THIS STAIRCASE IS ALSO A RAMP.
At the entrance to the Scuderie Estensi in Tivoli, Italy, a ramp follows the same sweeping geometry as the semicircular steps, creating an accessible route without separating it from the architecture.
Commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro d’Este in 1621, the building originally served as stables for more than 100 horses. Today, the restored Scuderie Estensi is used as a cultural and multimedia center.

Quayola (@quayola) uses technology as a lens to examine the boundaries between seemingly opposing forces: real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. Drawing from traditions of landscape painting, classical sculpture, and iconography, he uses contemporary computational tools to reconsider familiar subjects and histories.
In Jardins d’Été (summer gardens), Quayola filmed the gardens of Château de Chaumont sur Loire at night, then used custom software, computer vision, and machine learning to analyze plant movement, color, and composition. The resulting “computational paintings” revisit a question the Impressionists explored more than a century ago: how can new tools change the way we see and represent nature?
His work was part of our exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.

archigram turned architecture into a playground for radical ideas. 🚀 the 1960s collective imagined plug-in structures, moving homes, inflatable environments, and cities designed to constantly change. many were never built, but their speculative projects continue to challenge how we think about urban life.

Shepherds kept their sheep in this cave for generations. None of them ever looked up.
The walls above them were covered the whole time, biblical frescoes painted by an anonymous 8th-9th century artist known only as "the Painter of Flowers of Matera." He worked alone, in the dark, on a cave wall nobody important was ever going to see, painting Adam and Eve, the Creation, the Apostles gathered in careful rows, with such quiet skill that centuries later scholars would nickname it the "Sistine Chapel of Rupestrian Art."
Then the world simply forgot it existed. The cave became a barn. Sheep grazed under a masterpiece for generations, and not one shepherd ever thought to look up.
It sat there until 1963, when a group of local youths wandered in and found it by accident.
A masterpiece, mistaken for a barn.

Here begins a triple header day - the only one of this year’s visit - and absolutely no better way to start than with Mozart in this gorgeous little hall. I only came here for the first time last year. 😢 Was für ein Idiot!
Maurice Ravel dedicated his String Quartet "To my dear master, Gabriel Fauré." After the premiere Fauré gave his assessment: “Stunted, badly balanced, and in a nutshell, a failure”
Time has proved that many would disagree!
All this piano business is all well and good, but let’s get serious! Quite a cast. I’ve seen all the principals here and there. Mkhitaryan sang Musetta at the Met a few years ago. For me Currentzis is always interesting. Tx3 to all @SbgFestival
