UNCOVERING THE MEDITERRANEA SALT GIANT (MEDSALT) COST ACTION CA15103(2016-2020)
In COST Medsalt the role was to disseminate of the project on the salt giant on the Mediterranean seabed through artistic expressions. The sea salt crystal was chosen as a vehicle to communicate the project.
The knowledge about the sea salt crystal was communicated through three short videos: Cosmos in the sea salt crystal, Life in the salt crystal and Sea salt crystals in space. The contents of the videos visualize the geometries of the salt crystal, the life inside it and the hypothesis of the presence of the salt crystal in the Universe.
Finally, the video The Universe shines in the salt crystal was created to express the strong bond between salt and man in the cultural landscape of the salt pans.
The role of intermediary between researchers and artists requires knowledge of both science and artistic language and the ability to dialogue and interact.
