The goal of issue 8 of Sciami | Ricerche is to help shed light on a universe of experiences still largely to be surveyed, in which painters, graphic designers, sculptors or video artists have worked within the television production structure. It is an extremely widespread network of collaborations, in which the role played by Rai first and by commercial TVs later on should not be underestimated, as an important job outlet for a series of professional profiles connected to the fine arts and theater.
