Visions from the Future is dedicated to video makers and audio-video researchers. It was born inside Cronosfera Festival as a video contest, a venture devoted to visions, researches and Space-Time perceptions amongst the new generations, and although remaining inside Cronosfera Festival, keeping its trail-blazing spirit, broadens and presents itself separately as a festival dedicated to video, with projections, video installations and evenings of audio video live performances. Visions from the Future aims to be an international window for works realized with the new media technology, starting from Video, declined in all its meanings and modes. A festival that fuses cinema, the audio-visual world and new technologies, conjugating science and art. A festival that gives place to digital culture, to interactive systems for artistic applications and to audio-visual performances. Today more than ever the reflection on personal and collective future, Science and Science Fiction have shifted from a sociological to a personal and daily context, in a plot of past, present and future more and more intriguing. The Artistic expression, ever since, anticipates and expresses thoughts, anxieties, individual and collective feelings. Visions from the Future dedicates the filmic imagery to the future, and investigates expressive tools of special topicality, proposing what is of human interest in the world of the new media.

Cronosfera is a project about arts, sciences, science-fiction and sound visions, explored through the human perception of space-time and imagination. Today the project goes on and Visions from the Future developes in to an International festival of Sound Visions. Cronosfera overlooks imagery and perception of the Future with a video contest [Visions from the Future], contemporary art exhibitions and round-tables moderated by young researchers and scientific divulgation experts. A four-dimensional overview between art and science,from which we are going to discover how much the categories of past, present and future are in steady relationship of mutual exchange,tribute, evolution and ispiration. Artists, videomakers, researchers, scientific divulgation experts are going to confront each other about the Visions to, from e for the Future, in an eclectic and dynamic cultural space. Guests and visitors find themselves sunk in a spherical space and time, wrapped up by words, images, sounds and visions (round tables, art exhibition, video-contest screenigs, concerts and live media) - in which, suspended over the top of a hill, between medieval buildings and the astronomical observatory, stone and latest technologies, we can be fully aware of the vital role of science and art in our living the present.
The Cronosfera project started in 2008 with the first edition of the festival in Cavatore (Al) Italy.
Cronosfera Project are currently: multimedia artist Luisa Mizzoni aka luxi lu, sound artist Francesca Mizzoni aka Infrason and visual artist
Emilio Corti.
