Dissonanze, the festival that experiments with the relationship between creativity and technology whilst researching the unusual connections between sight and sound, is at its 6th edition. As well as famous artists and successful art works, the festival presents emerging artists, previews, original collaborations and site specific productions, commissioned by Dissonanze for the different and unusual spaces that host the event. Between the "emerging artists", Dissonanze introduces for the first time in Italy the United Visual Artists. UVA., that represents UK at this year's festival, consists of three individuals: Chris Bird, Matt Clark and Ash Nehru, united by their passion for music and collective talents for creating innovative digital art. Fusing ideas and concepts in the fast-moving world of video and visual art, and harnessing the power, logic and maths of computing, UVA are carving out a special niche for themselves. Their diverse backgrounds, interests and specialist areas create a unique synergy and working relationship in the world of live visuals. In the past they have worked for music industry names like U2, Massive Attack and Pet Shop Boys, as well as a range of high profile commercial clients.
