I am a creative specialist with a background in engineering and an unique vision that integrates entrepreneurship, life and systems innovation. Over time I have worked as a creative technologist, medialab director, hacker, interactive media artist, digital designer, event organiser, performer, writer, vegan chef and community builder. All these interdisciplinary experiences, like the pieces of a puzzle, have allowed me to understand a little better people, complexity and uncertainty. I love to practice futures thinking and U Theory because they give me a mindset and a social technology to generate creative and collaborative artworks to openly dialogue on better futures.
Vision
We live in times of transition, the same organization of society is changing. With imagination, creativity and empathy we can expand the ability to rethink our ecosystem relationships to make sense of complexity. We need new narratives and artworks that inspire collaborative solutions and make society evolve towards a new economy and a regenerated sense of community.
“My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there”
