“You can make music with any instrument.” This is the challenge that was launched by Paolo Gatti to the children in Class 5D at the Istituto comprensivo Tullia Zevi Primary School in Rome, coordinated by Prof. Daniela Corallo.

Over the course of the lab held at the Roman school, the artist worked with the young musicians on melody, harmony and rhythm. The result was the “Lights: ON” performance that opened the last day of the Rome Media Art Festival (April 27-29).

In the video, Paolo Gatti explains how he organised the work to prepare for the performance at the Maxxi.
