“Visual Art and Visual Communication Researches” è una rivista online dedicate ad Arte, Musica, Spettacolo, le discipline insegnate nei DAMS. Grande importanza ha il rapporto con l’immagine, da tutti i punti di vista, da quello più propriamente pittorico al visual design. Molta attenzione sarà anche dedicata a quelle forme d’arte multimediali che superano i confini dei generi tra arte, performance e ambiente sonoro.

Abbiamo esteso l’interesse verso quelle ricerche coltivate nei Dipartimenti di Scienze della Comunicazione: quelle dedicate ai rapporti tra arte e società, al cinema, alla televisione e ai mass-media e alla formazione dell’opinione pubblica.

Si tratta, nelle intenzioni del curatore, Antonio De Lisa, di una rivista-portale che presenta caratteri un po' diversi dal consueto, una specie di esperimento in linea capace di presentarsi come una specie di grande libro in divenire o anche come una micro-enciclopedia in progress.

Non ci saranno numeri progressivi, ma piuttosto sezioni tematiche con scritti liberamente scaricabili.

According to recorded turnouts, the number of people visiting museums and contemporary art exhibitions increases every year. Such booming interest for art is also connected to new projects such as the creation of museums specifically devoted to contemporary art. Many international events are also gaining great success; we quote for example Dokumenta in Kassel and the Venice Biennale; not to mention the increasingly development of trade fairs.

Our online magazine “Visual and Music Journal” is just devoted to this sector: it will play a really important role among the magazines providing updates and reflections.

Even the sector devoting to Performing Art, Music and Communications Researches is presenting interesting and important novelties.

Sonus, the publisher that promotes this project, boasts a long and well-established experience as regards music and performing art magazines.

As a matter of fact for over ten years it has been publishing the magazine “Sonus-Materials of modern and contemporary music”. See in “Links” for more details.

It will remain independent and we will keep on publishing it at least for the first period of time.

The online magazine “Visual and Music Journal”, directed by Antonio De Lisa, is on the Web from April 15, 2003.
We have chosen such means of distribution and title in order to play an active role on the Internet, a real free port of contemporary time.

The online magazine is like a micro-portal featuring articles on visual art and also researches on Performing Art, Music and Communication Researches.

The web-site consists of various sections: “Art Papers” - “Art Reviews” – “Music and Performing Art” – “Communication Researches” – “Workshops” - “Links” .

This new web-site/magazine integrates and speeds up the work of the publishing house, originally devoted to Modern and Contemporary Music.

This new magazine is therefore the starting point of an important test and such interdisciplinary confrontation may be really fruitful for both sectors as well.
