From December 4, 2025 to January 4, 2026,
Intelligènzæ, a multimedia and interactive exhibition that takes the public on a journey through neuroscience, evolutionary biology, animal, plant and digital intelligence, comes to life in the spaces of the State Archives of Turin. The itinerary, divided into eight rooms, combines scientific popularization with a strong narrative and scenographic framework, promoted by the
Ferdinando Rossi School of Advanced Studies - UNITO and the
Educating Future Citizens network under the patronage of the City of Turin. The project was developed by
Taxi1729 in collaboration with researchers, scholars and designers from the world of science and design.
For
Saglietti Group, experts in custom exhibits and displays,
Intelligènzæ was a unique opportunity to transform abstract concepts into physical, playable and tangible devices, combining engineering, design and craftsmanship in every detail.
An immersive, technical and sartorial project
The exhibition itinerary is the result of collaboration with high-level interdisciplinary figures:
-
Vincenzo Guarnieri, chemist and science communicator, who specializes in transforming complex content into comprehensible and engaging experiences.
-
Stefano Grande, architect and founder of
Arsenali Digitali, with experience in scientific exhibit design, lighting design and interactive space design.
-
Diego Rizzuto, physicist, who helped make complex scientific concepts clear and enjoyable.
The teamwork enabled the integration of science, design and storytelling in a harmonious way, with a highly technical and tailoring approach.
Key elements of staging
Room 6 - The "T" of the ants
Central element dedicated to collective intelligence, made in three parts of 1 × 1.98 meters, 40 cm high. Tailored red faux leather upholstery, high-density sponge and technical tape handles ensure transportation, assembly and stability.
Room 7 - Shelves for "mindless" intelligences.
Shelves designed for plants, fungi, molds and microbes, with ayous frames and birch plywood tops. Distinctive detail: yellow passivated screws left exposed that become part of the visual language.
Room 8 - Esposit's Cubotto
Modular interlocking mountable chairs, lightweight and stable, ideal for moments of pause and reflection, customizable according to the visual identity of the exhibition.
Red wire and 3D pin
A red thread guides visitors from one room to the next, made possible by custom-designed and engineered 3D-printed pins for strength and precision.
Other technical elements
Sloping shelves for joysticks, shelving for the Turing Test, bridging elements for the "rubber hand," technical shelf for the projector: all custom-made following the exhibition's narrative layout, ensuring visual and functional consistency.
Brandpathy: translating complex concepts into concrete experiences
The project demonstrates how
Brandpatia 's philosophy can be applied to the scientific world as well: not just displays, but true sensory experiences that make abstract concepts immediately understandable and immersively engage the visitor.
Special thanks
Sincere thanks:
to
Taxi1729, for trust and constant dialogue;
to our Exhibit Sales Manager
Federico Verdi, for impeccable technical coordination;
to designer
Davide Di Polito, who engineered the most complex elements, transforming concepts into fully functional objects.
