E pluribus unum. Il ruolo del pattern geometrico nella storia dell'arte siciliana
The harmony of forms seems to be regulated by its own laws compatible with the cognitive processes that regulate their perception. From the mimesis of nature, artistic forms investigate the geometric relationships between the parts and define systems of representation that exploit the optical phenomenon of the tessellation to obtain complex configurations from simple polygonal modules were born. The simplest tessellation finds its first application in the mosaic whose origin as a practice is very ancient, evolving up to the Greco-Roman world enriching and differentiating itself in two essential styles, one pictorial and one abstract, both beautifully represented within the Villa Romana del …
Deceptive design e disinformazione. Il ruolo delle tecnologie persuasive nella diffusione delle fake news.
Dal 2016, la letteratura scientifica ha registrato una drastica crescita dell’interesse per il tema delle fake news e ha dimostrato la responsabilità dei progettisti nel supportare fenomeni di polarizzazione. L’applicazione malevola di principi di psicologia cognitiva alla progettazione delle interfacce digitali, detta deceptive design, persegue la manipolazione dell’utente e gioca un ruolo chiave nella diffusione delle fake news: questo contributo offre un insieme di strumenti utili all’identificazione di notizie false, testati in fase di popolazione del database di news per l’addestramento di un algoritmo di verifica nell’ambito del progetto Fake News.
La poltrona di Proust. Evoluzione ed epistemologia di una relazione di prossimità tra design e artigianato.
The proximity between craft and design has been identified as one of the many reasons for the success of what has been the Made in Italy phenomenon, and now the contemporary design scenario shows a strong tendency to contamination of skills from one discipline to the other. This paper offers a critical analysis of the evolution of this relationship to identify new cognitive tools to interpret and categorise the instances of hybrid design in the era of design when everybody designs.
Design e Artigianato in Sicilia. Scambio e contaminazione tra forme diverse della progettualità.
While travelling on the fast tracks of the digital world, our age has long understood the importance of promoting cultural heritage. In this context, the intangible heritage that is made up of the baggage of knowledge related to artisanal know-how represents the foundation of the determination of territorial identities. The School of Design of the University of Palermo was among the first to embrace the idea of using design as a tool to safeguard and evolve the skills of craftsmanship: in the words of Anna Maria Fundarò, founder in 1981 of the Industrial Design Institute of Palermo, the identity of Sicilian design is engraved in the DNA of a discipline whose meaning "is linked to our local …
