ALESSIO PINTON  
        Eyey, welcome to my digital realm
(∩`-´)⊃━☆゚.*・。゚𓆏

       My name is Alessio and I am a digital artist and design researcher based between Rotterdam (NL) and Venice (IT).
       As an avid explorer of digital technologies and a natural sciences enthusiast, my practice is located at the intersection of the virtual and physical worlds. My work spans 3D modelling and music production, but also material research to push the boundaries of digital fabrication and storytelling towards unknown lands. I hold a MA in Geo—Design at Design Academy of Eindhoven and a BA in Industrial Design and Multimedia at IUAV University of Venice.

AN AMALGAM SIMULATION3D, Moving Images, SoundVIDEO2025 An Amalgam Simulation is a simulation/music performance inspired by the taxonomical transcendence of limestone. Through the use of RNGs for generative music and fluid-particle physics simulations, An Amalgam Simulation explores autonomous processes in sound and image, by coupling them with the emergent properties of geologic matter.

AN AMALGAM PARADIGMEditorial, GraphicPUBLICATION2024 An interdisciplinary cluster, a process of sedimentation, but also an aggregate with emergent properties - An Amalgam Paradigm is a publication that traces in the boundaries between disciplines the unearthed potential for new ways of understanding the world. In exposing a hierarchical system of understanding reality, the writing proposes a systemic and empathic vision to living and non-living entities. Explore

AN AMALGAM LOOPInsteractive, Performance, SoundINSTALLATION2024 By creating a self regulating system, An Amalgam Loop challanges the dichotomy between active and inert matter and brings the animacy of geologic entities between human perceptual thresholds. The project proposes a more empathic approach to inorganic matter challenging Western sciences analytical way of relating to it. Explore
