Sensorama Exhibition at MAN Nuoro Explores Art and Illusion

The MAN museum located in Nuoro, Italy, is showcasing 'Sensorama,' a collective exhibition overseen by curators Chiara Gatti and Tiziana Cipelletti, which has been ongoing since 2022. This exhibition, inspired by Morton Heilig's 1957 virtual reality device, carries the subtitle 'lo sguardo, le cose, gli inganni, da Magritte alla realtà virtuale,' and explores the relationship between art history and perceptual illusions. It begins with a 1973 animation of Plato's cave, narrated by Orson Welles. Highlights include 'The ClockClock 2008-10,' avant-garde works from the early 20th century, short films by Georges Méliès, and contemporary pieces by Kensuke Koike and Marina Apollonio. A text by Baingio Pinna on epistemological paradoxes is also featured, alongside Florence Henri's self-portrait from 1937.
