The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures.
The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn.
A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.

A flow of images and sounds recall a permanent duality. An exploration that sets its path in the crest of a wave that is a body too. Tangible light and fluid sound. Free interpretation of the duality of the wave corpuscle at the basis of the quantum mechanics theory.
One of four exhibits for the ZUSE COMPUTER MUSEUM in Hoyerswerda. We developed an easy to programm pen-plotter to let the visitors explore the basics of coding. It uses simple building blocks that are associated with basic coding constructs. The code of each block is translated into a simple pseudo-code on the screen. The code controls the pen-plotter. When the visitor sends the code to the plotter, they can watch the visual output simultaneously with the code on the screen. Every visitor can take home their own printed artworks.

The project aims to challenge the prevalent separation between (digital) design and (physical) operation processes of adaptive and interactive architectural systems. The linearity of these processes implies both predetermined material and kinetic behaviors, limiting performances to those that are predictable and safe. This is particularly restricting with regard to compliant or flexible material systems, which exhibit significant kinetic and thus adaptive potential, but behave in ways that are difficult to fully predict in advance. This master thesis proposes a hybrid approach: a real-time, interactive design and operation process that enables the (material) system to be self-aware, fully utilizing and exploring its kinetic design space for adaptive purposes. The proposed approach is based on the interaction of compliant materials with embedded robotic agents, at the interface between digital and physical. This is demonstrated in the form of a room-scale spatial architectural robot, comprising networks of linear elastic components augmented with robotic joints capable of sensing and two axis actuation. The system features both a physical instance and a corresponding digital twin that continuously augments physical performances based on simulation feedback informed by sensor data from the robotic joints. With this setup, spatial adaptation and reconfiguration can be designed in real-time, based on an open-ended and cyber-physical negotiation between numerical, robotic, material, and human behaviors, in the context of a physically deployed structure and its occupants.
