BitNet01 is a multidisciplinary artistic collective that blends visual art and electronic music, organizing festivals as spaces for radical experimentation. At the core of our philosophy is the emphasis on the collective dimension over individualism, where the identity of the individual dissolves to give rise to a network of fluid and unpredictable connections, with each participant contributing to the creation of a shared artistic ecosystem.
Inspired by the concepts of intra-action and rhizome, we reject hierarchical and linear structures of artistic expression. Drawing on the theories of Deleuze and Guattari, we perceive ourselves as a rhizome: an open, non-centered system without a fixed origin, where every point is connected to every other. For us, art is not a product but a process in constant transformation, where every element involved participates in the co-creation of meaning, fostering emergent and distributed creativity.
We operate within a framework of sonic experimentation that ranges from electroacoustic music, rooted in academic research, to ambient and IDM, and extends to immersive art installations and rave culture, where sound, space, and body interact synergistically. Our foundational pillars include multimedia installations, live audiovisual performances, knowledge-sharing through educational workshops, and the organization of festivals to foster encounters and shared experiences, creating an inclusive and stimulating environment.
We adopt a workshop-based approach that prioritizes collective experimentation and shared learning. Through workshops and labs, we promote a context where artists and participants actively collaborate, overcoming the traditional separation between creator and audience. This method encourages the emergence of interdisciplinary practices and the co-creation of works, reflecting the vision of art as a dynamic and participatory phenomenon.
Each festival becomes a relational device, where barriers dissolve and identities blend, generating new paths of engagement and interpretation. The artwork is no longer a closed entity but an emergent phenomenon, the result of multiple connections between beings, spaces, and sounds, capable of continuously redefining its meaning.
BitNet01 promotes an artistic approach that views art as an act of collective and transformative exploration, capable of stimulating critical, political, and philosophical reflections. We recognize the importance of collectively signing the works produced, escaping capitalist individualism while valuing individual specificities and skills within the creative process. The goal is to rethink the modes of creation and engagement through experiences that challenge conventions and open new shared perspectives, in a continuous process of rewriting and mutual discovery.
