On the 24th and 25th of February, the City of Science explores the union between art and science, two seemingly opposite worlds, but which merge into a unique synergy. An opportunity to explore how art and science can interact, integrate, inspire each other and give rise to new forms of expression. Through practical activities, interactive demonstrations, workshops and the use of digital technologies, young and old visitors can explore how artistic creativity merges with scientific rigor and how art and science seem to be increasingly converging, even becoming interchangeable.
With the interactive lab 'rainbow of bubbles!' with plastic bottles and the help of soap and dyes, you can create a rainbow snake; combining art and science and using recycled materials, you will discover the wonders that hide behind mixtures of soap water and colors. And also with the 'magic lenses' workshop with a large cardboard and colored cellophane, you can build magnificent magic lenses to easily understand the theory of colors.
And again on Sunday 25th, the 'exploring the future with digital twins' workshop will present NaOasi, a 3D virtual environment that imagines the future transformation of the San Giovanni a Teduccio seafront. Digital twins are in fact proving to be the backbone of the future metaverse and fulfill the dream of creating immersive virtual worlds entirely similar to the real world.
And also the meeting 'The new frontiers of photography in the era of Artificial Intelligence' (Sunday 25th) proposes to explore how AI is influencing and transforming the way we conceive and practice photography. During the event, concrete examples of how artificial intelligence has already entered the field of photography and how this technology can improve the efficiency and creativity of photographers, using Adobe software: photoshop, lightroom and firefly.
As always, there will be shows at the planetarium and guided tours of the interactive museum of the human body Corporea and the Insects & Co. exhibition.
