The Che i muri siano portali (Let walls be portals) performance is presented as an ambient sound moment, in the form of a DJ set, where listening becomes an act of reflection on exchanges between entities that emit and receive sound, and on the possibilities of extending our sensory, emotional and perceptive capacities.

The moment of performance produces a continuum of sound through vibrations; an immaterial interaction between sound, audience and architecture that creates portals of affective exchange. The concept of affects, described by Spinoza and taken up in Steve Goodman’s book Guerre Sonore, considers emotional intensity not just as an individual matter, but as a collective dynamic that interacts with the mood of the environment and is reflected in the nervous systems of the recipients. Sound is an affective force that becomes a tool for creating an extended affective complex.
