SUMMARY:Sensitive Forms – A Narrative of a Landscape
DESCRIPTION:“Sensitive Forms” \nadaptive and interactive sculptural-musical work\, \nby Licia Galizia and Michelangelo Lupone\nwith the contribution of\nGSSI Gran Sasso Science Institute\nin collaboration with\nGSSI Computer Science Area\, led by Prof. Patrizio Pelliccione\nCRM Music Research Center – ETS\nPAC Contemporary Art Project\nThe Gran Sasso Science Institute Visitor Center is hosting “Forme Sensibili – Narrazione di un paesaggio”\, a sculptural-musical work created by artists Licia Galizia and Michelangelo Lupone in collaboration with the GSSI’s Computer Science department\, the CRM – ETS Center for Musical Research\, and PAC – Contemporary Art Project\, supported and promoted by the City of L’Aquila. \nThe installation takes the form of an abstract landscape in constant transformation: every gesture\, every touch\, and every visitor’s presence influences the work’s sound component\, giving rise to ever-changing and unique sound and visual configurations. The work also engages in a dialogue with the cosmos: a muon detector —which detects high-energy particles constantly traversing space—translates their passage in real time into light and sound pulses that become part of the composition. An experience in which art\, science\, and human presence merge into a single sensory narrative in perpetual flux. Visiting hours: Monday–Friday 3:00 PM–7:00 PM (closed August 13–19).   \nFREE ADMISSION.

SUMMARY:A Glimmer in the Shadows. Art\, Underground Life\, Crossings: Press Conference
DESCRIPTION:The project features an exhibition of works by a selection of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila\, accompanied by a series of temporary events. It is a group exhibition that is diverse and heterogeneous in terms of the media and artistic languages used. The project will make use of existing on-site structures\, but will also feature light and/or sound installations to complement the existing infrastructure. The aim is to revitalize the site while also highlighting its distinctive characteristics—both perceptual and symbolic—which define it due to its topographical location and morphological structure. Side events are planned\, such as musical evenings\, book presentations\, and film screenings. Each of these will be organized in collaboration with local entities (individuals\, associations\, bookstores\, etc.) in the city.
