Hey, I'm Giacomo.
I am an Information Designer and fermentation enthusiast based between
BerlinDE and BolognaIT.
Mainly, I am interested in exploring the intersection of technology, journalism, and culture, where I work on both commissioned and autonomous research projects. I also teach from time to time.
From design to programming, I explore the web with a focus on information structure and visualisation. My practice ranges between building web interfaces, designing tools and prototyping.
I co-founded Krisenstab, and I am currently building Vantage, while working at Airwars and metaLAB.
Occasionally, I teach at Weißensee Kunsthochschule.

A series of experiments investigates the naming of WiFi networks from two perspectives.
In «Public WiFi», network names are scanned and juxtaposed with video recordings from the same locations. While predominantly encountering commercial and factory-setting network names, some appear to broadcast subliminal messages. This observation is further explored in «Not a Network», which features a custom WiFi network that gradually performs poetry by altering its own name. «Not a Network» operates on a WiFi-enabled Arduino and is best experienced by scanning networks from an individual’s own device.
