For hydrophilic means the matter physics to bind with water.
In a broader sense, it shall mean the property of certain materials to absorb or retain water inside them or on their surface.
In its metaphorical meaning, the hydrophilic can be considered as the fundamental loving relationship between living things and the water.

The CasermArcheologica reopens its salt suspended in time and memory, with an exhibition | route that wants to accompany visitors to reflect on the relationship between the human being and the web of life of which it is part, by placing the water as a linking element among all the things of nature, the fluid interconnected between life and his place, like a fabric that unravels following the grating forms suggested by Nature herself.
It indicates as Zone habitation the region around a star, where it is theoretically feasible for a planet, maintain liquid water on its surface.
So, the Habitable Zone is simply the perfect place because those connections happen, making possible the awareness of the experience of life.

Central to the show, then, is the theme of metamorphosis, of transition and change, sharing and dialogue between different levels of languages ​​that characterize our age.
Also this year are involved in the project of cultural interaction between contemporary art and territory, the high school students of Sansepolcro, with an educational project curated by Alessandra Baldoni and Ilaria Margutti.

To Show at CasermArcheologica joins the project of interactive art installation WATER IS ALL, made, produced and supported by Claudio Ballestracci, Manolo Welcome, Giulio Accettulli and music by Marco Mantovani.
The work, made mostly with plastic bottles of recovery, it looks like a giant bottle abandoned as a rejection, specially designed to give the impression of being somewhat "underground".
Its dimensions allow a large number of users to enter simultaneously and pause there adapted for interacting with four fountains fully functional, inviting viewers to get closer to the water and reveal their most secret function: the approach of the user, devices Fountains suspend the flow of water and emit a melody line of a string instrument that sounds a certain score. The composition, original and dedicated, sounds complete only when all four fountains are active, and it is as if evoked, from the water, a string quartet.
The installation will be enjoyed every day from April 24 to May 3, 2015
