Create by Imagining: works by "Art&Science Across Italy students" on display in Genoa
The Genoa stop is part of a series of 19 local exhibitions held in as many Italian cities, as part of the Art&Science Across Italy project, which, now in its fourth edition, aims to bring girls and boys closer to the world of science using the language of art.
The project is realized by INFN in collaboration with Geneva's CERN and, a partner in the latest edition, the University of Naples Federico II.
More than 6,500 students, from more than 180 schools, participate in the 2022-2024 edition.
The exhibition of the Genoa stage hosts the 30 artistic works of about 90 male and female students from the Liceo Artistico Statale Klee-Barabino high school in Genoa, Istituto Eugenio Montale in Bordighera (IM) and Istituto Tecnico Industriale G. Omar in Novara. Each work was inspired by a scientific topic, spanning various disciplines from physics to biology, mathematics to chemistry, computer science to geology, and was created after a series of seminars and meetings with female researchers that took place last year.
The works were evaluated by a panel of experts and experts, and those deemed most significant in the exhibition were awarded during the opening event held today, April 12, starting at 11 a.m., at the University Library.
The work that won first place is “Tactile Universe: a sensory journey into infinity,” by Tommaso Caligari, Riccardo Carmagnola and Luca Moreni (I.T.I. G. Omar), in second place came Davide Coppola, Ariel Barbera and Giulio Forieri with “Black Hunger” (E. Montale Institute), and, finally in third place, the work “Buckyball” by Elisa Repetto and Margherita De Donno (Liceo Artistico Statale Klee Barabino).
The works ranked first in the Ligurian exhibition will, in fact, go on to compose, together with the winning works from the other stages, the national exhibition and competition, which will be held at the MANN - National Archaeological Museum in Naples from May 3 to 17, 2024. The winners and winners of the national competition will receive a scholarship to attend a one-week master's program on the relationship between art and science at INFN laboratories or CERN.
Art&Science Across Italy.
The two-year "Art&Science Across Italy" project involves students in last three grades of high schools with the aim of bringing them closer to the world of scientific research, following different individual aptitudes and interests. During the first year, seminars, workshops and visits to museums and laboratories are organized, which students and students take as a stimulus to create artistic works on scientific topics. The works created are displayed and awarded in local exhibitions, and the most significant ones are collected in the national exhibition, which concludes the project. From the first edition to date, "Art&Science Across Italy" has involved more than 16,000 students from 15 Italian regions, where the project is coordinated by a number of researchers from INFN Sections and local universities.
The 2022-2024 edition of the "Art&Science Across Italy" project is carried out by a collaboration between INFN, CERN and the University of Naples Federico II, is sponsored by Radio Kiss Kiss and CAEN, and is supported by funding from the European community through the “Playing with Protons Goes Digital” project and a grant from the Edo and Elvo Tempia Foundation.
