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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Cloud Nine is a structure designed to generate a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and color. The facility uses a highly engineered hidden, where the technology disappears and gives way to the natural magic of the body and light. A central computer manages a multiprojection video system, spatialized audio and motion sensors, making the experience truly… Read more →
