The Cables series
Messages that run along the weave of cables and lines, contributing to the wiring of telematic networks, humanity’s new nervous system. A current topic that is re-elaborated, taken apart and reassembled through the eyes of an artist who needs to reckon with his desires and his obligations each day. A latent bipolarity between who you are and who you’d like to be, a general condition of those who want to make art in Italy.

Intergalactic (with Krayon)
Over the last 10 years, Ironmould has been working on a parallel project, which was born out of the Littleworld compositions: Cables . A fully personal view of the world of computers, technology and of the network that originates from his personal connection to these elements.
A process that is both meditative and freeing, which aims at exorcising the technological world that is represented, through the tangles of cables. A mantra to unplug the computer world and yet, at the same time, a very personal and recognizable way of representing it.
A personal representation that gives way to broader reflection. Nowadays, we’re all suspended in the thick weave of cables, tied and connected 24/7, hyperconnected, overconnected, squeezed into a more and more claustrophobic living space, that is updated every microsecond.
The claustrophobic compositions of cables visually narrate an interruption, a tear in everyday life, the exact moment in which reality cleared the way for digital. A warning, that shows the violence with which we were deprived of our humanity and that moment in which, each day, our gaze is torn away from reality to focus on virtual dimensions. An invitation to not lose contact with the places we inhabit and the people we interface with, to connect with the real world.
