From 19 March to 12 June 2011, the PAC - Padiglione Arte Contemporanea - Milan has organized a major retrospective devoted to the American artist Tony Oursler , regarded as the inventor of video-sculpture. The exhibition, curated by Gianni Mercurio and Demetrio Paparoni, presents a wide selection of works, including some recent installations of large format. During his career, Oursler has explored the influence the relationship with the media, drugs, mental illness, pop culture, the craving consumerism, sex, and pollution have on the human body and relationships. 
The artist has also shown great interest in music and the possible interactions with this area of \u200b\u200bexpression through the video. 
Oursler's works are in the collections from the largest museums of international modern and contemporary art from MOMA in New York to the Tate in London. L and multimedia works that made him famous videos are projected in three dimensions, often on spherical surfaces, which increase the expressive the subject's face in the act of speaking, to observe or yell. Combining sculpture, multimedia projections and recordings of the human voice, Oursler real interaction with the audience and the animation of psychological and philosophical concepts in a dreamlike space: much attention is given to light (see, for example its Installation Streetlight 1997 or Optics of 1999, analyzed the polarity of light through a dark room).
