viva by Alessandro Bulgini. The (relational) art at the time of social networks

Abstract

Starting from Opera Viva by Alessandro Bulgini (myhomegallery.org), which has become an emblematic example of relational art that unites social networks, performance and visual production, the article – through the dialogue between Bulgini himself and the philosopher and art critic Roberto Mastroianni – proposes to investigate the connection between performative, imaginary and social network practices in the building of a community space able to hold together virtuality and a socio-political dimension.
