IMMERSIVENESS, SONIC SPACE

via Fratelli Rosselli 1/b, incrocio con Via Rossi a Scandicci (Firenze)


Punto di domanda. Punto di crisi. Da qui parte la mia riflessione.
"Lo spazio sonoro immersivamente inteso è il frutto di un sistema ambientale di riferimenti progettuali e materiali, capace di ridefinire e rimaterializzare funzioni proprie dell'abitare quotidiano, oppure è solo un'astrazione, un esito formale compositivo delle avanguardie logiche, sociologiche ed estetico-musicali del '900?"

Lorenzo Brusci, laureato in filosofia e disegnatore di suono e spazi acustico-musicali. Nel 1993 ha fondato il gruppo di ricerca musico-gestuale "Timet" - www.timet.org - e nel 2004 ha fondato con il garden designer Stefano Passerotti il team di environmental design "Giardino Sonoro La Limonaia dell'Imperialino" . Le implicazioni espressive, architettoniche ed industriali del suono immersivo sono il principale obiettivo della sua attuale ricerca.

Lorenzo Brusci/GSLI is invited to jojn the facilitors team at
FACETS 2006, International Choreography Laboratory, Bangalore (INDIA), 7-27 january 2006.

The GSLI team is invited by ATTAKKALARI Biennial -International Dance and Digital Arts Festival held in the Indian town of Bangalore - to design and realize a SONIC GARDEN. January 2006

Arti e architettura nel nuovo paesaggio digitale
Conferenza del Prof. Antonino Saggio
per Fabbrica Europa, Firenze

Il panorama digitale che contraddistingue le ricerche di avanguardia dell'ultimo decennio sfuma i confini, sovrappone i contorni, mescola le tecniche e gli statuti delle diverse discipline.
Le ricerche artistiche si fanno spazio abitabile, ma anche le ricerche architettoniche contemporanee prendono le tensioni emotive e sensoriali delle altre arti.
Le caratteristiche di questo paesaggio mutevole e mobile tra arte e architettura che pone l'ambiente digitale al centro della riflessione è il tema della conferenza di Antonino Saggio che prende spunto dall'installazione del Giardino Sonoro, La Limonaia dell’Imperialino di Lorenzo Brusci e Stefano Passerotti.

h. 12.00 visita guidata da Lorenzo Brusci al Giardino Sonoro_ La Limonaia dell’Imperialino.

h. 16.30 conferenza Arti e architettura nel nuovo paesaggio digitale
presso la facoltà di architettura di Firenze, plesso didattico di Santa Verdiana, Piazza Ghiberti 27, in aula 1.
