Men and women are originally the product of an ideology. No one can prescribe what men should do and what women should be like. We are essentially just a kind of advanced animals, human beings. So why does anyone in the world discriminate against transgender people? We are just human beings. No one stipulates that girls should not like girls, and boys should not like boys. Even cross-species can have love, not to mention that we are all humans. There is only one person who has the qualities we admire, and we want to live with them, so why should we consider gender? Why should we hide our true inner world?

I hope there can be a corner where everyone can speak freely, talk about their love lives, and share their experiences. . .

Hear your colour, 2021

The design purpose of HEAR YOUR COLOUR is to build connections between people and their senses. Since most of us lost connection with the world in some way during the last 6 months due to Covid-19, rebuilding the connection is very important (not only between senses but also between people).

The project is based on the theory of synesthesia. In synesthesia, the relationship between two or more senses is conjoined: a colour may have a particular smell, musical intervals may each have a specific taste, or letters or days of the week may have a corresponding colour. While syn-esthesia can take many forms, there are thousands of instances where individuals “hear” colour, that is, they may see a specific piece of music or a chord or scale as being blue or green. 

HEAR YOUR COLOUR focuses on the conjunction between vision and hearing. When clicking on the screen, the user will see the colour of the clicked area and hear a note. After three users all clicking on the screen, everyone will get a note and a triad will be played at that time.

TRINITE NOW

To be aware of the deep connections around us, first we need to reconnect with ourselves. This project is the first step of the journey, it is a remember that our body, mind and soul are one. None of us are “pure” and that change is the only constant. Constantly evolving digital technologies mean the realities around us are changing exponentially. If we are not self-aware, we will not be able to see what is real. This is a call to everyone to find the reality in order to feel unstoppable and strong: herself. Not here, not anywhere else but in you.

Poiesis

Poiesis is a project exploring the deep connection between music and visual communication. Music surrounds us and accompanies us in a lot of different ways every day, yet album covers seem to be an underrated part of musical products. Designing the artwork for an album cover is a delicate and complex process that is often forgotten or neglected.

Poiesis offers a new way of analyzing and creating album art, merging different practices such as graphic design, animation and machine learning. It is a project that aims to improve and help both the design and the music industry.

The word Poiesis itself comes from ancient greek and its meaning is to generate something new that didn’t exist before. Through the fusion of different album art archives, the core of the project is composed by an artificial intelligence trained to produce different kinds of pictures.

The project is hosted on a website that allows users to complete a form selecting musical genre and mood. The machine elaboates the answers and generates a new album art every time.

Try it yourself and give your albums new unique covers! http://poiesisproject.com/

Is there any internet left out there? 

Sometimes it’s easy to forget the web extends outside the highly controlled curated cyber mall we live in. Is it possible to create independent digital communities without the interference of the Big Tech?

This project attempts to explore the vastness of the independent world wide web by creating a personal website with the simplest HTML. The website acts as a cyber maze and the visitor is invited to follow hyperlink paths that lead deeper into the website or deeper into the web. There is no right or wrong turn, the visitor is free to wander off the boundaries of the website and set their own path into the world wide web, depending on which hyperlink they follow. 

The website acts as a reflection on Alexandra’s relationship with her laptop and her digital self. She uses memes, hyperlinks to her favorite pages, personal images, texts, and scanned hardware parts.

Hardware is the only physical connection to her digital image. In her pursuit to understand better the digital, she breaks apart old laptops, hard drives, cd drivers and she uses the parts to create a deconstructed version of a Personal Computer. 

The visitors are invited to navigate the website on a naked repurposed PC and imagine how the digital world could look like if everyone escaped the boundaries of GAFAM.
