Turin: Radiant Works
This exhibition presents the first body of work derived from the last ten years of research by Italian creative Giorgio Di Salvo in the field of audio. Radiant Works is a site-specific adaptive sound installation marking the culmination of Di Salvo’s exploration of sound. Combining radical design with non-standard materials and technologies, the audio medium becomes the essence of the artwork. The installation features a spatialized sonic composition where pure sound forms a dynamic and immersive architecture.
