performance
The “Tesselumen” project offers a unique immersive experience, inviting the audience to explore the fusion of the visual universe of Archegon, conceived by artist Vini Fabretti, and the sensory-sonic universe of Luciano Sallun, leader of the renowned electronic “Chill-out” music project Pedra Branca. In the fulldome environment, the dome becomes a 360-degree screen where Fabretti’s visuals in Archegon’s “Spiritua” and “Naturis” planes come to life in sync with Sallun’s music. “Spiritua” evokes a dimension of transcendence and introspection, while “Naturis” celebrates the intrinsic connection to the natural world. The combination of these two artistic dimensions creates a total immersion where the audience is enveloped by images and sounds that elevate and connect, transporting them to an expanded reality. The project proposes not just an exhibition but a contemplative journey where the fusion of image and sound offers a unique experience of transcendence and connection with the cosmos and the natural world.

The real-time intangible interaction allows visitors to co-create the experience with the machine in a kind of ritual of reconnection. Hand movements affect the live visuals and help navigate through this artificially created nature.
