Multimedia projects and installations
Machina logotelica (2012): created for Logotel in the occasion of the Milano Design Week’s Fuorisalone event Making together, it is based on a 30-piece setup, with 10 radioclocks, 10 percussion and 10 hair-dryer harmonicas, and two old phones. The background loop by radio is stopped when the audience hang on one of the two phones. The phones react to speaker’s voice by triggering a pattern in the two instrumental setup. In short, you play if you speak, and two users speaking together result in a duo.
Rumentario autoedule (2011): an installation using rumentarium and based on feedback. By means of microphones, the output of the rumentarium is captured, analyzed and used to drive the rumentarium itself. First time done in Frascati, Villa Aldobrandini, for the Quadratonomade preview event, then replicated in Como, for the Elettrosensi (2012) seminar cycle at Conservatory. Here‘s a video from Como.
