OBJECTIVES
- Deepending the theme of spaces reconfiguration through historical-architectural knowledge of places
- Acquire skills and notions in the field of digital technology, starting from the study of the history of music and its evolution
- Processing audio and video files based on the digital simulation of architectural spaces
- Developing collaboration skills in a team of people, enhancing teamwork and problem solving
- Learning technical and notions in the musical and audiovisual field to design and create a temporary artistic installation
The aim of the school will be the realization of a short audiovisual product and possibly a site-specific installation to be presented at the end of the winter school, focused and inspired by the buildings and spaces of the University. The idea is to subject these spaces to a sort of creative re-imagination, showing how art can be use to transfigure, re-imagine and even to suggest how the present can be transformed and looks like. Together with an artist-in-residence that will mentor the students in this process, the winter school will bring their participants to become a drive for the future developments of space, and to bring new values to existing location by re-imagining them through the gaze of the artistic transformation.
