SPIME.IM
<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>
With projects ranging from immersive installations to studio albums, SPIME.IM sound borders on industrial, IDM and a strong use of synthesizers and other electronics in audio design, while giving free rein to the visual part with original images and internet footage. The objective is to create broad and contradictory philosophical conversations around the themes that haunt the minds of Davide Tomat, Gabriele Ottino, Matteo Marson and Marco Casolati, the artists who shape SPIME.IM and its transmedia reflections on aesthetics, identity, corporality and the absurd. that contemporary humanity faces.
SPIME.IM has brought installations and live adaptations of their albums to specialized avant-garde venues such as Lunchmeat, L.E.V. and Club to Club. At Sonar+D, they also presented the details of Remidi T8, a portable midi controller customized by the collective as part of one of their essential practices: transforming what reality and technology put within our reach. At MUTEK MX they will present the live version of their album Gray Line (-OUS, 2023), a powerful and exciting audiovisual performance in which the collective explores the existential nuances beyond black and white, to confront us with what they consider It is possible from an infinite gray scale.

SPIME.IM will present, in what will be their first time in Barcelona, and with the support of Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Barcellona, a performance that delves into themes related to contemporary issues with raw sincerity, namely the inevitability of climate change and humanity’s impact on the earth. Reflecting on our exposure to and assimilation of today’s continuous media bombing, SPIME.IM attempts to describe the emotional place in which we are trapped and the "era of the absurd" we are living in, also named "the wrong timeline".
