It reproduces a digital Eden made of virtual flowers and plants. It is a tribute to the beauty of nature, but also an invitation to reflect on our relationship with the natural world through a technological filter. This evocative installation will be accompanied by a live performance performed by Oriella Nitti, which will further enrich the multi-sensory experience of visitors. “Why don’t you listen to me?” is a video installation that merges digital visual arts with the gesture of the performers (Veronica Liuzzi and Oriella Nitti) who use Italian Sign Language to convey urgent messages on environmental issues. Through the use of signs, the authors of the work Veronica Liuzzi and Francesco Paolo Cosola want to evoke current and often overlooked issues, inviting the public to pay more attention to the challenges that our planet is facing.
The intensity of the signs amplifies the message, making it accessible and touching for those present. Furthermore, a selection of Computer Art projects by students of the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari will be screened, curated by the teacher Veronica Liuzzi. The video projections find a perfect setting in the chapel’s altarpiece, generating a dialogue between art, research and technology, to offer a visual and conceptual narrative. The exhibition represents a harmonious encounter between the past and the present, between the sacred and the profane, and between the human and the artificial. The event is an unmissable opportunity to explore new expressive horizons and to reflect on issues of great contemporary relevance.
