AVANTGARDEN 3.0 — exhibition opening at Match Gallery
Sharing images from the opening of AVANTGARDEN 3.0 at Match Gallery.
The exhibition brings together virtual worlds, audiovisual works, digital prints, and physical objects developed across VR platforms, standalone applications, and the gallery space.
I’ll be present in the gallery over the coming days—feel free to stop by.
Special thanks to Match Gallery for the trust, support, and care throughout the production and installation process.

AvantGarden Biomes
Hello everyone 🌿
I’m very happy about a few things at the moment:
– the year is finally properly starting
– thank you all so much for the birthday wishes, I really appreciate them
– and I’m very excited about my latest project BIOMES, where I’m returning to exploring anthropomorphization within the ecologies of AVANTGARDEN
Drawing from the historical role of dolls as comforting, symbolic, and relational objects, BIOMES looks at toys, dolls, and avatars as contemporary companions — emotional interfaces embedded in virtual habitats, spaces for presence, care, and cohabitation.
This cluster of topics has been returning in my work since the early Supermono installations (some media art veterans might remember those groups of textile objects resembling plush creatures, reacting with sound and video to our presence). A lot has changed since then.
Being inspired by ecology, popular culture, and technological development, BIOMES inevitably reflects current phenomena — the culture of trinkets, surreal creatures, webcore, cutecore — all approached as sculptural forms and symbolic agents within synthetic environments.
I’m looking forward to sharing more soon and to exhibiting this project in upcoming contexts.
Seasonal greetings

Wishing you a stable transition into the new cycle.

HYPERMASK + AVANTGARDEN
Hello everyone, I just finished a new HYPERMASK video.
It’s a playground of synthetic evolution and weird digital “portraits,” where identity bends, mutates, and slips between humor and glitchy desire.
Also a small update: my AvantGarden work is currently shown at the Prima Materia pavilion at the Wrong Biennale, curated by Xristina Sarli with Top Lab, Berlin.
Thanks to the editors for featuring it on the front page.

And definitely explore the rest of the Wrong — it’s a whole universe.
