Chiantissimo. Contenitore di Arte Contemporanea is a contemporary art project spread across three areas of Florentine Chianti region, starting from San Casciano Val di Pesa – the epicentre of the project – to Greve in Chianti and Barberino Tavarnelle. Chiantissimo is organised by TerraMedia APS, curated by Davide Sarchioni, promoted and sponsored by the municipalities of San Casciano Val di Pesa, Greve in Chianti, Barberino Tavarnelle and the Metropolitan City of Florence, and is realised thanks to the support of Chianti Banca.

Within the project, Numero Cromatico presented Un flusso di onde brillanti (2022), an artwork conceived for the historical centre of San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI), with the aim of interacting directly with the everyday life of its inhabitants.

The installation consists of twenty flags and a banner, the former placed in the four main streets of the town, the latter placed on the clock tower. The flags contain verses that are part of the same poetic text. The artwork can be experienced in many different ways, depending on the path one decides to take.

The text is written with the help of S.O.N.H. (acronym for Statement Of a New Humanity), an artificial intelligence instructed by the artist to write texts about the future of humanity. The colours of the flags have been chosen to determine a neutral condition of vision, inviting the audience to focus on the construction of the poetic text and to explore the places of San Casciano in new and unusual ways.
