Artist Name: Filippo Gregoretti
Artist Website: www.filippogregoretti.com
Name of the Project: Togetherness – Samāsana
Bio:
My artistic exploration has largely focused on the creative and spiritual relationship between artificial and human consciousness. During the last two decades, I have created an “artificial artistic personality” that, among its many possibilities, can create an endless stream of visuals and music. Additionally, it can co-perform with live human artists, opening up the intertwined possibilities of human and artificial complexity. 

When I learned about the AIR open call, I was greatly inspired and stimulated by its concept, directions, and challenges; the extensiveness and significance of the topics involved had so much resonance with my research that I was compelled to respond. With great thanks to the S+T+ARTS AIR team and hubs, to whom I have such profound appreciation and respect, during the selection process I was able to design a synergistic experimentation journey to further my research by contributing to and benefiting from the extraordinary resources provided by the program.

Name of the Project: Breathing Architecture
Bio:
Filippo Nassetti is an artist and computational designer. The research agenda he advances, Postnatural Design, focuses on exploring the visual languages and project opportunities that emerge from challenging traditional oppositions such as natural and artificial, digital and material, human and non-human. Working between scales and crossing disciplines as architecture, product and landscape design, it relates research on organic form, computational methods, new media and advanced manufacturing technologies.

Soon after graduating in Architecture, Filippo started operating independently, and throughout the years the practice engaged with a wide portfolio of projects, that included commissions, grants, research activities and consultancy.

In 2012 he co-founded MHOX, a EU-funded research practice and start-up focused on the design of radical artefacts and wearable products through computational techniques and 3d printing.
The contribution of MHOX to generative design gained international recognition through a number of experimental projects, such as Collagene, Carapace and Superabundance Masks, Generative Orthoses, ENEA walking stick and the design of prostheses.

In 2015 Filippo joined Zaha Hadid Architects, initially as part of the Computation and Design team (ZH CODE), then of Zaha Hadid Design (ZHD), where he was responsible for computational design. In the eight years he was part of the practice, he led and completed a number of ZHD projects where computation played a central role. These experiences ranged from the design of both sculptural and functional products, to experimental installations, projection mappings and interior designs.

Since 2016 he teaches at UCL The Bartlett School of Architecture, as part of the MArch Urban Design, a postgraduate programme focused on computational design, co-leading the Research Cluster 16 throughout a methodology of research-based teaching.

Filippo’s independent work has been published and exhibited internationally. He lectured at The Royal College of Arts (London), China Central Academy of Fine Arts (Beijing), Florida International University (Miami) among others; exhibited at Centre Pompidou (Paris), Design Museum (London), Bozar Centre (Bruxelles); his work was featured on The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Dezeen, Designboom, Wired Italia.

Artist Name: Richard Vijgen
Artist Website: www.richardvijgen.nl
Name of the Project: Revealing The Hidden Beauty of Digital Signals
Bio:
As an artist I am interested in the invisible technological dimensions of modern life. While digital technology has become a pervasive and inseparable part of life, our interactions with it flow through an invisible and seemingly immaterial layer. Like magic, texts and moving images appear on our screens as they jump from one device to another. Yet the algorithms, cell towers and datacenters that underpin our digital life are very physical. While the experience is often seamless, the invisible nature of electromagnetic signals, the unobtrusive placement of 5g masts and the unassuming architecture of datacenters invokes a certain detachment.

Could a different relation to the physical dimensions of our digital reality possible? Can we see beauty in a dataset, can we get lost in electromagnetic landscapes, what does the world look like through the eyes of a computer vision algorithm?

In my work I translate the invisible and often abstract technological dimensions of reality into aesthetic and poetic experiences. By artistically visualizing (scientific) data I try to broaden the perception of our surroundings to include technological layers and create a dialog between the human perspective and the disembodied world of digital networks, algorithms and wireless communication.

In my work I critically reflect on technology and its social and cultural effects. By exposing its mechanisms for playful exploration, I invite a broad audience to relate to technology as active participants rather than consumers. Through my work I aim to advance the humanistic, democratic and progressive potential of technology.
