fuse*

At fuse*, I work as a system developer and software engineer, managing a broad range of technical responsibilities. These spaced from IT studio infrastructure, technical support to team members and client, as well as leading the technical implementation of interactive artworks. When designing real-time, interactive systems, I learnt to deliver solid assets while always keeping an eye to performance and robustness of software and hardware solutions. I also gained practical experience in live performance, serving as technical director and engineer for live shows.

Graphs & Networks

I've always been intrigued by how visualization can make hidden structures in complex systems legible. With Neuralight collective, I developed visualizations of StyleGAN's latent spaces, uncovering how generative models organize visual information. We presented this project at Milano Digital Week in 2023. Later at fuse*, I helped contextualize the Onirica dataset of 27,000 human dreams and designed the site's visualization layer, creating an intuitive interface to explore the hidden information architecture.

Data visualization

Over years I developed various data visualization systems, connecting different data (from physical sensors to online APIs). For example, with Neuralight we developed TR//EE, an installation about air quality in italian cities. It was presented at Club Silencio (Turin, 2021) and Dot Festival (Sicily, 2024).

Festivalle

I started my path in digital art at Festivalle, a jazz festival in Valle dei Tempi, Agrigento, Sicily. With a group of students, we managed the lightning system on the main stage of the festival (and in 2022, also the afterparty stage), which featured artists such as Kokoroko, Alfredo Rodriguez, Salvador Sobral, Nu Genea, Rita Payes, Karate, Marco Castello, Kamaal Williams and many others. The stage was designed by Studio Grizz.
