Reficio
The goal of the project was to create a physical installation that included the use of light and was actually feasible. We were then given a location - a particular spot in Verona -, a date and carte blanche for the realization. The result is
Re-ficio, an
interactive installation
that brings back to life Porta Leoni, a monument that today is little valued but with great potential. Thanks to a modular structure, the project has a double face: during the day it gives power and monumentality to the place, at night it
becomes a projection canvas for an interactive installation in which the public is invited to participate.
Through the use of tulle, the projected interaction takes on a multi-layered aesthetic that enhances the depth and physical form of the door. What is projected is the result of the interaction with the public, called to shape the new identity
of Porta Leoni with messages and phrases digitally engraved on the new monument.
Users can access the web app through the numerous Call To Action placed on the site. Once on the platform, they are asked for a nickname and to choose a color, and then are randomly assigned a portion of the door. Here they can leave messages,
drawings or thoughts, which are then projected on the monuments, thus converting what could be an act of vandalism into something instead artistic and unique.
