    Virtual Reality (VR) is a technological tool traditionally used in psychology for clinical purposes or self-empowerment: a huge number of papers have documented the validity of treatments provided or supported by VR. Most of these have illustrated protocols for the treatment of anxiety disorders: from simple phobias (Krijn et al., 2007), to panic disorders (Botella et al., 2007), post-traumatic stress disorder (Gerardi et al., 2008), and generalized anxiety disorder (Repetto et al., 2009, 2013b; Repetto and Riva, 2011); recently, VR has also been effectively employed for stress management in a non-clinical population (Gaggioli et al., 2014)

    The Fifth Landscape and UNESCO cultural landscapes: art as an enabler of resilience in local communities

    The “Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato” (UNESCO, 2014a) and the “Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces” (UNESCO, 2013) are both cultural landscapes (UNESCO, 1992), internationally renowned for their outstanding production landscapes. Following its inscription on the World Heritage List (2014), the Italian site is experiencing a growing demand for mitigation of the critical visual issues caused by built elements dating from the second half of the 20th century (ICOMOS, 2014), as well as for the enhancement of areas of natural and visual interest, through artistic initiatives that are not always calibrated in terms of the quality offered. The concept of Fifth Landscape (Repetto & Aimar, 2021) is part of this perspective, which aims to use art as a bearer of resilience in local communities through the activation of the imaginary, thus bringing added value to territories in experiential terms. Following the twinning between the 2 sites established in 2019, cultural performances such as the “The vineyard: a universal mist, an ocean of curdled milk” installation in Bologna (Repetto, 2019), the “FU” night-time illumination of Chinese rice terraces (Repetto, Florian & Lo Giudice, 2019) and the “Embrace of Light” between Azheke and Grinzane Cavour (Repetto, Chen & Aimar, 2020) go in this direction. Moreover, art can bring economic benefits to the populations living in these sites, correlating the export of agricultural products to the imaginary that international visitors can associate with these cultural landscapes

    The Fifth Landscape: A Transdisciplinary Approach To interpreting Perceptual Landscape Transformations?

    Full text link
    The conception of “Fifth Landscape” (Repetto & Aimar, 2021) originates from the presentation ‘Fifth Landscape/Landscape 5.0’ held by Diego Repetto at the conference ‘Shaping the City: A Forum for Sustainable Cities and Communities’, ‘Culture for Sustainable Cities’ section, organised by the European Cultural Centre in 2018. It is a fresh implementation and evolutionary development of the concept of Fourth Landscape (non-profit association Quarto Paesaggio, 2013), and an homage to Gilles Clément’s well-known Third Landscape (2004). If Clément defines the ‘Tiers paysage’ [Third Landscape] as “... made up of all the places left behind by man” (Clément, 2004:1) and exhorts to consider the “... the inherent mechanics of the Third Landscape - as an engine of evolution” pointing out the necessity to “teach the engines of evolution ...” (ibid., 24), subsequent elaborations derive their substance from this evolutionary nature and reworking of the landscape waste. Indeed, the Fourth Landscape uses art as an engine to stimulate citizens participation in the reflection on the meaning of the suburban landscape and their role in this re-appropriation and re-interpretation, as the urban landscape is also a common good (CR Florence Foundation, 2018)

    The Fifth Landscape: Art in the Contemporary Landscape

    No full text
    At the Shaping the City conference organised by the European Cultural Center at the 2018 Venice Biennale, the concept of the Fifth Landscape (or Landscape 5.0) was exhibited for the first time. Thanks to creativity, the goal is to experiment with spaces for the sake of social and cultural imagination, in which it is no longer just a question of architecture but of dreams and social imagination. “Ideal” spaces are related to their impact on the architecture, art and human hopes. In the Fifth Landscape, the contemporary prefers the moment of the artistic gesture that will be remembered but that is not relived in everyday life. Temporary installations in urban centers and open spaces become an occasion for new uses of the different environments, such as living them in a completely new way with novel prospects for the future. If the First Landscape is the managed forest, then the Second is the cultivated field. The Third is the abandonment of places at the hands of man, according to Gilles Clément, and the Fourth is where art is used to counter urban degradation and solitude. The Fifth Landscape is generated by temporary works that, catalysing territorial force, stimulate people to live in the environment in a new way, making it dreamlike. The strong emotional impact on the collective memory transmits, in addition to the true meaning of the work, a sense of uniqueness of the moment that one is experiencing. New visions of landscapes are provided to the community, in which art, architecture, design and nature are confronted using environmental sustainability and the landscape itself as themes. What influences will cultural dematerialisation have on the landscape? How will the sense of beauty in the future society be transmitted and realised? If it is, through which artistic and ephemeral gestures will it appear? Helped by virtuous and suggestive artworks among which Vesuvius by Diego Repetto, Illusion by Alberto Timossi and ARTgo by Diego Repetto, we try to answer the proposed questions, thus understanding more about the potential future perception of the landscape in a continuous search for beauty
