February 1, 2011 12:09 pm
On 6th February at 7 pm at Teatro Arena del Sole in Bologna, Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti by Angelo Comino aka Motor will be beating its robotic arms.
The show is part of the Arte e Scienza in Piazza programme of events, an annual initiative sponsored by the Marino Golinelli Foundation to promote scientific culture.
For the first time, Arte e Scienza in Piazza, also thanks to the performance of Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti, will be showcasing artistic works to highlight how art and science are interconnected.
Thus downtown Bologna will be transformed into a modern open-air stage for art and science to reveal their differences and affinities on the common ground of technology. Raising it voice, or rather its drums, on the matter will be Motor’s mechanical orchestra, on stage in full for Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti plays Nag Hammadi.
The performance represents the continuation of the joint project Opening the Door to Robotics co-ordinated by Enzo Marvaso, designed to introduce the subject of robotics to high school pupils.
Motor presented the artistic potential of robotics, drawing the enthusiasm of a young audience of over 500 students from four different high schools in the province of Turin.
Following the learning activities, Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti performed live in Turin at Teatro Ragazzi and in Ivrea at Teatro Politeama.
Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti was produced by the association The Sharing and the Torino Chamber of Commerce, the founders of the interdisciplinary platform Action Sharing, where artists, engineers and companies, along with scientists, economists, social workers and teachers, are brought together by technology.
The key objective of Action Sharing is to promote the engagement of art, science and technology, as a fertile ground for innovation.
In the business world, Orchestra Meccanica Marinetti was presented by the companies involved in the project at two leading industry events for the mechatronics sector, Mechatronic Connection in Turin and IMTS in Chicago.
