Abstract

Starting from Opera Viva by Alessandro Bulgini (myhomegallery.org), which has become an emblematic example of relational art that unites social networks, performance and visual production, the article – through the dialogue between Bulgini himself and the philosopher and art critic Roberto Mastroianni – proposes to investigate the connection between performative, imaginary and social network practices in the building of a community space able to hold together virtuality and a socio-political dimension.
