The opening event will be an occasion for teachers and students from upper secondary schools and a first opportunity to get information about the topic that are going to be discussed during this edition: agriculture, food, sustainability.
In order to grant continuity to the debate arisen from EXPO 2015, Scienza Attiva is based on the challenges in the fields of food education, food culture as an identity value, of agro-technologies for food innovation and security, giving special attention to the cross-cutting theme of environmental, economic and social sustainability.
The 2015/1026 edition of Scienza Attiva is carried out with the support of the University of Turin and the cooperation of about 50 researchers from many Italian universities and Research Centres. Furthermore, this year the project involves the business world too, with the support of Iren S.p.A (Italian Regional Energy Supplier) and some experts from that group, who are already working in schools on many environmental education and sustainability initiatives.
The event will be broadcasted online on Unito Media. (www.serviziweb.unito.it).

On the occasion of the eleventh edition of Paratissima, IAAD presents the YOUNG CREATIVE TALENT NIGHT contest.
On Friday, 6th November 2015, from 7 pm to 9 pm, 10 young selected designers will face each other and compete presenting to the public a series of projects based on the theme of the event: “Order or Chaos?” .
Rather than give an answer, students are expected to analyse and understand the relationship between these two apparently opposite concepts. Without order there is no chaos and without chaos there would be no order: this connection is the basis of the universe and, even though on a small scale, it plays a key role in the creative process too.
This is what the talent of a designer is measured by: its ability to translate the chaos generated by the so-called brainstorming into something tangible, which can be used as a target and is therefore able to communicate.
The selected students will present ambitious ideas that do not choose between order and chaos, but who can summarize the chaotic principle of ideas translating it into an innovative project created outside the conventional schemes that can generate order.
And therefore chaos.
On Friday 6th November at 2 pm the European Institute of Design of Turin will host the presentation of the first three years of activity of the Rivoli2 Foundation, which was instituted with the purpose of promoting, documenting and experimenting the expressions of creativity and to give the different languages a chance to find a connection point in its area.
Taking place at the same time as Artissima and the events of ContemporaryArt, this meeting increases the cultural offer of the city, which will host the most groundbreaking art galleries in the contemporary Art scene during those days.
The meeting, with free admission, will be held by Alberto Mugnaini, historian and art critic, Giandomenico Di Marzio, journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper Il Giornale, from Milan, and Riccardo Balbo, director of the IED (European Institute of design) of Turin.

Exhibition of the works by Attilio Taverna
Sala delle Colonne, Castello del Valentino – Viale Mattioli 39, Torino
Attilio Taverna’s exhibition, called “math-art: doppia vita della luce”, will be open to the public from 3rd to 20th November at the Castle of Valentino (opening on 3rd November 2015 at 5 pm).
Almost fifteen years after the last esthetic-scientific provocation, represented by the optical and perceptive experience, Taverna’s research revives today the bet on the fruitful bond between arts and science, with an elaboration that reinvents the pictorial language of abstraction in the light of the contributions given by the quantum physics.
Taverna’s research, which has already received important awards in the international scientific field, can represent a good chance for contemporary art, which is, now more then ever, looking for new directions. This is the argument pursued by the DIST (Interuniversity Department of regional and urban studies and planning of Polytechnic University and University of Turin) and the DISMA (Department of mathematical sciences “Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange” of Polytechnic University of Turin) departments, the creators of this exhibition, through the explication of interdisciplinary languages between arts and science.
