FROM SOUND TO MATTER
For two consecutive years, Wanderlust Vision has conceived and curated Imola Ceramica’s projects during Milan Design Week, exploring ceramics through immersive, sensory, and participatory experiences that expand the material’s expressive potential.
Imola Ceramica – Design Week 2025
The 2025 project explored light, time, and natural processes through the cyanotype technique, referencing Imola Ceramica’s iconic symbol—the bee, emblem of making and creating. Wanderlust Vision designed a custom UV light oven to develop the cyanotype prints, allowing visitors to actively participate by creating ceramic tiles.
The designs featured a curated selection of flowers favored by bees for pollination, while elements inspired by hives and honeycombs structured the space. A live WASP 3D printer produced ceramic vases inspired by beehive geometries, reinforcing the connection between nature, craftsmanship, technology, and transformation.
Imola Ceramica – Design Week 2024
The 2024 installation investigated the relationship between sound and matter through an interactive environment where ceramic objects, acoustic instruments, and digital systems converged. A highly immersive setup, defined by bold colors and controlled lighting, guided visitors from an entrance illuminated by special lights that neutralized color perception - turning the space monochromatic yellow - to focus attention on sound as the project’s core element. Inside, auto-generative music, robotic solenoids, and responsive visuals created an evolving dialogue between analog and digital, inviting visitors to actively shape the soundscape.
