Pinuccio Sciola, born Giuseppe Sciola, is a renowned Sardinian artist famous for turning stones into musical instruments, creating unique sculptural works called lithophones1. These basalt and limestone stones emit unique sounds when stroked. The Sound Stones are the result of precise carvings that release their inherent sonorous nature. Since 2016, part of the lithophones has been kept in the Giardino Sonoro, a museum house managed by the Sciola Foundation. This venue hosts cultural events and performances, which keep the artist's poetics alive and attract local and international visitors. Sciola's artistic vision is manifested through the Pietre sonore above all in a form of design intent that seeks to promote an open dialogue between the work and the public, breaking down all barriers. This peculiar characteristic of Sciola's art provides the foundation for the redesign of the Sciola Foundation and PS Museum sites, which aims to optimise usability and accessibility by all kinds of users. In fact, the sites are fundamental as they become the main touchpoints to receive valuable information on the artist's life and work, to consult the archive of works in the permanent collection and finally become a tool to purchase tickets online to access and visit the Sound Garden Museum. Through data collection by means of a survey, interviews and through comparison with other art and museum sites, the main areas of the Sciola Foundation and PS Museum (Pinuccio Sciola Museum) websites were redesigned with the aim of making the user experience more intuitive and at the same time accessible. Since the two sites of the Foundation and the PS Museum share several sections in common, they have been unified in a single homepage with a consequent hierarchical reorganisation of the contents in order to make navigation easier for the user. Furthermore, through the application of precise guidelines, issues for the accessibility of the site to users with disabilities were resolved. In line with Pinuccio Sciola's original vision of making his art usable and accessible to all, the website thus becomes a clear and direct touchpoint through which users can explore the fascinating universe of the Sardinian artist.
Pinuccio Sciola, all’anagrafe Giuseppe Sciola, è un rinomato artista sardo celebre per trasformare pietre in strumenti musicali, creando opere scultoree uniche chiamate litofoni1. Queste pietre di basalto e calcare emettono suoni unici quando vengono accarezzate. Le Pietre sonore sono il risultato di incisioni precise che liberano la loro natura sonora intrinseca. Dal 2016, parte dei litofoni è custodita nel Giardino Sonoro, casa museo gestita dalla Fondazione Sciola. Questo luogo ospita eventi culturali e spettacoli, che tengono in vita la poetica dell’artista e richiamano visitatori locali e internazionali. La visione artistica di Sciola si manifesta attraverso le Pietre sonore soprattutto in una forma di volontà progettuale che vuole promuove un dialogo aperto tra opera e il pubblico, abbattendo ogni barriera. Questa caratteristica peculiare dell’arte di Sciola offre le fondamenta per il redesign del portale della Fondazione Sciola e del PS Museum che mira ottimizzare la fruibilità e l’accessibilità da parte di ogni tipo di utente. I siti infatti risultano fondamentali poiché divengono i principali touchpoint per ricevere preziose informazioni relative al vissuto e operato dell’artista, per consultare l’archivio delle opere presenti nella collezione permanente e infine divengono uno strumento per acquistare online i biglietti per poter accedere e visitare il museo del Giardino Sonoro. Attraverso la raccolta dati mediante sondaggio, interviste e attraverso il confronto con altri siti di realtà artistiche e museali, sono state ridisegnate le aree principali del sito della Fondazione Sciola e del PS Museum (Museo Pinuccio Sciola) con l’obiettivo di rendere l’esperienza utente più intuitiva e allo stesso tempo accessibile. Dal momento che i due siti della Fondazione e del PS Museum condividono diverse sezioni in comune, sono stati unificati in un'unica homepage con conseguente riorganizzazione gerarchica dei contenuti al fine di rendere più facile la navigazione per l’utente. Inoltre attraverso l’applicazione di precise linee guida sono state risolte problematiche per l’accessibilità del sito a utenti con disabilità. In linea con la visione originale di Pinuccio Sciola di rendere la propria arte fruibile e accessibile a tutti, Il sito web diventa così un touchpoint chiaro e diretto attraverso il quale gli utenti possono esplorare l’affascinante universo dell’artista sardo.

Pinuccio Sciola, born Giuseppe Sciola, is a renowned Sardinian artist famous for turning stones into musical instruments, creating unique sculptural works called lithophones1.
