Associazione Culturale Effetto Larsen Ets

We use relational art as an instrument for developing a sense of community.
We build and carry out projects that spark a sense of community among groups of people. Wherever there is the possibility to create or enhance connections, like at artistic festivals or within companies, we intervene.

In physics, Effetto Larsen, or the Larsen Effect, is the transmission and infinite amplification of a sound through the use of equipment in an audio system. For us, it is a metaphor for communication; actively engaging with thoughts, experiences and behaviors allows them to be effectively spread and reflected in communities. We believe in relational art as an instrument to intercept and respond to society’s needs, creating the space and time for individuals to live a collective experience. In this environment, it becomes possible to workshop alternatives, activate the imagination, and encourage people to explore new possibilities for themselves and their communities.
