Monotono is an audiovisual duo by Valentina Besegher and Alessandro Massobrio with the aim to explore, through electronic media and computers and into free and narrative style, the physical part of sound and light as the material weft of our cognitive process and of the personal idea of consciousness that we are building into space and time. Intention and meant, sense and will, become ulterior regarding conscience just in the same time they come to it, leaving emerge the bodily and material world.

Monotono is a live performance using 8mm movies and computer-processed guitar: a 40 minutes path across the profiles of daily objects or through the wide spaces of nature where it emerges, from an introspective and lyric background, the border that both separates and units the natural and the artificial, origins and culture, time and history.
Monotono has been also projected like a single channel video installation.
