From 24 October through to 30 November the National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Roma is emptying and reinventing itself as a container for sound, image and movement with site specific installations and a rich programme of events.

 

By studying the relationship between the museum’s architecture and the city of Rome,Bill Fontana creates Sonic Mappings (2014), an immersive sound sculpture. The work is a sort of mapping of the sounds made by the Virgin Aqueduct, a musical collection of the acoustic, harmonious, rhythmical qualities of the water moving through different places and times.

 

Studiando la relazione tra l’architettura del museo e la città di Roma, Bill Fontana crea Sonic Mappings (2014), una scultura sonora immersiva. L’opera è una sorta di mappatura dei suoni dell’Acquedotto Vergine, un ambiente uditivo in cui tutti sono invitati a immergersi: un vocabolario musicale che collega il museo alla città.
