    Class instructor: Nicolò Giorgini & Marco Casagrande: Exploring the DOT

    Class Description:
    Starting from the research of the "DOT" Project, we will analyze together the main aspects and practices that move this work.

    The question from which it all begins is, "What would happen if a body was catapulted into a new system apparently foreign to common perception?"

    Starting from the analysis of celestial bodies and black holes, we will focus on the two types of orbital motions - of rotation and revolution - to construct a motion practice that relates bodies during a continuous state of free fall in space.

    Through the motion of rotation we will go through the many possibilities of transformation that the body may encounter through its different points of activation. The motion of revolution, on the other hand, will help us seek a careful state of alertness between bodies to maintain balance and never collapse the relationship system.

    The desire is to develop a singular ecosystem within which the bodies have a perennial capacity for transformation with a multidirectional orientation, in order to generate continuous sudden and surprising shifts in perspective.
