Pertinent Narration

Sicily Lab Gioiosa Marea 2007

Sossio de Vita

Palischermi

De Vita already reveals in the title of the project the intensity of his conceptual, theoretical, and design approach to the city. The "palischermi" are actually the boats used in the "tonnara," which, in this seaside city, are also used in sagas, strength competitions, and events. The investigation carried out by this designer is comprehensive: from the reasons and organizations of the town in relation to the mountains, to the constant reconsideration of the relationship with the sea created by the railway, to the role of fishing and diving. The ancient tools of the sea and fishing (the vessels, the different types of configurations and reconfigurations of the nets and sails) anticipate the immersive world of computer technology.

Reinterpreation of Existing resources

Sicily Lab Gioiosa Marea 2008

The Cave of Tono as a space for sound and visual installations by contemporary artists.

Luigi Valente

Valente focuses his study on the Cave of Tono, a geologically rich structure from a naturalistic point of view, connecting the rocky cliff on which the city of Gioiosa Marea is settled and the sea. This cave, where prehistoric remains have been found, has recently been made accessible through guided tours. Valente applies his studies on underground structures to this context and identifies an interesting mode of use that is compatible with the interest and delicacy of the natural space. The underground area is equipped with a sound infrastructure (speakers of various power, characteristics, and arrangements) and image projectors. This infrastructure allows the Cave of Tono to be offered to a musician who (potentially in collaboration with a video artist) transforms the structure into a tailor-made sound installation. The installation can be visited by the public using the same current methods but can generate a culturally significant attraction for the town. The Cave of Tono thus comes to life and resonates with emotional and sensory depths, projecting the visitor into other dimensions. Valente's participation in the workshop was active and brilliant in all its phases, including assistance and support during some stages of editing and conceptualization of the works common to the entire workshop.
