Exhibition 26 August until 19 September

Called Beyond Entropy: When Energy Becomes Form and sponsored by Digital Technology Solutions, RePower and Bersi Serlini, the project and symposium are set in the context of the urgent requirement of global energy and how this issue impacts on politics, economics and cultures across the globe.  In a world first, 24 leading artists, architects and scientists led by AA School architect Stefano Rabolli Pansera are pioneering an enquiry that fuses science, architecture and artistic collaboration to develop new ways of thinking about energy. 

Work created during the first year of the project, including giant self-balancing mechanisms, pedestals for displaying the invisible energy networks and a time machine will be on display at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore from 26 August until 19 September 2010.
