Bio

"I'm an electronic artist, teacher and sociologist. In 2001 I've been founding member of the Milan-based experimental collective otolab with whom he investigates visual dramaturgic representation of sound.

I teach theories, methodologies and tecniques of the audiovisual performance at NABA in Milan, LABA in Brescia and in several other seminars and courses around Italy. I hold a PhD in Urban European Studies at the University of Miano-Bicocca (UNIMIB); my research in urban sociology investigates the relationships among city, creative economy and social innovation processes, with a special focus on artists co-optation in post-fordist economies (the title PhD thesis was "Going Commercial: Integration of underground artists in Milan and Berlin”). Now I'm a post-doc researcher at the University of Milan (UNIMI) and I works on the EU funded project EDUFASHION, dealing with P2P economies, crowdsourcing, desktop manufacturing fashion. As a sociologist I held several graduate and post-graduate courses in methodology, sociology of culture, urban sociology and new technologies for social sciences."
