Matilde Piccoli
Researcher • Visual Artist
My dual background in Art and Technology has developed in parallel and, more recently, the two activities have also merged into multifaceted projects.
The more complex the thematics, the wider the experitise needed. Hence, I am always looking for collaborations with other artists and researchers!
Some topics of interest: Digital Rights, Tech Ownership Decentralisation, Alternative Global Ownership, Emancipatory Policies, Social Justice in Electronics Material Pipeline, Nature-Body-Tech Relationship.
