(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, APRIL 2 - The Italian Cultural Institute in Belgrade opens its doors to experimental art by showing a sound installation named 'Music in shape', a work by composer Michelangelo Lupone and visual artist Licia Galizia, on display from tomorrow to April 28. The event was presented today during a media conference in the Serbian capital by the Institutés director Alessandra Bertini Malgarini, with the presence of the two authors and of Laura Bianchini, in charge of the centre for musical research (CRM) in Rome. The installation is made of four big elements distributed in the exhibition spaces of palazzo Italia, in Belgrade, and is based on innovative technologies named Planofoni, designed by CRM. The Planofoni are vibrating systems made by panels from different materials, such as wood, copper, iron and they spread the sound with specific characteristics depending on the structure of the material, on the geometries of the design, on the orientation and bending of the surfaces, on the plastic volumes. The four works can be integrated through the interaction with the visitors and can adapt to environmental conditions. The active participation of the public is a necessary condition for the life of the installation, the artists explained, as the action of the audience determines both the changes in the sculptural shapes and the musical transformations. The peculiarities of the concept of this work and the correlation between the need for expression and the technological choices required an interdisciplinary research activity which involved, apart from the two authors, a group including three musicians, one architect, one physicist, two engineers for the section of algorithmic control, one engineer for the control of the survey devices, one engineer for the audio section. The project, apart from CRM, involved the Education Ministry, the University Ministry, the department for musical research and new technologies of the Conservatoire Casella in L'Aquila, with the support of the Foreign Ministry and the Chamber of Commerce of L'Aquila.
