Selected Works :
The Big Plot - Recombinant Fiction
This is a spy-story played on the Infosphere, rendered into a new form of fiction.
Four characters told a story using dialogues shown on YouTube videos, blog posts, via entries on their Facebook, Flickr and Twitter profiles. Actions in public environments completed the set of stages where the story was acted. Audiences had an active role in the story, they unfolded and created other pieces of fiction. The cloned identity of a real spy was used to portray a story about political and sentimental weakness of our era characterised by dysfunctional sociality which is being created by social media communications. The drama deconstructed language and symbolism of ideologies by remixing characters' lifes and identities with real-world patterns.

Time and Truth Don’t Unveil the Reason
This work is created from a digital copy of the painting "The Truth Unveiled by Time" by Baroque master Giambattista Tiepolo. It has been partly covered by stickers which alter the interpretation of its iconographic symbolism. The painting has been used as the backdrop for press conferences given by Silvio Berlusconi’s Italian government. The Prime Minister altered the painting, hiding the nipple of the woman (allegorically the truth).
"Time and Truth Don't Unveil the Reason" concerns censorship and political consent. It suggests that time and truth alone are not sufficient for finding illumination by the light of reason – a position ever obfuscated by control over people’s perception of reality.

Amazon Noir This digital action (media hack and hack activism) was carried out in the global massmedia, within the art world and on a highly sophisticated technical level. Amazon e-commerce websites were vulnerable targets. We eluded the copyright protection with software robots that used the front door of “Search Inside” service. We stole digital complete volumes of books, reassembled them into pdf format and redistributed them for free. The action is documented by various types of offline conceptual installations.
