Abstract:

The research and analytical character predominates in this study. On the other hand, the study has its synthetic component, as it builds on the past ten years of the author’s participation in activities of Associazione internazionale mosaicisti contemporanei. On the whole, the study is interdisciplinary, moving between medical sciences, aesthetics of visual arts, urbanism, and architecture, and artistic issues specific to the art of mosaic as a form of visual arts. Starting with research and analysis, the study progresses towards aesthetic normativity; specification of this normativity is at the same time an analytical testimony of the era of the COVID-19 pandemic and an analysis of its unprecedented character. While research and analysis is the focus of the individual parts, the study as a whole is a thought experiment, which has been tested and partially verified at the international level, as the underlying line of thought is based on the author’s presentation entitled Estetica della crisi del coronavirus e l’arte del mosaico (Aesthetics of the Coronavirus Crisis and the Art of Mosaic) at the XVII AIMC congress (Ravenna, Italia, 10 – 11 October 2022).
