Inde Est is the title of the artistic contribution presented by cinema critic and situationist theorist Enrico Ghezzi at the ancient Church of San Ludovico in Venice for the third Internet Pavilion: The Unconnected (2013). Inspired by the Latin phrase fugit hora, hoc quod loquor inde est [time flees, and what I am saying already belongs to it] from Persius’s fifth Satire, Ghezzi’s durational performance consisted in a 8-hour mute speech that evoked the out-of-sync effect typical of his monologues for Fuori Orario [after hours], a radical overnight broadcast on avant-garde cinema airing on the Italian national TV since 1988. Miltos Manetas celebrates this cult figure of Italian television, filming him within the space of the Internet Pavilion. His portrait takes the form of a BlackBerry Painting, a simultaneous act of recording and painting that has accompanied Manetas’s practice since his early use of smartphones.

1973
A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
