Alberto Biasi in 1970
«Witnessing movement in something static, no one imagined that it would ever be possible. Instead of "optical-kinetic", I call my works "optical-dynamic." Because it's like the dynamo of a bicycle, that little device that makes the wheel spin, producing electric energy. In reality the electric energy is not in the dynamo, but is a product of it, and is the result of the combination of a rotating magnet within the wires. This creates electricity. In my work, the final product is the result of the blending of the images in the background and the images in the foreground. And then, when you move in front of the images, you interact with them and create the illusion of movement».
Alberto Biasi, from an inteview in La voce di New York, 2016
