　　比安科·瓦兰特录像作品中的电子图像仿佛是一种大脑的延伸、身体的非物质化的可能性。这两位艺术家所制作的记忆性的图像极富暗示性、十分迷人，有时候很放松，更多的时候是疏远的、迷幻的和妄想式的，它们在流动，好像沸腾的无法停止的岩浆完全淹没了剩下的物质和具象的残骸。心脏、精神和视觉上的时断时续，他们的图像说出了我们的现在、过去和未来的感觉。他们极少主义式的"电子视觉"，经常是单色的，将我们的感官带回到最基本的状态。比安科-瓦兰特使用技术的方式从来都不是巴洛克式的装饰性或者冗余的，他们总是很小心的克制。文本总是处于控制中，没有无用的视觉能量和意义的分散。这种极少主义哲学是和所谓"后有机"（post-organic）美学相反的，后者认为身体是机器，认为行为是一种狂欢和"新原始"（neo-primitive）仪式。 通过看他们的作品，在实验性先锋影片出现80年后的今天，我们仿佛第一次看到运动-抽象作品般新奇。他们的作品不是天真的科技古典主义，不是真正的?#36139;困?#12290;虽然比安科-瓦兰特用低清晰度的基本视觉处理方式，但却创造了真正优秀的图像。 他们在作品中抓住了电子图像消亡、变化、虚拟、变形和最多的神经机能的本质。录像是一种彻底的精神过程。从身体中得到自由，意味着让它重生。使用科技的手段不是说填充我们的?#32905;体的机器?#65292;而通过与梦有相同的本质的图像，来减轻身体让思想和视觉更纯粹。总之，思想是唯一可能的现实（美学上也是）。

　　The electronic image constitutes in Bianco-Valente videos a kind of cerebral extension, the possibility of a bodily dematerialization. Suggestive and fascinating, sometimes relaxing, more often alienating, psychedelic and obsessive, the mnemonic images produced by this two artists flow like magma, boil similar to unstoppable lava that overwhelms the last bodily and figurative debris. Intermittences of the heart, of the mind and of the vision, their images speak to our present, past and future senses. The minimalism of their 　lectrovisions? often monochrome, takes us to level zero of sensorial perception. The way in which Bianco-Valente use technology is never baroque or redundant but always carefully controlled. The content is in restraining, without useless dispersions of visual energy and meaning. This philosophy of the essential is opposed to the spreading aesthetics of the so-called post-organic, still too close to the concept of body as machine and to the performance as a carnival and 　eo-primitive?ritual. By seeing their works, we get the impression to discover for the first time the kinetic-abstract images 80 years later the experiments of the vanguard cinema. But theirs is never an ingenuous technological classicism, never really oor? Even though Bianco-Valente deal with the low resolution of the basic visual process, they create images formally perfect. They extrapolate from the electronic image its evanescence, its dynamism, its virtual, metamorphic and above all its neurotic nature. Video is a thoroughly mental process. To get free from the concept of body as substance means to regenerate it. It does not mean using technological medium to load even more our lesh machine? but reducing body to pure thinking or seeing through images that have the same essence of dreams. In the end, thought is the only possible reality (aesthetically too).
