The curatorial idea of this exhibition is to “invade/infect” the Museum, in its various spaces, with works of art, technology and science, all of them focused on the Pandemic theme, from scientific aspects of virus replication, to social aspects of its effects on the society.
The works and artists to be presented in this exhibition, resulted from a selection of participants in the online edition of the “Maker Art” section, promoted by the Festival through an international Open Call. Pandemic was the inevitable leitmotiv of this Open Call.
The relationship between art and catastrophes, or isolation, is not new, but the crossing of these two realities with the planet of biological and digital viruses, yes, it is a new, striking and lasting experience.
