Adaptive Volumes are a step further with respect to interaction (…) they are able to evolve exactly as any living organism. Volumes that can change and learn from interaction with the public but there is no longer a limited, albeit invisible, number of responses to a stimulus as with interaction (…) These are the characteristics that make Galizia's and Lupone's research an important example of the post-human scenario as both produce work that allows the aesthetic experience to take the form of change, hybridisation in act. (…) Consequently, culture is a creative non-equilibrium.
from: Franco Speroni, "From Interaction to Adaptive Volumes. Reflections on change in act", 2007
Musica in forma is an adaptive music and plastic art installation consisting of three large modular works based on the innovative Planephone® technology perfected by CRM in Rome.
Planephones® are resonant systems consisting of panels of various materials - wood, copper, iron - which diffuse the sound with characteristics that depend on the structure of the material, on the geometry of the design, on the alignment and curvature of the surfaces, on the plastic volumes. The work is capable of interacting with the public and can also be made to suit environmental conditions. At the Museum of Egyptian Modern Art "Study No. 3 on Adaptive Volumes" is being presented. The dominant whiteness and the characteristic form make the structure highly impressive from both the plastic and the musical point of view. The materials are integrated by means of cuts and slits which render the form dynamic and highlight its changeable nature. The position of all the mobile metal parts can be varied by the visitor, consequently giving rise to manifold musical and plastic forms. When the structure is not used, or remains static for several hours, an intrinsic process of transformation makes it evolve musically in relation to what it registers from the surrounding environment.The musical character is fluid and incisive: delicate and slow in the phases of evolution, rapid and polyphonic in those of variation of the plastic form.
