From 3 to 5 pm, Paolo Gatti and Francesco Bianco will be at the IIS Sandro Pertini School in Genzano (Rome) to develop another live performance, an interactive sound installation.
The appointment with the Bnl Media Art Festival original event-project format, which will be held on April 13-17, 2016 at the MAXXI Museum, will feature lectures, installations and conferences with international experts, as well as didactic and educational tracks for students of all ages. The Media Art Festival is an absolute novelty for the Italian artistic panorama, a true, networked laboratory to entice the younger generation to the active, creative and innovative use of technology. Following on the heels of the successful pilot edition, two new partners have joined the initiative developed by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale: BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas and the Rome Fondazione MAXXI. The event is also now has the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Cultural Activities and Tourism.
