15 MARCH 2025 :: MUFANT TORINO :: LAUNCH OF RIZOSFERA TRANSMEDIA LABEL AND ODRZ 82 ALBUM LAUNCH

Presentation of the Rizosfera Transmedia Project and the Polymedial Album ODRZ 82 at MUFANT in Turin on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM – MUFANT Press Release to Follow

On March 15, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, the Museum of Science Fiction and the Fantastic of Turin (MUFANT) will host the presentation of the transmedia work *ODRZ 82*. The event will offer an immersion into the realms of industrial-noise and audiovisual experimentation, featuring a live performance by the ODRZ collective, the presentation of the Rizosfera Transmedia series, and a showcase of digital projects developed by students from the Cinema and Media Engineering program at the Polytechnic University of Turin.

*ODRZ 82* is an album by the Milan-based industrial-noise collective ODRZ, which transforms the physical and historical characteristics of six navigable artificial canals into sounds and rhythms. The album marks the debut of Rizosfera’s Transmedia series and will be released in March 2025, coinciding with the event, alongside a medium-length film that serves as an audiovisual extension of the project.

In 2024, *ODRZ82* inspired a Hackathon Transmediale organized by the Transmedia course at the Polytechnic University of Turin in collaboration with Rizosfera. This creative workshop engaged students in the development of public digital works that enrich the original concept through interactive interfaces and transmedia storytelling, expanding the boundaries of the work beyond sound and image.

The event on March 15 represents a unique opportunity to explore the transmedia work *ODRZ 82* through live performances, screenings, and interactive showcases:

– Live performance of tracks from *ODRZ82* by ODRZ
– Screening of excerpts from *ODRZ82 – Kaleidomentary*
– Presentation of the Rizosfera Transmedia series with interventions by Paolo Davoli, Paolo Bertetti, Elena Rosa Lavita, and Domenico Morreale
– Showcase of projects created by students from the Transmedia course in Cinema and Media Engineering

This event promises to be a groundbreaking exploration of sound, image, and interactive media, offering a glimpse into the future of transmedia storytelling. Stay tuned for the official press release from MUFANT.
