CV

Bio & info

I am an Italian new media artist based in Rotterdam. My practice centers around CGI-based visual storytelling, presented through video installations and 3D-printed materializations. My work is grounded in a research-based approach, where I combine critical thinking with an intuitive and experimental use of digital techniques.

I focus on the internalization of technological processes within the contemporary data-driven landscape and the psycho-cultural impact we face as late capitalist subjects. Especially how individuals are subjected to interpretation, labeling, and representation through digitization and processes of self-optimization. I am drawn to 3D CGI imagery, captivated by the magical quality of constructing immersive digital scenes and equally fascinated by the illusion of boundless creative freedom and the constraints imposed by software limitations and machine power.
