18 July 2023 - 15: 13

The Mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt; the director of the CaixaBank Business Area, Carlos Colom; the territorial delegate of the 'la Caixa' Foundation in the Valencian Community, Lourdes Toribio; and the curator of the exhibition, Érika Goyarrola; have presented today Leonardo gives Vinci. Observe. Question. experiment, which brings us closer to his figure beyond genius, focusing on his most essential feature: his insatiable curiosity. With the organization of this traveling project, which began in 2019, the 'la Caixa' Foundation joins the commemoration of the fifth centenary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).

The exhibition will remain installed in the port of Dénia, next to the Museu de la Mar, from July 19 to August 29. The exhibition, which has the collaboration of the Château du Clos Lucé - Parc Leonardo da Vinci, a reference center for the knowledge and dissemination of his legacy, takes place in two spaces: inside, an audiovisual show that connects the thought of Leonardo with our day to day, games and augmented reality; and outside, four large models that faithfully reproduce some of Leonardo's most modern and prescient ideas.

In the interior space, visitors will be able to delve into the thought of the genius. An audiovisual projection, produced expressly for the exhibition, welcomes the public by presenting them with any day of our daily life inspired by the gaze of Leonardo.

Next, visitors will find themselves with seven interactive games —analogue and digital— with which they can play to understand, experiment to create, and discover, behind Leonardo's achievements in the most varied disciplines, the common denominator of intelligence and intelligence. sensitivity.

The interaction continues outside with the exhibition of four models that are faithful interpretations of original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, built with materials of our time: Aerial screw (sketch considered the first prototype of the helicopter); Vitruvian Man, study of the proportions of the human body; Flying machine, inspired by the flight of birds and Paddle Boat, a project with which Leonardo sought to increase the speed of the oars, reduce the number of men needed to move the boat and get more space for cargo.

Lastly, augmented reality makes an appearance in the exhibition with the free Leonardo CaixaForum application (downloadable in the Apple Store and Google Play Store), designed as an interpretation tool. Visitors, by scanning the QR codes that they will find in the exhibition, will be able to see what the models would have looked like with the original materials of the time (iron, wood, rope, leather, linen), and how their movements would have been just like Leonardo I had imagined them.

The 'la Caixa' Foundation has worked on the project for two and a half years before it was presented to the public. To make it possible, the work of a multidisciplinary team made up of experts in Leonardo da Vinci, architects, engineers, scriptwriters, audiovisual producers and specialists in design, multimedia game programming and augmented reality has been necessary.

    If Ruben also never sees an exhibition that is beautiful Dénia is full of botched jobs contrasting with the crap that is where you look, that's why we, the residents of Dénia, will never see these exhibitions even paying,

    What a bigger prick. They won't stop doing bullshit. It is a fact. They are filling the city with senseless papier-mâché, neither tradition nor culture. Between this and the tombstone they planted at the 'via train station', or the stinking garbage fish in the harbour.

    ENOUGH NOW! This is not the megapolis, nor the sims, you have loaded Denia. stop abuse
