‘A Swarm of Sound’
2022
Author's accepted manuscript. This article explores the idea of audiovisual immersion through the portal of the virtual reality music video. Our focus falls on a close reading of Björk’s video, ‘Family’, which addresses questions of immersion in relation to user-experience, staging, and technological innovation. This article draws on the authors’ responses to the video by considering the implications of VR immersion in a new generation of music video productions. As part of the methodology on offer, a model for music analysis is devised for conceptualising virtual audiovisual space (VAVS) and the inextricable relationships between production and compositional design.
Gemelle diverse. Las iglesias de la Santísima Trinidad de Delia y de San Nicolò Regale en Trápani, Sicilia
2019
[EN] The work develops the necessary phases before arriving at a restoration project. The main objectives are: the study and historical-architectural analysis, the knowledge of the current management and enhancement of the two churches, the proposal of strategies to show the value of the remains of the past and to educate the new generations and the development of a method. In addition to the data collection “in situ” relative to the current conditions of the elements, their state of conservation and the documentation of existing pathologies, an architectural survey has been carried out to perform the comparative analysis of both churches and the proposals of action. The two architectures a…
TV-theatre: TV Presence in Contemporary Theatre for Children and Young Audiences in Buenos Aires
2009
In Argentina, television shows have created their own theatrical shows, which run for the winter holidays, using the same stories, same characters, and same actors but onstage. Many artists who devote themselves all year long to theatre for children see those “TV-theatre” shows as unfair competition, arguing that such huge productions lack actual artistry and cultural value. This paper aims to examine the characteristics of the TV-theatre, including how much theatre and how much TV languages, codes, and messages it contains, using Pavis´s concept of “intermediality.” If one of theatre for children's greatest goals or outcomes is to create future audiences/theatregoers, and to impart in them…
City as a museum of letters
2011
Abstract We can approach the knowledge of the city from multiple ways. We think that urban typography is a very attractive element to know the cities. In this article vindicates typography as an educational value, which allows also a better knowledge of the urban culture. Letters as a design constitute a decisive visual element in the urban environment. This article purposes a new look upon the city, at the same time that it opens up unusual spaces linked to the cultural arena and suitable geographies for the creation of learning spaces. The city is offered to us full of messages, patrimonial elements that can turn out to be very attractive if we observe them from new, interdisciplinary, su…

Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage: ViC-CH a Synthesis Between Digital Representation and Heritage Experience
2019
The dissemination possibilities offered by digital technologies provide multiple ways of reading and fruition of the cultural heritage. In order to define a visualization and communication strategy through images, the paper shows some of the results of the ViC-CH Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage workshop, which involved the University of Trento and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The graphic elaborations focused on the Library of the Priest Seminar in Brixen; photomodelling, short films with drone shots and virtual visits have been some of the ways of manipulating the image for the animation and realistic visualization of a cultural heritage not easily accessible to date (The pape…
L’immagine del turco nella Sicilia del Cinquecento
2016
Il contributo individua nella produzione artistica siciliana tra il 1560 e il 1585 alcune opere che contemplano in forme scultoree l’immagine dei “turchi” sconfitti. La “cona” realizzata da Antonino Gagini da Palermo per il duomo di San Giorgio a Ragusa ne offre uno dei primi esempi significativi; sul versante opposto dell’isola, l’esempio più eloquente è rinvenibile nel lato esterno di porta Nuova o porta Austria di Palermo. Le raffigurazioni sono articolate in varianti drammatiche, epiche e, indirettamente, consolatorie, secondo le indicazioni offerte da Vitruvio: l’antico si presta a offrire una spiegazione per eventi tragici e per le condizioni drammatiche del presente. In alcune iconog…
