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.

Radura

Radura was born quietly.
From margins, from gestures shared without speaking.
From unlikely proximities between art, technology, and ecological thought.

It is not a lab, not a collective, not a fixed place.
It is a tension — a form that takes shape through doing, and unmaking.

Radura was born.
And it has started to move.

Interfacce Popolari Open Archive is back online
A living repository of materials, traces, and experiments — open for consultation, navigation, and reappropriation.

Limen - Una mostra-evento che esplora il confine come spazio di trasformazione.


I’m taking part in the collective exhibition Limen with the work Interfacce Popolari, on 01 March 2025 at Spazio Zephiro, Castelfranco Veneto (TV), Italy.



vecchie case sgretolandosi ritornano alla montagna ritornano vecchie case sgretolandosi alla montagna
     Il fango non vuole essere muro. Il legno non vuole essere trave. La pietra sa dove tornare. La materia sa, molto prima di noi.    
Lasciare sgretolare, lasciar tornare
Domandarsi sulla volontà della materia.
Ecologia della forma.
Le vecchie case non crollano,
stanche si liberano dell'architettura.
Restituire forma al disfacimento.
Dalla montagna al muro,
dal muro alla frana.
Il muro sa già come diventare muschio.
Forma e sparizione.
La tensione resiste fino a quando serve,
poi diventa sollievo.
