8/12 Stefano Riboli
Stefano Riboli is the eighth artist in our Mountains at (He)Art project. With his work Cielo-cober, he has interpreted for us the Cardamine Blue model, our trekking poles with a second life plastic grip.
“Cielo-cober, 2023 is the work I created for Cober70 project”
Staying true to his production style, Stefano decided to use a light blue colour for the background to capture the vision of clear skies, typical of a day in the mountains. Superimposed on this is the 3D wireframe of Cober trekking poles, the point of inspiration for the production of his work. The thin, stylised lines criss-cross, hiding the decisive stroke of the poles and thus creating a fusion of nature and artifice, of natural gradations and precise, mechanical marks.
Skies
The work is born from a visual research generated inside the digital word. Experiences addressed as natural, such as fatho- ming a sunrise or sunset, have been happening in video games since the beginning of their existen- ce, creating a connection between real and virtual experiences. At the same time thou, the realistic experience coexists inside the videogame with unusual errors like bugs or glitches. This sensorial paradox is explicit in the artworks through the layering of the different hues of the sky and the lining of structures and objects taken from 3D files.
