From 17 October to 30 November 2025
Possible Infinities intertwines music, visual arts, architecture, and innovative technologies into a single plot, creating an immersive and multisensory experience that explores the delicate balance between the natural and digital worlds.
In the heart of the Carlo Scarpa Garden, a place already poetic and steeped in history, Pier Alfeo's site-specific work comes to life, the second chapter of the Biomimesis Series (2/7). The multi-channel sound installation, freely inspired by Maestro Luigi Nono's composition "To Carlo Scarpa, architect, to his infinite possibilities," serves as a bridge between the geometries of space, musical vibrations, and life forms yet to be discovered.
Pier Alfeo is a sound and transmedia artist. His practice encompasses sound installations, electronic music compositions, immersive experiences, and visual works. Through his work, he explores the intense relationship between humans, nature, and technology. His works juxtapose the repetitiveness of mechanical-algorithmic systems with the unpredictability of chaos, generating new configurations of meaning.
The Biomimesis Series, of which the work presented at Querini Stampalia is a part, consists of hybrid creature/sculptures, the result of computer studies on musical scores. Sensible technological structures, new bodies resonating with their own life code. The energy that flows through them recalls the behavior of the Selaginella (also known as the false Rose of Jericho), a desert plant capable of completely dehydrating and remaining dormant for long periods, only to come back to life with a few drops of water. Like it, the work animates, retracts, and is reborn, embodying a perpetual cycle of transformation. Possible Infinities reflects on the dynamics of techno-hybridization and hyperconnectivity of contemporary society, shaping a collective creature balancing between nature and machine.
Possible Infinities, visible from October 17 to November 30, 2025 in the Carlo Scarpa Garden at the Querini Stampalia Foundation, is included as a collateral event in the program of the eighth edition of the Luigi Nono Festival, held in Venice from October 2 to November 29 and entitled Fragments. Organized by the Luigi Nono Archive Foundation, the Festival represents an important interdisciplinary project aimed at enhancing the legacy of the renowned composer through a dialogue between music, visual arts, installations, and performances.
