He is a conceptual artist working with music and visual arts, positioned between physics, the environment, and big data, creating multimedia-driven artworks and concerts.

He collaborates with international universities and research institutes through artistic and sound-based operations that investigate complex systems and the correlations between nature and society.

Born in Treviso in 1971 and graduated in Painting from the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, he has exhibited in international solo and group shows, including one at the Museo Archeologico del Correr in Venice, three editions of the Italy-China Biennale in Beijing and Turin, the Curitiba Biennale (Brazil), and two consecutive Venice Biennials.

Under the musical alias “Ottodix”, he has released eight concept albums, two compilations, and a biography, and is considered a historic project of Italian wave-electronic music.

In 2016/17 he presented in Beijing and Berlin the concept album Micromega, dedicated to the scales of matter in the cosmos, together with the visionary website www.micromegaproject.com — regarded as a true web installation, a hybrid between an illustrated “hyper-album” and an encyclopedia of matter — which in 2022 became a widely discussed case within the Chinese intellectual community as well as an important NFT series.

In 2020 he released Entanglement, an album focused on correlations between global-scale phenomena, and in 2021/22 he developed ENT, a project of twin installations intersecting environmental data between Italy and six continents. The project began between Venice and New Zealand, continued through the Bethanien Kunstquartier in Berlin and the CAFA Museum in Beijing, and concluded in the United States in 2024 at the Institute of Technology NY, entering the collection of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York with the support of international curator and architect Alessandro Melis.

In 2022 he produced the solo exhibition MareMoto 4.0 at the Galata Maritime Museum in Genoa, featuring works in dialogue with the CNR ISMAR institute and data collected by marine robots, and performed at the opening with musicians aboard the submarine Nazario Sauro.

In music, he has released eight concept albums, two compilations, and a biography under the alias Ottodix — a historic name in Italian electro-alternative music — now performing in cultural and museum spaces with concerts blending science, philosophy, and environmental activism.

In 2023, his project Arca (album and visual art exhibitions), exploring the threat of global apocalypse and mass extinction through reflections on habitat backup and the backup of life itself, was hosted in an artistic residency by the city of Venice (ArcaVenice), giving rise to numerous exhibitions, concerts, performances, and video-sound installations in universities, research institutes, artistic foundations (Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa), museums, and finally at the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory.

His recent Escalation><Involution, a large immersive audio-video installation of 400 sqm with 13 projectors, focuses on the exponential rise of climate-related crises and the cultural impoverishment of the West. It was shown for an extended period in 2025 at the M9 – Museo del ’900 in Mestre, Venice, alongside the Impressionism exhibition Arte Salvata – Capolavori oltre la guerra dal MuMa di Le Havre.

His name, together with Arcangelo Sassolino and Michelangelo Pistoletto, was included in 2025 in the candidacy of Valeggio sul Mincio for Italian Capital of Culture 2028.

In 2026, the artist announced the new multimedia project Cerebro Mundi and its accompanying concept album on natural intelligences and complex systems.
