Three months after the Summer School, participants gathered again in Bergamo for the Autumn School (20–26 October 2025): an intensive week in which the energy built up in July found direction. The exploratory, collective work of the summer phase gave way to a more focused, project-by-project engagement, with an eye to the public presentation at TONO Festival 2026.

The days alternated between individual consultations — each artist–composer pair with their own tutors — and moments of shared work and masterclasses reserved for composers. The goal was not only to refine each individual project, but to help each pair find its own language: a synthesis in which the visual and sonic components do not merely run alongside one another, but shape each other.

At the end of the in-person week, the work continued in hybrid form: independent development at each participant's home institution, with periodic remote review sessions. Each project went through multiple cycles of revision — refining the compositions, developing the visual works, and defining how the two languages would be installed and made to coexist within the exhibition space.

This period represented the productive heart of the project: the moment in which the insights that emerged during the theoretical research and the Summer School were translated into finished works. The result — thirty-one interdisciplinary projects — was presented to the public from 12 to 15 February 2026 as part of →︎ TONO Festival, across three venues in the heart of Bergamo.
