Notes
Magnetism (for artists) by Rodolfo Borzi
PhD in physics. CONICET researcher. Magnetism commonly evokes the almost magical possibility of acting on something without actually touching it. I will use this idea as a starting point and a pretext to discuss the physicist’s view of action at a distance, the origin of magnetic phenomena, the link between magnetism and light, and physics and mathematics. We will also talk about scientific research in the field of magnetism.
Duo Stepančić-Gidron
The duo, based in the Netherlands/New York, presents a program of works that highlight the acoustic properties of the piano — its clear resonance and decay of sound — complemented or reinforced by sine waves, forming an in-situ way in which both sonorities feed and reinforce one another.
