The exhibition brings together the two currents of the artist’s work: &lt;br/&gt;his visual work on light and his engagement with electronic music. Tonylight is indeed a prominent figure on the Italian 8bit scene,&lt;br/&gt;as well as the founder of the Milan node of the international Micromusic.net community. &lt;br/&gt;Also known as the “chiptune scene”, 8bit music revolves around cleverly transforming obsolete gaming platforms such as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or the Commodore 64 into audio synthesizers capable of producing nostalgic, lo-fi sounds, and at the same time freeing these sounds from their past and offering an original contribution to the contemporary electronic arena.&lt;br/&gt;Like 8bit music, the light in the series Space LED (2007 – 2009) is also “second hand”, in so far as it comes from various animations visualized on small LED screens manually assembled by the artist himself.&lt;br/&gt;These animations – elementary images taken from 8bit videogame cartridges such as Space Invaders – allude to the dawn of the era of digital media, in which the “first electronic sparks” struck our imagination, leaving a permanent legacy of images, aesthetics and colours that we now regard with fond nostalgia.&lt;br/&gt;Second Hand Illumination is completed by Nanonoise (2009), a video projection which is the result of a collaboration between Tonylight, for the sound, and the American artist Jeff Donaldson / Notendo, who accompanies the music with abstract animations produced by an old, modified NES.&lt;br/&gt;The exhibition opened with a musical performance by Tonylight.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In December 2009, the artist will exhibit his work in the group exhibition Mediateca Expandida. Playlist, curated by Domenico Quaranta for the LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gjon, Spain (18 December 2009 – 17 May 2010).</description>

Unique but also created with the only aim of being multiplied, the prototype is located between the piece of art and the industrial object. It is precisely this ambiguity which interests us.&lt;br/&gt;Initially “Prototipi Manzoni” will be a platform in the atrium of a mythical theatre in Milan. During the Milan Furniture Fair, from April 17-19 2008, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. a series of prototypes will be presented among conferences, discussions, tastings and meetings, as well as via this interface.&lt;br/&gt;In order to facilitate the networking of this unique series, in hardware as well as in software, the space of the atrium will be equipped with Wi-Fi and will be large enough to accomodate prototyping material of any size and kind.&lt;br/&gt;“Prototipi Manzoni” will then be the subject of a publication and a presentation in Switzerland.</description>

      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tonylight.it/tonylight/specials/Voci/2006/11/18_general__electric_files/general-filtered.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.tonylight.it/tonylight/specials/Media/general-filtered_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:567px; height:476px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;general electric personal exhibition c/o Fabio Paris &lt;br/&gt;Brescia dal 18 novembre 2006 - 13 gennaio 2007&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Alla sua prima mostra personale, Antonio Cavadini (Tonylight) è un artista che ha eletto la fluidità a suo principale strumento espressivo. Il suo lavoro si concentra sulla corrente elettrica, il più instabile e fluido dei media, e sui suoi prodotti più immateriali, il suono e la luce. L'elettricità non lo interessa come strumento, come spina da attaccare o interruttore da accendere per far funzionare l'installazione; ma come veicolo di contenuto proprio, e di una propria, instabile poetica. Perfettamente a suo agio fra cavi, LED e chip, Tonylight manipola il flusso di corrente a livello elementare, ne conosce ogni sobbalzo e ogni interferenza; nello stesso tempo, ne intuisce la natura liquida, di aggregato provvisorio di una energia che già esiste in natura e che attende solo di essere liberata: e la libera per noi, sotto forma di luce e di suono.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Con l'espressione General Electric, che dà il titolo tanto alla mostra quanto all'installazione più imponente in essa proposta, Tonylight allude proprio a questo. Una collana di LED a luce bianca corre su una serie di tre tralicci da cantiere, collegata a una centralina altrettanto provvisoria incastonata in un angolo della galleria. Il variare della luce è determinato dalla presenza di alcuni sensori che regolano il flusso di corrente sulla base del numero di persone presenti nello spazio. In questo modo, Tonylight dà vita a una metafora visiva che da un lato rende visibili i flussi di energia che attraversano uno spazio – quello urbano – ormai totalmente elettrificato; dall'altro allude al ciclo dell'elettricità, che dalla natura proviene e alla natura ritorna, facendola interagire con il nostro corpo e la nostra energia.&lt;br/&gt;Eppure questo flusso, cui ci siamo tanto abituati da darlo quasi per scontato, è instabile e provvisorio, come la maggior parte dei servizi primari su cui si fonda la nostra società. Ed ecco che questo traliccio provvisorio diventa una metafora del fragile equilibrio del nostro presente, che una guerra, un attentato, un disastro naturale o anche solo un banale incidente possono spezzare da un momento all'altro.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Space LED (2006) è invece un piccolo monitor prodotto manualmente dall'artista assemblando, con estrema pazienza, 192 LED blu. Sullo schermo – controllato da un vecchio 386 portatile - vengono visualizzate una serie di immagini elementari pescate dalle cartucce dei videogame dell'era 8bit, come ad esempio Space Invaders. Qui l'allusione è a una fase aurorale dei media digitali, quella in cui i “primi lampi elettronici” sono arrivati a colpire la nostra fantasia, imprimendovi per sempre immagini, estetiche e colori cui oggi ci volgiamo con nostalgia. D'altra parte, è proprio dai videogame che Tonylight, e con lui molti altri artisti contemporanei, hanno tratto quell'amore per l'elettronica amatoriale e la manipolazione dei dispositivi elettronici che condiziona in maniera inconfondibile il loro lavoro.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;La mostra è completata da Tecnologia Maya, (2005), in cui una serie di LED colorati corre, con ritmo ascensionale, lungo i pioli di una piccola scala installata in un angolo della galleria, appena sotto il soffitto: una piccola, gioiosa metafora di leggerezza, che la collocazione e la simbologia della scala arricchiscono di echi spirituali.</description>

