Ultra-Organs is a speculative sculpture that imagines hybrid organs between the human body, plants and microorganisms. Made using 3D printing and bioactive materials, it includes living elements and sensors that react to the environment. The work proposes a symbiotic medicine between nature and technology, going beyond the logic of repair to embrace an evolutionary and relational transformation of the body. Every 24 minutes a person dies in the world because of organ lacking; in the sculpture this data is represented through visuals and sound. The sculpture “is alive” for 12 minutes, to then “die”: when it dies one person dies in real life in the world, enclosing the Opportunity Lost. Ultra Organs wants to approach future but raising awareness on present solutions, like organs donation.

The starting point of Seedgraphy is the research project led by Dr. Christine Frison (Associate Research Professor at Uliège), which is engaged in the European Research Council Starting Grant project “DecoLawBiodiv”. The objective of the research is how to decolonise agricultural biodiverisity laws and to raise awareness on peasants communities and seed rights.
Seeds are living guardians of genetic information and they encapsulate the history of human civilization, but are increasingly endangered by climate change and decades of colonial agricultural practices.
The first output of the project took place at Here Be Dragons exhibition @luca.master.mind , that showcased the work in progress of the research. My medium, photography, needed to be brought into a more sustainable form, which happened to be anthotype. It is a very old and completely organic technique, discovered by 1839 by Sir John Herschel, that affects the discoloration of photosensitive pigments from plants, when exposed to UV light. By covering parts of the emulsion with flat objects, these ones provide an image.
The video you see here explores how does it feel like to use this technique, the textures, the procedures of pigment extraction, the methods and the emotions linked to it.
Big thanks to @milo_edo for helping with the clips you see me in

Nowadays, more than 65% of the worlds population uses the Internet daily it serves as our source of instant information entertainment, news and social interactions. However, can citizens enjoy equal and open Internet access everywhere? Unfortunately they do not. This installation compares Internet restrictions among 16 countries worldwide, to determine which countries impose the harshest restrictions, and where citizens can enjoy the most online freedom. The broadcast of news from all over the globe is used for this purpose, the primary aim of censorship is often to control people by blocking the flow of information. In this space, you will experience a position of power, allowing you to change your perception of what is in front of you both visually and acoustically.
The project was realised by @alice.massone , @milo_edo and @samoframe during the Empathic Data Visualisation Worksop held by @ctrl.shift and @maccobernardi at @luca.schoolofarts@media_and_information_design using @touchdesigner

Questa è casa di nonna, nonna non c’è più. Ho chiesto ad un’AI di riprodurla. Ho scoperto che non ce la fa. Maledette macchine non riescono a sostituirci .

In sintesi, le ciliegie non hanno capacità di memoria, ma possono essere utilizzate come fonti di informazione per sistemi di memoria digitale.

"Sewn to the wall" Milo Edo x Elena Zecchin
Shoot on Portra 400 Kodak film
Milan 2021
Milo Edo is an italian photographer and one of my best friends, this photo and video project was born spontaneously on the very first time we met, during one of my live paintings
Though his Sony Handycam Edo wanted to spend a day with me to document my work and my artistic research in the most truthful and natural way possible
You can look at the photo and the video at the link in bio
