The training module promotes the exchange and construction of knowledge through conversations, listening, through artistic, artisanal and digital expression, through play and corporeity. All this in a framework of co-training and civic co-education that we call active and reciprocal maieutic.
The m.a.i. module is characterized by immersion and is therefore an active immersive module; with the acronym m.a.i. it directs the experience of temporality towards the different usages of a new and collective space, it overcomes the separation between the use of the body and that of the mind. It is crisscrossed with interdisciplinary connections, reflexiveness, dialogue, dense theoretical-conversational and practical-experiential moments that, through time, impact the sphere of relationships and emotion.
“immersive active module” on May 3rd and 4th, with third year students in sections B, C and D, and with fourth year students in section C at the Rimini Linguistic High School, with teachers Davide Pazzaglia, Michele Siotto, Marta Pompei, the SP31 work group Tonino Perna, Andrea Fantini, Marialuisa Cipriani, Lorenzo Cagnoli, Nicole “Wendy” Lafiata, Ivan Fantini, Karen Venturini, Massimo Salvucci, Marco Caselli Nirmal, Isabella Bordoni
The “immersive active module” days are accompanied by documentation work that generates an archive.
In its most traditional manifestation, the archive is a repository of information with materials in various formats (paper, multimedia) whose production and use contain different and implicit degrees of fidelity and arbitrariness. In this case, the archive relies on its possibility of listening and viewing by adopting a further format, becoming an installation that in turn interrogates, interprets, re-situates those same materials by giving them new forms of life. The m.a.i. archive, therefore, expands, in sensory and environmental form, the discursive apparatus of its documentary materials and becomes a display, a manifestation of a new experience.
Rendered listenable and observable in fixed and mobile form in the indoor and outdoor spaces of SP31, outdoors and on the move, the archive modifies its condition as repository and becomes repertoire, display, displacement, offering an unprecedented opportunity for a new encounter to which it invites the inhabitants, the students who participated on May 3rd and 4th, the families, schools, the general public.
The m.a.i. archive of June 7th, 8th, and 9th includes:
- 6 illustrations by Arianna Vairo
- 66 photographs on paper by Massimo Salvucci
- 300 video photographs by Marco Caselli Nirmal
- Tobia Bandini's acoustic rendition of the recordings made by the students, with contributions by Tonino Perna, Andrea Fantini, Marialuisa Cipriani, Lorenzo Cagnoli, Nicole “Wendy” Lafiata, Ivan Fantini, Karen Venturini, Isabella Bordoni, third year students from sections B, C, and D and fourth year students from section C at the Linguistic High School of Rimini.
- student group skits around the co-design tables of the outdoor and painting space
- the remainder of the bread made together
The archive is now available for listening and observation: in fixed and mobile forms, in the interior and exterior spaces of SP31, outdoors and on the move. It modifies its condition as a repository, while preserving it, and so becomes repertoire, display, displacement, fostering an opportunity for a new encounter extending the invitation to the inhabitants, the intended and unintended audiences. In linking display to displacement, the archive m.a.i. envisages the landscape as a communal place, a civic, reciprocal, educational space in which to reposition oneself.
From this repositioning stems the section Trading Landscapes.
