Flux is a collective born in Milan in 2019 that invites DJs, producers, artists, and performers who share a desire to offer audiences a cultural experience based on circular communication, active participation, and immersive aesthetics. The collective was hosted by BASE as part of the Estate di BASE program, where Flux brought its eclectic soul, an interweaving of music, performance, and visual art that knows no barriers of genre or aesthetic.

TUTTA BASE 09/06​​
Centro Benessere introduced an illustrated and performative path projected by two emerging artists, Francesca Balsamo, and Nicola Bianco. The works were based on a research of aesthetics that are not superficial, but that aim to rethink the basics of an exhibition as an area dedicated to reflection on the contrast of fear and well-being, at the service of an emancipated audience.
NO ROOM FOR EFFORTLESS CONVERSATIONS 30/06
Pessima presented 'No room for effortless conversations', a large-scale flag designed by the duo composed of Simona Coltello and Marte Gastaldello. The surface of the flag was written with a well-defined code used to communicate to people that they are entering a safe space where their identity will not be questioned or questioned. In this installation, the text was no longer entirely legible, but between the folds of the fabric another function of the object was activated: halfway between theatrical scenography and habitable place, the flag was transformed into a house. Resting on the pre-existing structure of the stage near the bar, it defined a new spatiality open to the sharing of experiences. A queer and active space, inside which it was possible to enter and open to one's transformative potential through a series of actions including a talk, an open mic, and an audio installation.

SENZA FINE 08/09
Senza Fine presented the works of Davide Barberi, Elisa Ceneri, and Nat Polvani that were invited to reflect on their relationship with the planet and the territory. The installations encouraged the spectators to rediscover their surroundings through a curious and intimate lense.
