Alexander Iezzi

experimenteel

Most recently, Iezzi has been putting stray plush animals in uncomfortable situations, often digitally manipulating these grotesque images and videos to enter the realm of the surreal (or 90s rave flyer). Sonically, the artist has repurposed failed bids to the Eurovision Song Contest: they released the album EUROVISION 2020 last May, when the international TV spectacle was supposed to take place in Rotterdam before its ultimate cancelation. In premiering the track »Netherlands – Take a Wise Decision,« AQNB described its looped strings and cut-up vocals as »relentless in their forward momentum, resurrecting the feverish anti-pop of our current and crumbling reality.«

    • »Otherkin – A Social Software« is a role-played experimental radio performance that takes place through the lens of a fiction theory narrative centered around the idea of Otherkin and the notion of companion species – human beings entangled with other animals, organisms, landscapes, and technologies. The work brings up questions of new animism, translocality, and how to leave behind the notion of human exceptionalism. Through the language of Otherkin, the piece opens the door to a collective

    • ‘Utopiates: The Freedom Cell’ is a real game play which features thematics of understanding acid as a primal technology. The work used concentrated LSD to open up a collective experience of artificially induced virtual reality, exploring the collective mind made neurocosmic through social intelligence, technological extensions and radical holographic imagineering. The RGP was created by Omsk Social Club and the sonic recording cut up and sampled by Alexander Iezzi.

    • Blanche DuBois of Tennessee Williams’ pen is conveyed as socially snobbish and sexually proprietary; a fading and fallen belle of the former Southern aristocracy. Her sister’s working class husband Stanley Kowalski attempts to ‘unmask’ Blanche through his actions. Her mental health deteriorates, and at the close of the play, when taken to a mental institution by a ‘doctor’, she speaks her final line: ‘Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers’. Speculation abounds on
