Haus Schwarzenberg is one of the last courtyards in Berlin that time has not touched. It is, in itself, a perceptual anomaly. And it is precisely this anomaly that provides the ground on which the installation grows. Beneath the entrance arch, a loudspeaker is hidden inside one of the letterboxes. It is not labelled. It is not explained. It transmits,… Read more →
Second Brain is is an artificial life project that embodies the very essence of living systems—behavior, adaptability, and emotional expression—through the medium of light. The lamp operates as a dynamic, evolving entity, driven by advanced AI, and interacts autonomously with its environment to reflect and express complex emotional states. Just like a living organism, it learns, adapts, and evolves, responding… Read more →

In this project, which takes the form of both a performance and an installation, the substance I work on is not matter but energy. In fact, a wave is a perturbation that propagates, carrying energy but not matter, light is an electromagnetic wave that has oscillating electrical charges as its source, and the perturbation consists of electric and magnetic fields,… Read more →
The Phototron is a modular analog visual synthesizer designed for real time performances. As the result of years of experimentation and research on photonic modulators, has been developed using hacked scientific technology as an artistic medium. The synthesizer creates a wide range of imagery through purely electromagnetic manual operated manipulations, without the help of algorithms. With a Fluxus attitude… Read more →
This performance is an immersive audiovisual experience, using hacked scientific technology as an artistic medium. The analog visuals derive from an oscilloscope, which generate light from electromagnetic fields deflecting electron beams. These warm and organic images are transformed via computer vision into real-time motion data, which drive the generative sound system. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in the… Read more →
The Chaos Communication Congress is an annual conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club. The congress features a variety of lectures and workshops on technical and political issues related to Security, Cryptography, Privacy and online Freedom of Speech. The event takes place regularly at the end of the year since 1984 I installed in the lounge on the fourth floor… Read more →
The circular geometries recall the symbolic designs of the mandalas, which are found across all cultures. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention, as a spiritual guidance tool, and as an aid to meditation. It may represent the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically: a microcosm of the universe. Moreover it pursues the aim of giving creative expression… Read more →
The Chaos Communication Camp is an international, five-day open-air event for hackers and associated life-forms. It provides a relaxed atmosphere for free exchange of technical, social, and political ideas. On the opening night I presented the Cosmic Dust project on the external face of the Lichtpiraten’s dome. Thanks to BlinkenArea.org for the pictures. Read more →
Even a white rose has a black shadow Light sculpture This ongoing body of work explores the interactions between radiation and matter: whenever an electromagnetic radiation meets matter can occur different interaction phenomena. In particular, I found interesting the phenomena of optical diffusion and the light scattering, a wide class of phenomena in which waves or particles are deflected due… Read more →
I posted a video of a show made a few years before. This is an excerpt of the whole show that lasted about one hour. To my surprise was a huge success for a not so easy movie: more than 500.000 views in six months! For this reason we are planning to re-produce the show: who is interested can contact… Read more →
This work talks about us and our lives, considered as a data set, as generators of personally identifiable information, as objects of cluster analysis and sources for metadata matching algorithms. The vast amounts of data we create as we go through our lives, represents our actions, interests, intentions, communications, locations, relationships and behaviors. It’s aggregated by third party trackers looking… Read more →
A site-specific installation and an audiovisual performance. An exploration of the so called Apophenial phenomena as a starting point to extend the reflection on the organization and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment around us. The human tendency to seek patterns and connections in random information or meaningless data, could be considered as an… Read more →
Nekton is a light organism, an immaterial robot, a reactive object and a luminescent creature, floating in the empty spaces in between. It is made of fiber optics, symbol of information highways, capable of carrying large amounts of information encapsulated in a binary format, that return to the original pre-digital function of a waveguide or light pipe. … Read more →
A/V Performance: human operated laser rays, crystals and synthetic diamonds, arduino, ableton live. This audiovisual set utilizes crystal filtered laser light that emanates from modified laser projectors producing spectacular reflections that recall the aurora borealis.At the onset the body of light may assume the form of a neuron network or microbiologic visions transforming into supernatural flashes of lighting or deep… Read more →
We made a special edition of CiTiZEN KiNO, a tactical media night conducted by Dr.Podinsky from XLterrestials aboard the MS Stubniz in the Hamburg harbour, as a satellite event of the 30C3. On that occasion I was able to experience with flying screens inside that fantastic location. Read more →
The 30th Chaos Communication Congress (30C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society. For this special edition of the 30… Read more →
Dinamica Luce Dinamica Luce is a series of images taken during our dance performances, shots capable of fixing the illusion of disappearance, the dynamic light animated by the movement. Images seemingly abstract and intangible, but they are analog and material in their essence: analog is the medium, prepared by mixing the tailoring practice with electronic technology, material is the instrument, the… Read more →
This show focuses about the four natural elements. Four short pieces of dance presents our vision of water, air, fire and hearth: futuristic, abstract and bright. Every element is represented by a costume and a different character of dance. gaia (hearth): a couple of dancers moves away from an interlace of light, like primeval creatures hydor (water): a waterfall of liquid light,… Read more →
The Creative Apocalypse – 21-12-2012 @ Platoon Berlin / creative.arte.tv Cosmic Dust – video projection I have contributed in this big trans-media-happening to save the world with the Cosmic Dust Project. The end of a cycle that lasts 26,000 years requires a critical reflection on the organization of our society, our collective behavior, the use of energy’s resources. The continuous… Read more →
