The unmoved mover is the cause of movement for the celestial sphere and the fixed stars, upon which all movements of the cosmos and the sublunary world depend—an eternity outside of time. Ultrapresent Studio draws on this reflection as the basis for curating the project Atto Puro (Pure Act), developed by the Lake Como Design Festival inside the Conservatorio di Como.
Terra Sole, Virginia Arlotto. Malcusa
Atto Puro involves the electronic music department and the Cosmos audio system, designed and produced in 2025 by Ultrapresent in collaboration with sound engineer Alessandro Buggio for a musical performance created to bring back a late-1970s work by Giusto Pio, produced by Franco Battiato, in a live format.
The sound experience reproduced by the Cosmos speakers in Atto Puro is the result of the work carried out throughout the academic year by the electronic music department. From September 12th to 20th an unprecedented scenography built around the briar root and brass audio speakers will welcome visitors to the organ room. Dresswall surfaces and the Terra Sole rug by Malcusa, designed by Virginia Arlotto, complete this ethereal space.
