Hannah Arendt, a German philosopher, said that when people  come together and talk, they create a "space of appearance" of tremendous active  power in the public realm. This force is born from the human ability to agree  with others on the need to act in concert. Hence, these spaces of appearance are  spaces of communication, where citizens' interests, needs and strategies are  shared. This intention can be evaluated as a way to posit a direct connection  between the designers selected from history and the
reestablished aesthetics. In  this scenario, the introduction of the common acknowledgement serves to ground  the narrative in the artist's intention in such a way that it makes the intimate  bond between its presence and its referencing serve as an unassailable  foundation for the projects being presented. And despite the use of different  methods and approaches, this new generation all share qualities tha are often  subordinated to this underlying  narrative. Stefano  Mitrione, one of Italian-American's more controversial InterMedia Artist, brings  a diversity of specific individual determinations, which appear to take place in  a particular temporal and spatial relationship, to his work. Stefano
Mitrione,  and its patent subjectivism, is anchored in the significant role that the media  plays in constructing and manipulating reality. As a result, he uses images of  artistic events that appear in daily digestive methodologies such as the Web,  recapturing those images in a totally different frame. In an age when we can  effortlessly search informations at any given moment, who needs an old-fashioned  memory? Cameras and lenses abound everywere - from surveillance equipment in  banks to surreptitiously hidden devices in elevators. It seems that we no longer  need to bother our brains to catalogue any of the events in our lives - the  analog human memory is quickly becoming supplanted by technologically mediated  data played back on the Web. The decady of grand narratives and ideologies, the  loss of a meaningful social perspective, the
impossibility of conceiving that  the totality of the world is accompanied by an enormous concentration of  fragmentary identities, and the internationalization and expansion of meaning  enshrined in an unfathomable multitude of "small historicizations" of  non-narrative constructs: Stefano Mitrione goes through these notions and brings  out visual aspects of the activities from his surrounding. Stefano Mitrione's  observations and artworks undoubtedly offer a window into an explosive  combination of philosophical and political thoughts, and into the multilayered  ways in which these inform his project praxis.
