The Lord of the Flies was issued in 2004 for Matteo Basilé’s solo show in Rotterdam, Holland at the Galerie Beukers. The show is an appendix of the artist’s work developped and realised during and after his one year soujourn in New York after winning the New York Prize. In Dominique Lora’s words: Matteo Basilé crafts his visual codes using the cybernetic glossary that contemporary societies are rapidly adopting to define and reorganise their socio-economic and cultural assets. Basil’s work naturally exceeds the boundaries of a complex dialogue between art and technology.
