Between 1943 and 1945, with the help of Warner Bros.’ finest, the U.S. Army produced a series of 27 propaganda cartoons depicting the calamitous adventures of Private Snafu.

Who among us does not feel the shadow of fear cast by the cowardly laws of these past years? The Scoundrel Laws terrorize not only those who might commit violence, but anyone who associates with them. They reward those who denounce their brothers and sisters, sowing distrust and ill-will. They freeze our hearts and our tongues, by punishing with prison anyone who provokes, praises, or merely seeks to understand those mad acts to which an insane society has driven a few poor souls.

Perhaps even these words, here, are enough to summon our new inquisitors.

If so, I say, let them come. I know their jail cells; their guards are my comrades and friends. Scoundrel laws, like the scoundrels who created them, must one day lose their power. It is a law of justice and nature.

A few years later, most of this rabble had lost whatever convictions drove their violence. Even deluded demagogues renounced their youthful dreams. We need no further evidence than a pamphlet from the printing offices of confusion.

About Gianluca Iadema

Gianluca Iadema

Focused on electronic music composition, sound and multimedia art, audiovisual work, performances and installations, Iadema Studio is a place for invention, creativity and innovation. Our interest relies on an artistic typology that takes into account all its expressions: from sound to architecture, from video to sculpture, including performance, light design and everything in between.

Iadema Studio is founded on conceptual and artistic experimentation. Our projects respond to the needs and resources of the contemporary world, focusing on the idea of experience as an understanding of the artwork. We design projects which investigate the structural correlations between sound and the visual environment connected to the broader philosophical concept of matter, seeking ways in which elements from different sensory fields can be perceived as a single component. Thus, leading to an art form that can no longer be categorized. New technologies are not conceived as a medium but as a reservoir from which new artistic possibilities can emerge, where the background becomes the subject.
In terms of sound, Iadema Studio focuses on the abstraction of stylistic elements from techno, glitch and pop music, concentrating on their essence, merged with contemporary artistic experimentation. Our heterogeneous portfolio includes multimedia installations and sculptures, fixed media audiovisual works, acousmatic works and live performances as well as instrumental compositions, with or without electronics.
