The installation “Ode to Knowledge,” placed at the University of Milan in front of the statue of Saint Ambrose during the 2022 Salone del Mobile in Milan, suggested how, through study—represented by the LibriBianchi cube at the base of the sculpture—we can generate new, more elaborate, and organized thoughts in harmony with the planet. The perfect circle formed by LibriBianchi in a corolla shape leaves space to view the world through culture, with a new awareness.
The artists express themselves through large WhiteBooks installations that engage the public, addressing various themes: social issues, war conflicts, violence, including intraspecific violence. They propose culture as a means to raise awareness and escape indifference, thus becoming 'Artivism.'
