ARTS AND SCIENCE
These collaborations between artists and scientists offer enormous potential for possibilities and applications to open new avenues of research and help understand the mysteries of the human mind.
For Veronica Antonelli, this original approach is part of UNESCO recognition. It is also an opportunity to give another dimension to one's art, the fruit of long studies and years of research, and to contribute to science in a unique and significant way.
Since 2022, the fruit of years of research and experimentation in different sound universes has naturally led the CNRS to take an interest in the observations of the atypical performer Veronica Antonelli who preferred large spaces to opera houses that had become too narrow to express his art.
Tests were carried out in Aix-en-Provence then at Prism in Marseille on projects which question and invite us to better understand the links between the human voice, the brain, music, and cognition.
Two research subjects are being carried out simultaneously: the structure of acoustics based on the perceptions of the soprano on the one hand and inter-species interaction on the other.
Then on June 20, 2024, the CNRS traveled on the unique route of Montmartre Enchanté and explored two gardens in particular: the St Vincent wild garden thanks to authorizations issued by the Paris City Hall on the one hand and the gardens of the St Pierre church with authorization from Father Alexandre.
A project that brings together two structures: La Touche Enchantée and the CNRS.
L’invisible est perceptible – Quand la science rencontre la voix chantée :
Plongez au cœur d’une expérience unique où science et art dialoguent.
Le chercheur Thierry Legou (CNRS – Aix Marseille, Labo Parole et Langage) et la soprano Veronica Antonelli, créatrice du concept des Monuments Enchantés, unissent leurs expertises autour de la visite chantée de Montmartre .
Episode qui concerne le Jardin Saint-Vincent et le Jardin de l’église Saint-Pierre face au Sacré-Coeur.
🎶 Objectif : révéler comment l’invisible devient perceptible à travers l’acoustique, l’environnement, l’interaction de la voix humaine avec les autres espèces vivantes comme les oiseaux, et matérialiser la pollution sonore de la ville.
👉 Une restitution inédite d’études où la voix se fait passerelle entre patrimoine, science et nature.

✨ Un voyage sensoriel et scientifique qui redonne à la voix sa puissance universelle.

The Invisible Becomes Perceptible – When Science Meets the Singing Voice
Dive into a unique experience where science and art enter into dialogue.
Researcher Thierry Legou (CNRS – Aix-Marseille, Laboratoire Parole et Langage) and soprano Veronica Antonelli, creator of the Monuments Enchantés concept, combine their expertise around the singing tour of Montmartre.
This episode focuses on the Saint-Vincent Garden and the Saint-Pierre Church Garden facing the Sacré-Cœur.
🎶 Objective: to reveal how the invisible becomes perceptible through acoustics, the environment, and the interaction of the human voice with other living species such as birds, while also making urban noise pollution tangible.
👉 An unprecedented presentation of studies where the voice becomes a bridge between heritage, science, and nature.

✨ A sensory and scientific journey that restores to the voice—the memory of humanity—its universal power.
