Inspired to Xerografia originale this is the result of an afternoon of visual experimentation with a plastic net and a scanner. #xerografiaoriginale #bendingthespace

Vid-e-lay it’s an external device that allows you to wrap time and space in a tangible way. Components: mdf body, arduino board, elastic thread, servo motor and a plexiglass bar.

Vid-e-lay is a project I developed in 2012 in collaboration with Matteo Accuso and Davide Capalbo during an interaction design course at ISIA Roma. We were asked to develop a tangible interface. The result was a physical spring that works as a video delay. In the video the making of the prototype and a short demo of the product.

These are some of the data that are stored in each variable of the text editor “Keying in left ended”. Each letter of the alphabet has many instances and every time we press a key we are gonna get a random instance from the same set. That creates a font that is not iterative and overall a bit more human!

“Keying in left handed” is a project I developed in 2012 during my interaction design course at ISIA Roma. We were asked to create an application capable of visualising data. I chosen typography as a data and I wanted to lift up the beauty of handwriting calligraphy and bring it back in modern typography. The result of this investigation was a text editor, a piece of software written in processing, that allows you to type with your own hand writing calligraphy. The dataset makes the font not iterative storing multiple items for the same chart. Enjoy!

In a word...militarism was funk!

We can buiild you: Bell Labs Speech Synthesis Kit, 1963. This DIY voice machine was part of a promotional campaign as bell labs began using computer models of synthetic speech for the automatic digital recognition (Audery) to the Charles Dodge LP, Synthesized  Voices, released in 1976. 

In this clip hands on a Buchla 200 modular synthesizer. Modules used in this patch: one oscillator, quad function generator model, frequency shifter model, delay, sequencer and a programmable spectrum processor.

Short demo of a circuit bending project on a Casio SK-1. Glitches and live mic sampling!

That is what happened during the Milan Design Week 2014. Very far from the furniture fair a sounding 3D printer, me and Benno Simma, performing and jamming inside the Archivio Giovanni Sacchi. Glad to be guest of such an amazing location full of history and design masterpieces.Thanks to Marco Pietrosante for let it happen! 

Some images of a circuit bending project I have made on a Roland drum machine and a Casio SK1. Very fun to hack the machines, a lot of soldering and listening and a lot of satisfaction. Stay tuned to listen to the results!

I found this project brilliant. The fan is literally shaping the video by blowing air on a physical rotor. A very elegant exercise. It demonstrate how beautiful and sophisticated the interaction between physical and digital world can be.