      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tonylight.it/tonylight/specials/Voci/2005/5/21_solaraudiobag8bit_on_the_road_files/valigia-audio_1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.tonylight.it/tonylight/specials/Media/valigia-audio_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:600px; height:775px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Once upon a time there was the Gameboy. Small and easy to handle, an instrument for nomadic fun that gives our minds the fantasy world of plumbing from Super Mario while our bodies moved about the city. &lt;br/&gt;The Gameboy is still here today: even despite the design mock up that restyled the object itself, its hard for Gameboy to marvel the modern day electronic nomads that go from Cell phone to Bluetooth to the ever so stylish I-pod. &lt;br/&gt;And if many still try to play it, a compact group of passionate Gameboy users has transformed it into a musical instrument, not just an object to play but really to PLAY! &lt;br/&gt;Taking a vast array of acute and minimal sounds.&lt;br/&gt;It's called; Micromusic, and in a few years time it has earned itself a little corner in clubs all across the world. Despite this, the poor little Gameboy misses the life on the road.&lt;br/&gt;For this reason Tonylight, who - before he played music on his Gameboy he played it's games - didn't have the heart to give its powers to the night, taking it away from the street and sun. &lt;br/&gt;More than a portable amplifier, the Solar Audio Bag is a way of life. Half way between the logic of the Transformers and the ethics of &quot;do it yourself&quot;, the Bag is a simple trolley that transforms itself into a powerful means of street music. &lt;br/&gt;It's wheels restores the portability to the Gameboy and it's freedom is amplified by a solar panel, giving it that ecological edge.&lt;br/&gt;It's too cheap to feel fake, it's all there, all you have to do is pull a lever, adjust the volume and adjust the gain to give the Gameboy's electric voice back to the sound context of the street. &lt;br/&gt;Bringing two worlds together, once again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;C'era una volta il Gameboy. Piccolo e maneggevole, era uno strumento di intrattenimento nomade, che consentiva di scorrazzare per il mondo incantato dell'idraulico Super Mario mentre il nostro corpo andava alla deriva per le strade della città. Oggi il Gameboy c'è ancora: ma nonostante il maquillage che ne ha svecchiato il design, fatica a reggere il confronto i nuovi pupilli del nomadismo elettronico, dai cellulari Bluetooth allo stilosissimo iPod. Se molti ancora si ostinano a giocarvi, un gruppo compatto di appassionati si è divertito a trasformarlo in uno strumento musicale, e a strappargli una gamma ristretta di suoni acidi e minimali. Si chiama Micromusic, e nel giro di pochi anni ha guadagnato al Gameboy un angolino nei club di mezzo mondo.&lt;br/&gt;Ma il povero piccolo ha nostalgia della strada. Per questo Tonylight, che prima di suonarlo col suo Gameboy ci giocava, non ha avuto cuore di relegarlo a un'esistenza notturna, sottraendolo al sole e alla strada.&lt;br/&gt;Più che uno strumento di amplificazione portatile, la Solar Audio Bag è una filosofia di vita. A metà strada tra la logica dei Transformer e l'etica del “do it yourself”, la Bag è un semplice trolley che si trasforma all'occorrenza in un mezzo potente per fare musica in strada. Le sue rotelle restituiscono allo strumento la sua libertà, mentre il piccolo pannello solare gli dà un'aria simpaticamente ecologista, troppo cheap perché appaia ostentata. È tutto lì: basterà azionare una leva, modulare il volume e regolare il gain per restituire la voce elettrica del Gameboy all’universo sonoro della strada. E per tornare a scorazzare fra due mondi.&lt;br/&gt;</description>
