Kernel returns to Monza for the 2022 edition.
STAY KERNEL !
Kernel Monza /022 embraces for 10 days the monumental complex of the Villa Reale together with the Nanni Valentini artistic high school which is based in the ancient stables of the Villa and which had already hosted the Istituto per le Industrie Artistiche in the Thirties, linked to the history of the Biennali and Triennali of Monza and Milan. The route continues with the Boschetti Reali (royal grove), a green area that connects the Villa and its Gardens to the city, up to the historic center.
Visit the FESTIVAL MAP
Discover the Festival program and explore the city following the interactive map with GPS.
Allow access to geolocation and the compass to fully enjoy the Sound Safari experience: just put on the earphones and you can go.
As you move around the city you will find many sound projects to discover and information about the installations and partners of the project.
For Kernel, audiovisual mapping is an opportunity to involve artists in the interpretation of the same “canvas”, each developing their own work. The same architecture, the same facade, the same urban context are interpreted by the artists involved in a unique and personal way, through their language and style, to offer the public a different and innovative perception of reality.
Paradoxa is a journey through time that will allow us to see and experience different moments, projected onto the facade of the building. It is a time cycle with no beginning or end, into which we are transported – into the past, into the present, into the future and beyond.
It will show us an uncertain future that we do not yet know what it can bring us.
The building will be transformed by time leaps that will help us imagine our future.
We want the public to ask themselves the following questions: Can we change our future with our present actions? Can we change our present by traveling to the past?
Onionlab is a multidisciplinary studio that directs and produces audiovisual installations and exhibitions and works at the intersection of art, design and technology.

The public is invited into a meditative dream world, where abstract projections meet concrete forms and together form a visual reality. By using spatialized sound to enhance the experience, we make the project even more engaging, so that we ourselves can be part of this transcendental universe during the entire duration of the show.
Maxin10sity creations are the result of the passion and intensity of the group. Passion for projection mapping and intensity in finding new forms of creative design. Maximum intensity in artistic ideas, modern technology, award-winning expertise and international business.

Joy, cheerfulness, irony, sarcasm … love, restlessness, sadness.
Laughters are one of the curious paradoxes of our life, because they expresses complex and deep emotions that are difficult to narrate, with an immediate, instinctive and physical reaction.
RISE retraces the path of a character who confronts himself in the most absurd theater, life.
He is accompanied by his laughter, a reflection of his emotions, most of the time illogical, incomprehensible and elusive.
He laughs at us, or at them, maybe he laughs at himself.
The all-Italian collaboration between Onda and Delumen is based on a shared interest in research and experimentation with multimedia artistic contamination.

Interpreting the visual and sound language of the major artistic movements from the eighteenth century to today, from Neoclassicism to Pixel-Art, passing through Impressionism, Art Noveau, Pop Art and Optical, the video projections told with lights, colors, sounds and optical illusions, over two centuries of history of which Villa Reale was the protagonist and witness.

PIAZZA ROMA
Participatory light Installation
AreaOdeon with students of Monza and Seregno primary schools
A large illuminated “magic box” that shows the visual projects developed by over 1000 children from primary and nursery schools in Monza. The installation, made up of LED Wall visible even during the day, represents, by combining and intertwining the self-portraits made by the children themselves, an illustrated “ring-around-the-rosey” that speaks of diversity and inclusion.
The project is developed with the participation of the pupils of:
– Baby College e Junior College Bilingual School
– Scuola dell’Infanzia Giotto
– Scuola dell’Infanzia Mirò
– Scuola dell’Infanzia Modigliani
– Scuola Primaria Bachelet
– Scuola Primaria Dante
– Scuola Primaria De Amicis
– Scuola Primaria Salvo D’Acquisto

PIAZZA TRENTO E TRIESTE
Painé Cuadrelli
A sound portal transports the audience to the Chatham Islands (New Zealand). Environments, sounds from the antipodes and musical fragments are re-imagined and distributed in order to be explored and recombined by the participants as they move around the square. On the other side of the planet, on the Chatham Island, a twin portal diffuses the sound of Monza creating a connection between the two places.
Concept, project and sound design: Painé Cuadrelli
Recordings, editing: Mattia Liciotti
PIAZZA CARROBIOLO
Matteo Milani
A musical experience where the exploration of the human voice allows us to cross the darkest and most remote places of our memory. Composed exclusively for the Kernel Festival 2021, the female voice guides us on an unpredictable otherworldly journey full of harmonic nuances and extended vocal techniques, creating an invisible sound fabric that inhabits this enchanting corner of Monza. A virtual theatre that vibrates within a physical space.
Concept, project and composition: Matteo Milani – U.S.O.
Vocal Artist: Giovanna Ferrara
