The Institute of Cognitive Sciences and
Technologies (ISTC) of the CNR-National Research Council of
Italy is one of the promoters of the event "Paolo Monti + Gauss Blazing departure. Art infraseen from above", a day of in-depth
exploration into the
scientific-artistic project
Infra TazebAu s'pace scheduled for November 28 at the
Museum of Classical Art of La Sapienza University in Rome.
The happening, organized by the Museum Pole of the Sapienza and
MUSIS, presents the innovative art and
science project created by Paolo Monti
in collaboration with the Group of Astro-dynamics
of the University of Rome.
"The opera TazebAu
consists of dollar bills stripped of symbols, onto which are
affixed the signatures of persons encountered
en route: a metaphorical transcending of all
boundaries, a conversion of nominal value into relational
value," says Laura Rossi, in charge of the Observatory of Art,
Science and Innovation that takes care of organizing the
project.
The initiative embarked in 2005 aboard the Marco Polo Motoraid,
a journey that retraced the Silk Road, from Venice to Beijing.
In 2006, the 'signature' of astronaut Paolo Nespoli
endorsed the space project
which evolved into the workshop/opera
"TazebAu s’pace 2007. Paolo Nespoli, the man who made arms
gemmate. STS 120 Esperia Harmony".
The latest opera 'Infra-TazebAu
s'pace 2011'
was successfully launched
into orbit on 17 August at the Yasny
Space Centre (Russia), on board the microsatellite EDUSAT. A
project realized by the students of the Astro-dynamic Group of
the University La Sapienza (GAUSS)
made possible by the Italian Space Agency.
"A satellite elected
as an 'orbiting gallery', the
first of its kind, which will be observable
via video transmission during the
event of the 28th, as it transits through the skies of Rome," says Laura
Rossi.
The day of study foresees numerous testimonies and verification
on scientific and technological topics, with interventions,
among others, of Roberto Azzolini of the European Science
Foundation and Robert Somma, Senior Advisor to the CEO of Thales
Alenia Space Italy.
