GIANLUCA IADEMA

I’m beyond happy to share that my artwork ever.rave, originally developed as a multimedia performance together with @lorydust and @deltacut , has been selected for the Future of Humanity Art Walk during @worldeconomicforum week 2025 in Davos, where it will be presented as a movie. Dreams are central to the dramaturgy. The boundary between the dreamer—whether human or artificial intelligence—blurs, creating a hallucinatory, multi-layered narrative. We imagined what the world’s dream might be, and by extension, the dream of music, as if we had never seen or heard it before. This concept transforms the space into a liminal zone where dreams are not just individual memories but also reflections of society’s darkest and most intricate aspects. Artificial intelligence is envisioned not just as a tool but as a space for rethinking humanity, the world, and our identities

@seeyousoundfestival it was great! ❤️‍🔥 Grazie a @lorydust per questa incredibile avventura, per aver creduto in un progetto così ambizioso e per non smettere mai di guardare al futuro. Grazie a Davide Santini (@deltacut ) per la preziosa, continua e inarrivabile collaborazione. Grazie soprattutto a festival e a tutto il suo team, in particolare modo ad Alessandro (@peacedrome ), per aver reso possibile questa esperienza. “It's like I'm falling through the cracks of my own life. I feel like I'm lost in an unknown space, my path undefined. My voice sounds distant and muffled. Everything is full of holes, including myself. I'm just searching for a way out, a way to find my way back to the surface.” Grazie inoltre a @somasynths per aver sviluppato uno strumento dalle mille risorse come la #pulsar23. #audiovisual #electronicmusic #liveperformance #techno #artificialintelligence #touchdesigner

UN_I[N]VERSO x MaterIA in occasione della Milano Design Week 2025 ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Gianluca Iadema, in occasione di MATER IA, mostra ospitata nello Spazio Caradosso, ha presentato UN_I[N]VERSO: opera site-specific che integra suono, video, sculture metalliche, luce e ombra. Il progetto nasce dal desiderio di esplorare il concetto ampio di materia, tra concretezza e trasparenza, con l’obiettivo di creare un sistema in cui diversi tipi di media si fondono tra loro.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ MaterIa, mostra curata da Chiara Massimello e orchestrata dall’architetto Lorenzo Giubergia, ha presentato i lavori dei fotografi Per Barclay e Daniele Ratti, dell duo Gioberto Noro e dell’artista Gianluca Iadema.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 📸 @danieleratti / @_iadema

Visual observations for Phasing back within - audiovisual work. The video originates from the research developed in Phasing Back Within, which investigates sound as a material trace, something that can be stored, sedimented, and reactivated within organic structures. Building on this premise, the work explores the possibility that trees function as involuntary recording devices, their internal fibers preserving residual acoustic information over time. A cross-section of a tree trunk becomes the primary site of analysis: a dense archive of latent vibrations, where sound persists as a form of embedded memory. Through computational processes, this sonic residue is extracted and interpreted. An AI system attempts to reconstruct the acoustic identity of a lost or unrecorded culture, translating fragments of sound into coherent patterns. From these patterns, sometimes directly from their waveforms, spatial configurations begin to emerge, suggesting the outlines of architectures and entire urban environments. The video situates this process within a fictional extraction site where, instead of petroleum, sound is mined from trees, conceived as an extension of the research rather than a metaphor. As the discovery unfolds, the system begins to speculate beyond the available data, generating a detailed yet fictional history of a civilization that never existed, but remains materially and acoustically plausible.

Second batch of snippets. Still raw and in evolution. The Pulsar-23 @somasynths keeps opening unexpected spaces, rhythms bending into melodic contours, textures solidifying into structure, pulse and harmony constantly exchanging roles. The 16 tracks I originally planned are slowly becoming a few more. The process seems to be expanding on its own. I’ll soon share the visual material connected to the new AV performance. #techno #experiential #av #pulsar23

The materiality of music. Sometimes sound by itself isn’t enough to convey its own meaning, or what music means to me.

Back from Germany, filled with gratitude after setting up “From, maybe to” for the Animation-Installation Biennale in collaboration with Kukav Kulturkasten Verein. What does it mean to diffract a piano in order to reveal its transmedial nature? Next: CICA Museum, Gimpo, South Korea.

Happy to be part of this year’s @ibridafestival with my work “From, maybe to: prelude”. Huge thanks to @franleoni and @mastrangelodavide ! Grateful for the chance to meet inspiring people and amazing artists along the way.

I’ve been thinking for a while about producing a new album made entirely with the @somasynths Pulsar-23, but I haven’t yet had the chance to fully dedicate myself to it. Still, I’m on the way and wanted to share some ideas, even if they’re still quite raw. I tried to highlight the instrument’s unique qualities, where rhythmic patterns almost turn into melodic and harmonic profiles, and vice versa. I hope to finish this album, which I’ve titled Zeiträume, by the end of the year with all 16 tracks as originally planned. #techno #ambient #glitch #soma #pulsar23

Reassembling the sculptural section of “from, maybe to” for an upcoming exhibition in Germany, originally developed for the @barcelona_gallery_weekend 2024 at @suburbiacontemporary , with the invaluable help of @francesco.ozzola .

“In and out, however oneself”, my latest audiovisual work, inspired by the scientific exploration of dimensional physics and its relationship to memory. Within this framework, the work challenges the linear perception of time, the idea that time moves in a straightforward progression, by introducing a cyclical, multidimensional understanding of existence. At its core, the project speculates on memory not merely as a cognitive function, but as an autonomous entity, one that recalls, reconfigures, and realigns itself through spatial and temporal structures. It focuses in particular on how memory could metaphorically evolve into higher physical dimensions, expanding its nature beyond conventional human perception. the video explores the memory of music, how it recalls and attempts to reconstruct itself through the lens of musical objects like the piano and metronomes. These objects are not presented as mere tools, but as mnemonic architectures, physical forms in which memory resides, reverberates, and transforms.
