All this flanked by meetings with the artists, in conversation with international critics and curators such as Sophie Lauwers, Alessandra Mammì, Vittoria Matarrese, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi and Davide Quadrio and organized in collaboration with the Academia Belgica and the American Academy in Rome.

A collage of new works for the city of Rome, retracing the history of this artistic idiom which from pure documentation has become an expressive force. Videoart Week is part of Videocittàthe Festival of Vision conceived by Francesco Rutelli, president of ANICA. A season of cultural events programmed in Rome and bound by the fil rouge of the audio-visual medium and the diverse disciplines and expressive form of images in movement.
