ABOUT ...

Camillo is a multidimensional project started in 1998 as a set of parallel manifestations, the central being a theatre performance Camillo – Memo 1.0: Construzione del theatro at Piccolo Theatre in Milan. The performance was folllowed by an exhibition of 3D graphics (London, Manchester, Triest), a web project Theatre of Memory of the future and an action/ instalation The Cabinet of memories (Ljubljana, Maribor, Tiest, Zagreb, budapest, Bologna), Camillo project continues in 2000 with urban spectacle Drive in Camillo.

The Camillo project originates in the ideas of the rediscovered Renaissance genius, philosopher, theoretician of the art of memory, herald of the installation language in modern art and the anticipator of the Internet, Giulio Camillo (1480 – 1544). His basic project, Theatre of Memory, was one of the first experiments in network interactive communication. Theatre of Memory was designed as a place where all the knowledge of the Universum would be available. A constantly updated memory machine with time transgression.
