On November 17th and 18th, the city will host two days dedicated to the theme of "Visions": seeing, perceiving, and interpreting reality, from the starry sky to the seabed. "This is the eleventh edition, and it's always a great celebration, increasingly involving schools," says Carlo Aymerich, of Consorzio Uno and project coordinator. "The girls and boys are the real protagonists: they will guide visitors through the world of science, and by explaining to others, they will learn in turn. It's the most effective way to absorb the knowledge and the very essence of the festival."
Many high school workshops focus on the topic, such as De Castro's "ΙΔΕΙΝ… SEE. Ancient and Modern Perspectives." The opening event, on the 17th, will be at the Chiostro del Carmine with researchers from CNR-IRBIM: from "Beneath the Surface" to "Polar Visions." On the 18th, the sound installation "Deeping Waves." At Mariano IV d'Arborea, the pre-festival will take place on Saturday the 14th, with "Beyond the Algorithm: Frontiers of Artificial Intelligence" and former student Sara Zoccheddu; on the 18th, the seminar "Reflections on the Principle of Freedom" with Maria Del Zompo. At Othoca, the topic opens up to protection: on the 17th, the truth, with former deputy commissioner Angelo Lino Murtas and linguistic expert Antonio Ignazio Garau; On the 18th, environment and territory, with Licia Colò and Massimiliano Messina of Monumenti Aperti. This will be followed by telescopes pointed at the sky with Ignazio Cara of the Sardinian Amateur Astronomers Association. On the 21st, after the festival, "Sandro Pertini" by Gianluca Scroccu with Andrea Santucciu.
An opportunity to learn to see, from the depths of the sea to the vault of heaven. Because science, like sight, is never just what we observe, but what we learn to see.
