*ARS-KA* is a self-financed art project which sees the light within the complex and variegated world of the historical Squatted Social Centre ASKATASUNA in Turin, Italy, the aim of which is to organize exhibitions, events, work-shops of visual-art, music, dance in an unconventional space. One of the main purposes of the *ARS-KA* project is to offer the inhabitants of the district and beyond the opportunity to approach a new experience usually out of their reach.
The next event will take place from December 11 to 20, 2009. It will show the interactive installation *FISHES POETS *created by the Italian multimedia artist Ennio Bertand (www.enniobertrand.com). This work of art is the result of the continuous evolution of the installation *Lux sonnet in tenebris** *that was originally shown in 1992. In the present version, ten live red fishes interact with the beam of a built-in video-camera connected to a music pattern. The motion of the fishes in the aquarium activates pre-recorded sounds. The music structure of Fishes Poets consists of different scores that are given a pre-defined execution time, after which a new pattern is played, like a page being turned over. The sounds of each score have their own precise spatial reference, previously set in the soft-ware of the installation, interpreted by the video-camera. Each sound, virtually hosted in the music pattern, is activated by the shadow of the fishes swimming around. The contingent movement of the red fishes activates one or more sounds of the score in a sequence or contemporaneousness dictated by them, thus bringing to life the musical excerpt through their temporal development.
