We are asking artists from throughout the world to express their emotions
evoked by Christmas, intended not just as a religious festivity but in the
wider and ancientmeaning of the celebration of light regeneration over the
annual cycle of seasons.

Videos will be projected on a three-screen structure in Signoria Square. It
will be Florence Christmas tree, lightened by "visions" of artists from all
over the world.

Amidst a dramatic international crisis, Florence becomes an international
meeting point, centre of contemporary culture which is multicultural and
interethnic by definition.

This projects is made up of two realization phases.
At a first stage, editors and cultural institutions from various Countries
all over the world will select the artists to be contacted. Works may also
be forwarded directly to the organizing committee, which will proceed to
a first selection of the material received.

Selected works will be projected in Signoria Square from December 19th to
January 6st. During this period, both editors and the audience will vote
their favourite video. Each vote expressed by the editors will count for 50
votes by the audience.
During this time span, editors involved in voting will be gathered in
Florence for a two-day meeting (19th and 20th of december) so as to give
rise to a planning international network.
