What a Wonderful World

An exhibition itinerary of large installations with which the public interacts. An interactive touchscreen device for mapping, visualizing and sharing the sensations of the public in its relationship with the work of art.
It is What a Wonderful World, the new installation of the MAXXI Art Collection - technological, experimental and interactive - curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Director of MAXXI Arte with Eleonora Farina, Luigia Lonardelli and Anne Palopoli from 26 May 2022 to 12 March 2023, in the Gallery 1 of the Museum with free admission from Tuesday to Thursday.

The exhibition project develops in a flow of large immersive installations, including important new acquisitions and commissioned works from some of the major protagonists of the international art scene: Micol Assaël, Ed Atkins, Rosa Barba, Rossella Biscotti, Simon Denny, Rä di Martino, Franklin Evans, Thomas Hirschhorn, Carsten Höller, Liliana Moro, Olaf Nicolai, Jon Rafman, Tatiana Trouvé, Paolo Ventura, James Webb.

An integral part of the exhibition is the prototype of the Digital Relational Ecosystem, an interactive device designed by the HER: She Loves Data research center founded by Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico and based on Artificial Intelligence software. Along the exhibition itinerary, visitors are invited to interact with the works expressing impressions and suggestions. The data thus generated is then mapped, displayed and shared in real time within the exhibition, allowing the public, for the first time, to write the life of the works together with the Museum.
