ZOON – The Second Creative Workshop Exhibition
A project by the R.A.M. Collective Opening: Tuesday, April 5, 2011, at 6:30 PM

The second creative workshop MELTINGPOT, which began on March 1, 2011, hosts Zoon, a sensitive sound environment project by the R.A.M. collective. R.A.M. is a group of young artists from diverse backgrounds, including Francesco Fonassi, Michele Marelli, Daniel Pasotti, Giorgio Presti, and Corrado Saija. The group conducts research on sound space, where applied technologies become a tool for establishing relationships between contexts, presences, and individual listening.

Zoon is an artificial creature that manifests the existing symbiosis between environments and their users, pushing them to become one. It suggests that space and time are merely some of the dimensions through which reality can be described and interpreted.

The dialogue between sound and movement interprets the essential traits of a location, suggesting a continuity with the human presence within it. Music is thus used as a new dimension (or language) through which everyone can perceive the continuity that links them to others.
