Arsenale: Italian Pavilion - Shape video




Arsenale: Italy – The four Seasons Architecture for the “made in Italy” from Adriano Olivetti to the Green Economy - Shape. Shape a video directed by Francesco Matteucci, in which five sequences evolve through places that remind us of a space trip. It's a journey across volumes and shapes, both inspired and absorbed by nature. Time stands still, frozen in a science fiction atmosphere. Humanity is rarefied: tiny life forms come to life in this "rediscovered Atlantis" scenario. Chiara Luzzana has created
the soundtrack and sound design especially for this project. Through the use of modular synthesizers and analogue processors, she turned the original sounds of Olivetti machineries and environments into an audio path. The soundtrack weave an acoustic journey and arouses a feeling of "being there". Every single sound embedded in this audio path is, in fact, a real sound that has been "caught" through precision microphones and then turned into music.
