DOWNTOWN (NPLZ)
Living in Naples is like living in a short circuit. Naples is a futurist and surrealist city. Naples is a complex system. Naples is pulsating and rotating, it is noise and music. To understand it you have to cross it on foot every day. This video is a virtual walk through the city, from Poggioreale to Posillipo, from Scampia to Piazza Garibaldi, from Via Caracciolo to Pignasecca. Among the many European cities Naples is a glitch, unpredictable, out of the rules and any standard. This is Naples dirty noize tour.
The video was created by recording a walk in Naples using Google Street View. Video recordings and his video data and audio data were then “altered” thanks to improper use of software for editing text and audio.
