I investigate the intersection of art, science, technology, and marginal territories, examining computational cultures, landscape ecologies, and collective agency. I approach computation as a fragmented, relational, and context-aware practice, deeply embedded within social and local fabrics. Rooted in technological degrowth and disobedience culture, 
my research engages strategies such as salvage, patchwork, and redundancy, rejecting linearity in favor of iterative and collectively negotiated alternatives of experimental knowledge. Through the development of multi-channel installations, I explore experimental models of (s)low-tech and benign computing that prioritize sustainability, accessibility, and the right to opacity in digital interactions. This approach embraces lightweight, adaptive, speculative, and relational forms of computation, reclaiming the capacity to build, break, and reassemble systems beyond commodification and centralization.

My educational background includes a master's degree in Cinema and Media Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. Currently, I am a PhD researcher at Kunstuniversität Linz. 
My interdisciplinary research is conducted in collaboration with the Interuniversity Department of Science, Project and Policies of the Territory and the Department of Control and Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, examining how technologies reconfigure placemaking practices, community infrastructures, and spatial computing.

In 2025, I co-founded the Radura collective, a research and open experimentation platform operating at the intersection of artistic practices, political ecologies, and emerging technologies in rural contexts.
