Koncert za mrtvo o samih sebi ter o svetu. naravo (Il concerto per natura morta) Roberta Puglieseja je sestavljen iz trinajstih Tišina, dih, glas, zvok in narava so ključni mrtvih kostanjevih debel, visečih v zraku v elementi razstave, ki s številnimi artiku- vodoravnem položaju na različnih višinah.

Reproduciran človeška usmeritev, odpirajo trenutek zvok instalacije izhaja iz mesta, od koder so opazovanja, v katerem nam pred očmi bila debla odstranjena, in iz posnetkov izginjata sedanjost in prihodnost. nastalih med njihovo pripravo. Kasneje so bili ti zvoki digitalno procesirani s pomočjo za ta namen zasnovane programske opreme, nato pa kompozicijsko sestavljeni. Posledično se uporabnik potopi v »tihožitje«, kjer prisotnost zvočnega vidika, skupaj z veličastno in impresivno vizualno teksturo, ustvarja mogočen čustven učinek in vzbuja veliko zanimanje.

Michele Spanghero, Ad lib. Tako nas fizično in čustveno pritegne zvočna skulptura Ad Lib., ki jo je ustvaril Michele Spanghero in ki združuje medicinsko napravo za avtomatsko predihavanje pljuč in nekaj orgelskih piščali, ki igrajo glasbeni akord v skladu s konstantnim ritmom mehaničnega dihanja; iz tega nastane umetni organ, v metaforičnem smislu mehanski rekviem, ki odzvanja brez prestanka. Po drugi Roberto Pugliese, Concerto per natura morta strani Alberto Tadiello, izhajajoč iz pesmi 21 Za razliko od Puglieseja nas švicarski umetnik NO MORE SILENCE is an exhibition, Robin Meier z instalacijo Synchronicity deliberately and ideally based on a pentatonic popelje v mangrovske gozdove na Tajskem, v scale that can be read in various manners, katerih tam živeče kresnice (Pteroptyx depending on the physical and mental malaccae) sinhronizirajo svoje utripe z direction with which one opens up to embrace računalniško nadzorovanimi LED sijalkami. the message: „Read the silence to listen, to Ob vzpostavitvi svetlobne komunikacije z liberate ourselves from everything so we can žuželkami umetnik vpliva na ritmično start to live again and rethink ourselves and utripanje velikih kolonij kresnic, tihi orkester the world.“ pa tako deluje usklajeno, ne da bi potreboval dirigenta. V tej ritmični svetlobni kompoziciji Silence, breath, voice, sound, and nature; se računalniki in insekti sporazumevajo brez these are the key elements of the exhibition centralnega nadzora. and together with various articulated, individual, and singular projects that are searching for the zero point of sound, intended here as the human orientation, they are offering a foregleam of the moment in which our own present and our future are lost out of sight.

Then there is Alberto Tadiello, whose work, using the song Thirteen from the Hospice album by The Antlers as a starting point, builds up a suspension and physical tension between two

22 In comparison to Pugliese’s view on the sound of nature, the Swiss artist Robin Meier in his installation Synchronicity leads us into a mangrove forest in Thailand, where live fireflies (Pteroptyx malaccae) synchronise their flashes with computer-controlled LEDs. By establishing a light-based form of communi- cation with insects, the artist influences the rhythmic flashing of large colonies of fireflies. A silent orchestra harmonises without the need for a conductor. With no central control, computers and insects interact in this rhythmic composition of light.

Following to a precise concept of exchanging and reinterpreting sound and images in the act of speaking, the work by Chinese artist Hui Ye Lip Synch aims to examine and deconstruct the fundamental function of language. Whilst Alberto Tadiello, 13 removing the original auditive/linguistic artificial bodies yearning for a contact which, information, the “spoken” images have however, remains unattained; in this way it become a visual notation for performances in creates conflicting reactions, such as which languages are turned into senseless startlement, environmental involvement, and a audio-visual expressions. complete transformation of space. Il concerto per natura morta (A concert for dead nature) by Roberto Pugliese, on the other hand, is composed of thirteen dead trunks suspended in horizontal position in the air at different heights. Inside each trunk is a speaker which allows the sound to be amplified and modified, in line with trunks’ volume and shape. The sounds reproduced by the installation derive from the places from which the trunks were taken, as well as from recordings made during the process of their preparation. They have been later processed in a digital manner using software designed for this purpose and then compositionally assembled. In this way, the user is immersed in a “still life” where the presence of the sound aspect, combined with the imposing and impressive visual texture, provides the work with a great emotional and engaging impact.
