Reconnecting with Ancient Wisdom
An experimental installation and experience focused on a ritual to reconnect with non-human beings such as microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, vegetals. This installation was realized within the School of Future Life at Bio Design Lab, HfG in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2022.
Cucina Nebulare
A speculative exploration into the invisible connection humans share with their microbial cloud.
The concept takes shape as a novel restaurant where it is possible to deeply engage with your microbial cloud.
The restaurant offers a unique dining experience based on a three-course menu.
(Future of Life school, at Bio Design Lab, HfG in Karlsruhe, with Matters of Activity, Germany in 2023)
Biocompanion and contemporary witchcraft
An art installation to lead a community to co-develop together with a bio organism, a Physarum Polycerfarum (or slime molds). Growing with a biorganism and learning the concept of care.
Bioart, biohacking and biomaterials
Beginner experimenting with human body elements such as hormones, bacteries and with fungi. Exploring bioplastics, algae and other organisms. (Biofriction, @Hangar, 2021)
Social / Relational initiatives
Swap party
Story and clothes sharing. A community event organized in Milan (Bovisa neighborhood) where people exchanged clothes, and accessories sharing stories related to them through an attached label. The remaining clothes were given to local charity.

A workshop for change makers to reimagine new organizations inspired by natural strategies. Organized within the festival of Immaginazione Meridiana in Andria, 2022.
La Maddalena sarà...

Che ci siamo filati di fare
An art installation to map warm data, measuring people's interactions with the cultural place, Pessoa Luna Park, Salerno.
lo-fi fabrication, interaction, wearables
Grip and Slip
The toy car becomes an educational tool for the Science Museum shop in Milan. Wheels are changeable to test the surfaces around. The character of ‘Friction’ is meant to be the strange Force present on each surface that stops things from moving on.
Swap tunnel
Lo-fi playground tunnel for children. A playground tunnel for children made of experimental material to play into and interact with parents through simple shapes and light. Exploiting the properties of that material, we folded in a cave structure and linked the borders with colored shoelaces.
Pomodoro Lamp
A Lamp that recognizes the darkness and switches on the light with the student’s presence at the desk and, based on the Pomodoro technique, divides study times into 25 minutes with 5-minute breaks. It comprehends a 3D-printed lamp, a laser-cut box, and electronics.
Fluo hat
Smart hat for correcting posture. Thanks to a microcontroller, the hat is sensitive to head inclination (accelerometer/gyroscope sensor) and reacts to it through LED lights combination (defining style: elegant, punk...) and vibration on the side.
