CV

As part of my Master’s degree at HSLU D&K (Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts), I’m currently directing a short animation film and a series of videos where dance and movements are dialoguing with nature in a symbiosis. Using 3D laser scanning and motion capture technologies, I’m playing with limits, here is the preview!

I’m also working on the conceptual, technological and aesthetic research of a long term collaborative project in applied design, conducted by Christina Zimmermann and supported by the SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation). The transdisciplinary project is a digital archive of the work of the theorist Siegfried Kracauer, exploring new and more inclusive ways of visualizing and accessing scientific and artistic research.

While using technology as a creative tool, I question its role in seeking for an immaculate and photorealistic representation of the world for our memorial and sensorial perception, and how technology may encourage a form of consumption and overconsumption of nature, a nature that we threaten without any limits.

Where are the limits of digitalization, and where are our limits…
