I investigate the intersection of art, technology, and marginal territories, examining computational cultures, landscape ecologies, and collective agency. My work explores the entanglements between digital systems and material realities, seeking to dismantle extractive paradigms and foster alternative, situated technological practices. Rather than a monolithic force, I approach computation as a fragmented, relational, and context-aware practice—convivial, regenerative, and embedded in social and territorial fabrics.

Rooted in technological degrowth and disobedience, my research engages with salvage, patchwork, and redundancy, rejecting linear progress in favor of iterative and collectively negotiated alternatives. I explore low-tech and benign computing models that prioritize sustainability, accessibility, and the right to opacity in digital interactions. This approach embraces lightweight, adaptive, yet speculative and poetic computation, reclaiming the capacity to build, break, and reassemble systems beyond commodification and centralization.

I advocate for an open, decolonial, and plural approach to technology—one that departs from universalist frameworks in favor of multiple computational imaginaries. Through artistic research, design interventions, and teaching, I aim to develop new epistemologies of interaction, positioning technology as a tool for collective authorship, shared knowledge, and critical reworlding.

My educational background includes a master’s degree in Cinema and Media Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. I am currently a PhD researcher at the Kunstuniversität Linz. My research spans disciplines, collaborating with the Department of Science, Project, and Policies of the Territory and the Department of Control and Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino to examine how technology reconfigures placemaking, community infrastructures, and spatial computing beyond dominant narratives.
I work on multi-channel interactive systems, installations, and experimental interfaces that challenge conventional relationships between computation, environments, and the bodies that traverse them.
