Multidisciplinary Psychosomatic Assessment for UX Design Evaluation
“In the mirror of the Wonder of Luca Giordano” was a multi-sensorial experience created in the gallery frescoed by Luca Giordano in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, in Florence; the project involved different disciplines and researchers. The entire experience was subjected to an impact analysis, combining principally psycho-physiological, qualitative psychological and neuro-physiological aspects. In most of the visitors who participated in the study the experience evoked a sense of pleasure, enjoyment, relaxation, lightness, space-time suspension, involvement and immersiveness. In many of the visitors, the devices detected changes in heartbeat with a stastically significant decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, demontrating that the impact of artwork in a multi-sensorial experience and in an augmented perception environment is a psycho-somatic impact. Our experience suggests that projects such as "In the mirror of the Wonder of Luca Giordano" could be a very useful tool for cultivating emotional intelligence and could be developed in museums alongside the more classical paths of fruition

Recording of Lelio Camilleri Quartetto for four-track tape. The piece is in three sections according to the ternary form ABA'. The sound material is composed of a series of modulated sinusoidal frequencies. In the first section, the material is used to create soundtracks that are organized with different durations in the four tracks. In the second section, the material, through transformations using several controls on the same frequency, gives rise to figurations with very variable frequency, timbre and envelope. The third section is a varied cover of the first and uses the same frequencies with different durations, timbres and envelopes

Recording of Lelio Camilleri's Tess In Stonehenge. The piece explores the relationship between fast sound structures and sounds with a longer duration and different types of envelopes. The sound equipment consists of filtered white noise bands, frequency modulated bands, and sound structures obtained by the control voltage technique
