PRESENT IS THE NEW FUTURE – Menzioni speciali ✨ @___radicale___ indaga i confini tra arte e ricerca scientifica, esplorando scenari futuri e alternativi attraverso installazioni temporanee. La sua pratica artistica si concentra sulla morte e le relazioni tra specie, svelando paradigmi spettrali di violenza e trasformazione. Tra horror e postnaturalismo, il suo lavoro è stato esposto a Matadero Madrid, ArtVerona, BASE Milano e molti altri spazi. #OpenCall #FondazioneImagoMundi #DavideMarcianesi @zzzzz_project

Recontemporary presenta Tecno–ecologies: posthuman audiovisual explorations with TouchDesigner a cura di @giacomo_baccega e @mag_ma___ Il workshop indaga creatività ibride all’intersezione tra design visivo generativo, interattività e suono, adottando una prospettiva postumana. Il percorso laboratoriale, di carattere teorico-pratico, si articola in un incontro introduttivo, quattro moduli online tematici e una giornata conclusiva in presenza; si terrà in lingua italiana e/o inglese, a seconda della richiesta Il ciclo si apre con una lecture-panel in dialogo con @___radicale___ , artista e designer interdisciplinare. L’appuntamento è dedicato all’esplorazione di pratiche liminari tra ricerca artistica e scientifica, design speculativo e metodologie per immaginare narrazioni del – e insieme al – nonumano. È inoltre volto alla discussione e condivisione tra participantə. Gli incontri online esplorano linguaggi e tecniche in TouchDesigner – software per il design audiovisivo interattivo – e offrono alcuni riferimenti teorici all’intersezione tra discipline artistiche, archeologia dei media, studi sociologici e filosofie postumane. I moduli online sono: 1) Design generativo & data visualisation, 2) Motion tracking e immagini operazionali, 3) Visualizzare il suono e sonificare l’immagine, 4) AI: Narrazioni e biases. Il workshop in presenza, Synesthesia for non humans, è volto all’esplorazione di pratiche e metodologie di immaginazione e narrazione interspecie: verranno integrati e approfonditi microcontrollori, sensori e hardware obsoleto, come Arduino e Kinect. L’approccio privilegia la discussione partecipata e la sperimentazione diretta, favorendo la condivisione di metodologie e l’esplorazione collettiva di estetiche relazionali. info e iscrizioni → [email protected]

Honored to be featured on the 60th issue of @azimuts_revue , alongside many incredible contributors, with an inedited essay on Black Mass. Link in bio! 🦇 . . . With his article "Black mass" ("Batteries Active Materials Mixture"), interdisciplinary artist and researcher Davide Marcianesi focuses on the toxic – and composite – powder obtained during the recycling or recovery process of lithium-ion batteries: a chemical and cultural mixture, invisible and dangerous, where human and non-human bodies deal with modern narratives and materials in which nature is reduced to an exploitable resource.

Excited to announce my participation in "An Ecology Of Beasts", a collective bestiary curated by @common.index , which will take the form of an installation at Spazio TXT in Piazza Morbegno 5, Milan, on view through January 24th-25th. For the occasion, I will present a new work of mine that deals with ancient conflicts and bestiality. See you there! 🦇

I'm glad to announce my selection for the Nouveau Grand Tour 2025 by the Italian Institute of Culture in Paris. From September 8th to October 5th, I'll be taking part to a residency at Domaine de Boisbuchet (@boisbuchet ) in Lessac, France. More to come 🦇 . . . Fig. 1.

*Repost from @2050.plus * • In May, 2050+ presented 'Synthetic Cultures – Ch. 2', a video and research project on lab-grown meat, in the context of “My Body Is A Temple”, a group exhibition at the intersection of arts and critical technology studies curated by @carmen_lael_hines and @claragrillmaier (@neverathome ) at Funkhaus, in Vienna. 'Synthethic Cultures' was originally conceived for the 10th @architecturebiennale_rotterdam . • The site-specific installation unfolds across 3 interconnected environments. Room 1 (a space wrapped in semi-transparent pink latex) and 2 (an immersive soundscape) invite visitors to play with the illusion of having entered the interior of a body. Is it a human womb? A bovine one? Or an “artificial womb,” as bioreactors used in cultured meat production are sometimes called? Room 3 hosts the short film, which analyzes resources, bodies, and spaces from both technocratic and cultural perspectives, revealing their profound interconnections and imagining scenarios in which the implementation of cultured meat has had radical ecological and ethical consequences. On view through June 22nd. • Photos by @extrangeness , @pictureandform , @___radicale___ Synthetic Cultures – Ch. 2 Conceived and designed by @2050.plus (@sai_______i , @fralantieri , @___radicale___ , @ippopeste , @eripet , @massimotnn ) Script Editor: James Westcott; Video Editor: @_giorgiodemarco_ ; Voice-over: Caterina Yuka Sforza; Sound Designer: @ayce_bio Scientific Advisor: @newharvestorg (Dwayne Holmes, Richard Thyden) Interviewees: benwurgaft, Federico Campagna, @ingridnewkirk (@peta ), linyeezy (@thisismold ), Ionat Zurr and Oron Catts (@symbiotica.lab ), Dott.

NODULAR FATHOMING (2025) . . . How much do we know about the ocean? What's it like to inhabit the abyss? Can a rock be the savior of humanity? 'Nodular Fathoming' dives into such questions by addressing, overlapping, analyzing and displaying multiple perspectives—echoes of a delirious discourse that revolves around the extraction of polymetallic nodules from the seabed, and the consequences these processes bring upon the deeper ecosystem.

Achieving Humane Outcomes In Killing (2025) What happens when a bullet or a hook penetrates the flesh of a living organism? Referencing Warburg’s famous work Mnemosyne Bilderatlas, the artwork showcases a collection of images and schemes that portray radiographies of animals killed during human hunting sessions, either at land, at sky or sea. The violence visualized in this glossary serves as a reminder of the “humane” violence we continuously wield over other species.
