The new issue of “Aisthesis. Discovering Art Through All the Senses” brings together contributions exploring the relationship between art, touch, accessibility, and the conservation of cultural heritage.
Andrea Socrati explores the Premio Omero and the winning work RMN by Alberto Tadiello; Elena Tesser reflects on the role of touch in the artistic experience and on the new possibilities offered by technology and diagnostic tools.
Maria Pia Coccia and Maria Manganaro examine the cultural and scientific value of contact with works of art, focusing in particular on the experience of the Museo Tattile Statale Omero.
Loretta Secchi dedicates her contribution to Guernica as a universal symbol against war, while Costantino D’Orazio presents the accessibility projects of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria, including tactile paths, audio descriptions, and tools based on artificial intelligence.
This issue is available in English (PDF, 174 KB), translated by Lorenzo Bontempi, and in Spanish (PDF, 415 KB), translated by Elisabetta Paolozzi.
