Two hundred synchronized beating hearts for the 2025 Artist Tree at the Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo, on display at the hotel on Via Ponte di Tappia until January 7. The installation, on a nearly 5-meter iron conical structure, is by the #CuorediNapoli collective, born from the New Technologies of Art School of the Academy of Fine Arts in 2014. Over time, the strength of the project has led #CuorediNapoli to become a true city brand, recognized by citizens through its symbol: the pixelated heart, conceived as a flexible and adaptable sign to different contexts, capable of transforming the city into a large shared sculpture. As usual, the hotel of entrepreneur Salvatore Naldi hosts the Christmas project, aiming and supporting year after year, for almost 20 years, groups or individual creatives who design the hotel’s setup. The #TANTICUORIUNUNICOBATTITO installation is a collective work that transforms the Christmas tree into a living, pulsating organism: about two hundred luminous hearts become a visual and rhythmic sign of union and connection. Each heart, though autonomous, synchronizes with the others, generating a unique universal and shared heartbeat. The heartbeat of all hearts originates from the WebFaro, the luminous sculpture located in the Spanish Quarters that has been serving as a physical translator and digital heartbeat counter of #CUOREDINAPOLI since 2018. From this central impulse, all signals that synchronize every other connected luminous device are sent out. Through the network, the WebFaro spreads a signal that makes all connected devices pulse in unison, multiplying relationships and making this collective vibration potentially activatable anywhere in the world.
