MASTERCLASS PRESENTATION by Massimiliano Finazzer Flory:
This masterclass will deal with the topic of interdisciplinarity through the conjugation of:
Art and Science
Memory and Imagination
Tradition and Technology
Theater and Cinema
Leonardo defined himself not only as an artist and a philosopher, as scientists were called at that time, but also as an inventor. According to him, an inventor is a person able to create an artifact or an artwork by assembling different elements in a new configuration that doesn’t exist in nature. This definition comes very close to our concept of Designer, which did not exist in the Renaissance; in fact Leonardo summarized in his work art, science and functionality, which today is what we call Design.
With our film, in this masterclass we want to explain how cinematic techniques have absorbed Leonardo’s teaching, by conjugating photography, editing and screenplay together with history and pictorial theories, in order to raise Nature and Environment to the role of protagonist.
Today this philosophy is supported by the school of thought known as Deep Ecology.
