Visual artist born in Macerata in 1995, working across generative artificial intelligence, data, and multimedia installations. His practice transforms historical archives into layered visual experiences that explore memory, time, and landscape, addressing social and environmental issues through new media art. He collaborates with cultural institutions such as the Egyptian Museum in Turin and artists like Lazza, with his work featured in events like Milan Design Week and Graphic Days. He is also active as a trainer and consultant in the fields of AI and visual communication.
Invisible Ecologies is a project that stems from the desire to reflect on the relationship between humans and the environment through a symbolic and local case study: the interaction between the Arno River and the city of Florence. This relationship, layered over time, becomes a threshold for developing a broader reflection – scalable from the local to the systemic – on ecologically and technologically mediated ways of perceiving reality. Within this framework, observation is not viewed as a neutral act but as a technical and transformative process capable of generating operational abstractions. Taking the Arno – an ancient and ever-changing… – as its starting point, the project explores how the languages of measurement and speculation can coexist, generating new forms of knowledge and connection. No longer merely an object of observation, the river becomes a traversable surface, an expressive organism, a carrier of alternative ecologies. It is from this shift in perspective that the project proposes an affective methodology of observation and speculation.
The project unfolds in two chapters – Decoding Signals and Encoding Visions – each engaging with distinct epistemological languages. The first operates within what philosopher Yuk Hui, in his essay Recursivity and Contingency (2019), defines as "computational reason": computation as a method for constructing variables, and variables as a means of interpreting reality. In the recursive repetition of measurement, in the interplay of times, data, and levels, an excess emerges. Even when reduced to signal, the river resists being fully captured.
From this point, a second path opens: that of speculative reason, which does not reject data but exceeds it, traverses it, and bends it in order to imagine new ways of existing.
The project is promoted by Forma Edizioni and presented at the exhibition space Rifugio Digitale, realized with the support of MiC and SIAE as part of the "Per Chi Crea" program, and with the contribution of Publiacqua.
