S+T+ARTS RESILENCE ARTIST ANDREA CERA
On Wednesday the 18th of December at CasaPaganini a series of micro-workshops dedicated to the relationship between sound intrusiveness and movement quality was presented. As part of S+T+ARTS ReSilence residency artist’s Andrea Cera project “Moving soundscapes”.
With the help of students from the Master in Digital Humanities at the University of Genoa. Experiences, in which the public was able to measure their sensitivity to noise; visualize the parameters that make their voice intrusive; understand how movements influence the social space around us; interact with intelligent systems that react to the quality of movements, were presented. Along with the ReSilent app, developed with Julien Boit, which allows us to de-contextualize the sounds that surround us, lowering their salience and therefore their intrusiveness.
Finally, in the Auditorium there was a preview of Moving Soundscapes, a space that reacts with different levels of sonic and visual intrusiveness to the qualities of the public’s movement, inviting them to search for a “slow mood”. The choreographer Cora Gasparotti accompanied the public in the interaction with space, dialoguing with my sounds and the images generated by a GAN network, programmed by CERTH using images of industrial areas in the Northeast of Italy.
