The moon is full, but it is not the moon - Trailer

Trailer of "The moon is full, but it is not the moon", a multimedia installation which allows the audience to travel through a surreal landscape composed of sounds, images, sculptural objects, and textual traces.

For six months Gioj De Marco, Loris D’Acunto, Agnese Toniutti, Karolina Pernar and Andrej Mirčev recorded their dreams in collaboration with The Collective Dreamworld Project, an online dream-weaving experiment that uses an AI language prediction model. A sensorial collage emerged, recreated here in a series of atmospheric chambers where sculptural forms, video projections, soundscapes, musical compositions, and staged performances take turns appearing and disappearing. Moving through the space as if in a dream, visitors explore the connections between science, the arts and deep learning.

I created four piano pieces, for the most part using extended techniques, synchronized to the huge screen projection at the centre of the hall, which was running and standing still alternatively. Four different “promenades” interconnected the pieces, interweaving field-recordings taken in nature in different seasons of the year to sounds produced with extended techniques on the piano, so to possibly create a strange natural/unnatural sound perception. Some of the sounds of the piano in the promenades served as “themes” developed in each of the piano pieces. Almost-silent moments alternated to music to guide the public towards the “couch video” with dialogue, which was at the very end of the huge gallery. The overall duration of the work is around 45 minutes.
The sound work was conceived to immerse the visitors in the Collective Dreamworld, and also to isolate the space from the outside soundscape (train station, bus station, traffic) and guide the audience through the different visual installations placed in the very big space of Rotondes.
