The design of the exhibition BOTH WAYS integrates reality and virtual reality, science and art
Five European countries collaborated in the realisation of BOTH WAYS, an innovative contemporary art exhibition, created by Trieste Contemporanea, designed by Gabriele Pitacco architects together with Fluido.it which contributes, which contributes, in the context of the Science in the City Festival, at the Euroscience Open Forum in Trieste.
BOTH WAYS is conceived - in its different aspects - with a dual perspective. The goal is exploring the relationship of two fields of knowledge that are actually more related than it seems, like art and science, and two spatial fields, the real and the virtual, whose relations have recently become much closer than in the past.
It is a polycentric exhibition of interconnected spaces, held in 5 European locations, whose headquarters are located in Trieste. It is integrated and extended with its online digital version, which can be visited accompanied by the avatars of the curators and / or artists.
The exhibition project, curated by gpa (Gabriele Pitacco architects) together with Fluido.it (Antonio Giacomin creative technologist), focuses on few minimal elements, which are able to enhance the fruition of the works, without competing with them. The new exhibition surfaces are perfectly integrated with the building and the exhibition spaces in which it is inserted, using the same architectural language, materials, thicknesses, heights, finishes and the “traffic white” of the walls. The hollow wall that characterizes the pre-existing spaces, made of 400 cm high walls painted in white, is re-proposed both by working on the deviation of the modular grid that characterizes the space both rotating and expanding the walls to become a habitable wall in its thickness, whose interior, completely black by contrast, becomes the exhibition space of the interactive sound and video environment of the artist Roberto Paci Dalò.
The exhibition is extend online, where the real and the virtual are integrated through the combined use of live streaming and virtual reality and expanding the limits of reality in virtual staging. The exhibition allows the visitor to enjoy guided tours in virtual reality, led by the avatars of the curators / artists, who interact in real time with visitors. The concept of the BOTH WAYS project is an ever evolving organism: it proposes works and spaces in different and distant places not only physically, but also as distant, as are the world of atoms from the world of bits, in almost identical appearance and integrated with its use.
Another peculiarity of BOTH WAYS is introducing a couple of curators for each country taking part to the project. The curators may come from both the world of contemporary art or from that of science. The following curators selected together the artists and the works taking part to the exhibition: Miruna Amza (RO), Anna Bálványos (H), Miruna Batin (RO), Georgiana Buț (RO), Giuliana Carbi Jesurun (I), Maja Ćirić (SR), Dobrivoje Lale Eric ( SR), Julia Fabényi (H), Ingeborg Fülepp (HR), Vedrana Mikulić Crnković (HR). Since 1995, Trieste Contemporanea accustomed its followers to the presence the Eastern European Art, but this collaboration with the Trieste 2020 edition of ESOF is particularly interesting, due to the involvment of scientists from this specific European area.
Another peculiarity is that, in some cases, the works themselves were created by a joint team as, in example, the work presented by the Croatian group, for educational purposes for the students of the Academy and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rijeka, or derived from collaboration between artists and scientists, as is the case of the Italian project by Paci Dalò of researchers from the JRC Joint Research Center - European Commission.
