1. In the work 'Doc/Lon areas 1 - 4', you have dissected various
photographs from each cultural zone and integrated them digitally, are
you imposing a memory of that place?

Doc London Areas represents the "collective memory" of some
individuals being working and living together in Soho for several years.
Those places - buildings, corners, shops of Soho - they belong to
their memories, therefore they represent a place that doesn't exist in
the grid of physical reality, but that is impressed in the collective
memory as an archetype. According with this, well... I guess that I
only suggest one of the possible visions of reality.

2. As an Artist myself, I am interested in the physicality of space,
internally and externally. I am interested by the shape the networked
photographs are arranged into and also the space out side them. Do you
think the brightly coloured backgrounds are suggesting higher
dimensional space?

Absolutely. I am interested in playing with the coordinates of time
and space.
Flatten and brightly coloured backgrounds - and their curious
frequencies - give space and movements to the image; they set the
composition in a sort of meta-reality, which is the reality as if it
is going back to the world of Ideas to be finally observed.
The majority of the elements that I like to explore in my work are
linked to the surroundings, they are part of our body outside our body
and they are often "non places" - usually neutral yet poetically transitional. I like the visual celebration of having them surrounded
by highly contrasting colours.

3. I think this body of work translates to 'an object within an
object', but also 'doc/Lon area's 1 - 4' could represent the human
mind and how the subconscious mind can deliver memories to internal
visualisations at will. What are your thoughts on this?

I believe that we have to improve our ability of getting in touch with
our subconscious mind; I am very interested and draw inspiration from
the work of people such as Alejandro Jodorowsky and his idea of a
"conscious dreaming" or the experiments of automatic writing.
In my recent works I can see a direction of symbolic composition where
elements gather together to become one in a visual unity. Each element
is a world in itself and all elements together suggests the idea of a
reality that unfolds revealing new and unexpected shapes - through
such process I aim to facilitate or even only to highlight the
dialogue between the level of conscious and subconscious.

4. I understand you are an experienced Musician. I think Musician's
are inexorably tied to the symphonies and harmonies in nature in order
to conjure Music themselves. Do you think this body of work could be
translated as the juxpositioned rhythms of Music?

Colours are frequencies and we play with them as if we were playing
with sounds. Our eyes are constantly receiving inputs from the world
outside and help visualizing thoughts and ideas from the world inside
us. Sounds play the same type of game.
During such a process of analysis and construction of reality, we do
research harmonies, proportions and beauty; being a musician makes me
go deep into this type of research, tied to patterns, forms, plans andit sometimes makes me loose naturalness and spontaneity.
I have to strive and bear in mind that rules are also made to be
criticized and sometimes challenged.

5. What future projects are you working towards?

I am experimenting in screenprint on paper and other materials, I like
the idea of putting back the human touch into my works, even more
after so many years spent in the digital realm.
At the same time, since I am split between digital and analogic, I am
working on interactive electronic installations; one year ago,
together with a group of artists in Rome, we have built a monolith
whose walls were interactive videos: people were able to interact
without touching the monolith, thanks to small webcams that were
triggering the position of the people around the installation. I am
now continuing this type of research by working with LEDs, neons,
sounds and images.
I am preparing an entirely new series of work to be exhibited in Italy
at the end of April.
I am making some music, seeing new people and still finding time to
look around me and be astonished by the beauty of the unexpected.
