Welkommen to my T2 Assesment wiki page

LOTS of things can be said here, but i'll try to be brief.

While thinking ahead of the things I wanted to write on this page, I noticed some re-occuring themes/keywords that kept and keeps re-appering in my practice and interests since i started this master.

Keywords:

Sound experimentation - Sound making - Visual outputs tied to sound - Musical experimentation - Broadening of my musical approach - Improvisation - Mapping - Organizing - Doing things together - Togetherness - Covering - Hiding - Cover Ups - Dodging - Cheating - Alternative paths -

In Jan i personally found out about an open call for an exhibition about performances artworks. So i took care of the applcation and sent this brief PDF with the link to our video. Galleria Pictor in Finland.

Residency in Austria [upcoming]

Together with Claudio we'll do a 2 weeks residency in Wien ad Semmelweis Klinik. We thought of a new performance for the Writing Machines Ensemble

Exhibition Huius Mundi

I had an artwork showcased in the collective exhibiotion Huius Mundi, curated by Gabriele Perretta, at IUMBO Gallery in Bologna (Italy). from Feb 7 till March 15

Waste Waves Workshop

In Oct/Nov I participated in a serie of 3 workshops at WORM on waste and recording sounds with contact mics. This workshop was shared to us from Michael. We first built a contact mic ourselves. We got to acknowledge insightful documentation regarding the theme of waste, especially within the Netherlands, sound recording, musical composition and mapping. We did a field trip to the AVR (Afval Verbranding Rijnmond) waste disposal facility to make field recordings with our contact mics + zoom mics. We wasn't allowed to get into the site. AVR is very politically exposed so they don't allow any type of visitor in, apart from investors.

The workshop was very cool and on the last day we got together to cut and edit our recordings. We uploaded them into a sample machine from Roland, and we improvised a sound composition over a visual of images recorded during the field trip.

This workshop was very interesting, rich in content and well planned overall. Most of all, thanks to it I got to understand and expand my feeling towards opening myself more to sound, to experiment with it and to integrate it as part of my artistic research.

_____________________________________________________________ Some Other Space

This chapter actually applies for all the 3 major categories of this page [What I did up until now + What I'm doing + What I want to do] since it's an on going poject.

Since i moved in Charlois, thanks to the kind souls of Joseph and Nami, I have been passed the baton of running Some Other Space (SOS), a polisemantic art space. Runnin' an art space was a dream of mine, so i felt blessed by this surprise (when Joseph was telling me about the flat b4 i came, they never mentioned SOS cause they know about this dream of mine thanks to Claudio).

One space of 46m2, lots of possibilities, lots of effort. But I do the best I can since doing a master such as XPUB and running a space, and doing personal projects and working all together is not easy... Thank u very much Claudio for being the co-curator of the space.

Check out the website of SOS, which is also maintened by me together w/ Claudio, to see anything we do/did.

PS. The whole building where i live is gonna be demolished this summer. At the end of this period we'll do a printed publication of everything that has been done in SOS.

Buiten Kasteel

Together with Hannes (my ex-flatmate, artist and musician) Kamo, and Riccardo (ex LB student) we started this band.

So far we publicly performed during Tiny Tuin #8 music festival. This festival was organized by us (mainly by Riccardo) and it took place in SOS. It was a festival composed by 4 acts with experimental musical performances and dances.

I play drums since more than 10 years, and i really hoped that i shouldn't have to stop cause of my living situation here in NL, thankfully that didn't happen. In this project what we play is really different from what i've been used to. Everytime we play, we improvise everything!! There is a strong deal of understanding between us, thus we all feel confortable with this approach. The mutual connection between our minds is priceless and is super important when coming to a group of musicians playing together.

In our music we do a rollercoaster between classical ways of playing and very open experimentations.

What I'm doing

Application to ARS Electronica 2026

Together with my beloved and sadly missed ex faltmate Hannes Buchwieser we're developing an artwork for ARS 26.

Explanation:

Public Talk @ Brera Art Academy

Me and Claudio got invited from Gabriele Perretta (organizer), to partecipate with a speech/lecture/pitch during a public panel hosted by Brera Art Academy in Milan....................

_____________________________________________________________ Some Other Space

- Keep doing the Movie Nights once a month

- Sticker trade day

- Organize my personal exhibition in SOS

- Host a pen plotting party

- Organize the exhibition of Leonardo Maurizio (painter)

- I have this idea of exhibiting CZAR as the last artist, since he deals with spaces that are under construction, unfinished, demolished, hidden, forgotten... exactly because SOS will be demolished afterwards.

What I want to do

_____________________________________________________________ Artowrks

yes, it's a typo. i know. i like it that way

[placeholder] Artwork about the city and sound

Since I've been moving / i moved here in Rotterdam i immediately started noticing how here in the Netherlands pavement cracks are covered with a thick mark in bitumen that follows their shapes.

I've always been drawn to cracks shapes and urban details. Those bold coverages serve the purpose of filling the cracks but additionally they underline them, making them stand out rather than covering the damage and blend it back into the pavement surface

- 3D scans of the cracks on the asphalt

- Obtaining high quality textures to having a perfect plain view of the shapes of the craks

- Isolate the cracks

- Separate the different shapes into single files

- Record sounds of the city with different mics (zoom + contact mics)

_____________________________________________________________ XPUB 2

I had this idea of developing a thesis regarding the cheating topic, dodgin and find your own way of surviving/to make it in a system.

On the other hand, I'm well aware that what comes up from this wrap up is my new interest in sound and my enjoiment in having given to it the possibilty to expand and blend into my personal artistic practice.
