Trip to Milan, Italy

Last week I traveled to Milan for an update regarding the current state-of-the-art in the world of digital fabrication and to gather new ideas. 

I visited 3DPrint Hub (3dprinthub.it), a new event dedicated to 3D printing. Not only there were various companies producing hardware, software, materials and services related to 3D printing, also research institutes and Fab Labs presented their work. There was also a very rich lecture program with speakers from different fields and disciplines related to digital fabrication.

On Thursday evening I moved to the city center for attending the opening of the exhibition “Re-programmed art: an open manifesto” (www.reprogrammed-art.cc), curated by Serena Cangiano, Davide Fornari and Azalea Seratoni, and promoted by SUPSI Laboratory of Visual Culture. The project involved a group of digital artists in the process of reprogramming artworks by Gruppo T, an Italian collective of artists that pioneered the introduction of technology and of an algorithmic approach in the process of artistic production. The exhibition combined some aspects that I am really interested in, showed artworks of some of my favorite artists and friends were there. This was only topped by the fact that the curators decided to wear [ digimorphé ] jewels for the opening: what a great honor!

Lift Conference in Geneva, Switzerland

Last week I had the chance and pleasure to participate in person to the Lift Conference in Geneva, an event dedicated to innovation and digital technologies that gathered more than 1200 people from 37 countries.

I had a booth for displaying [ digimorphé ] products to the public and this gave me the possibility to engage in many interesting discussions with people from different backgrounds and industries. I also held a workshop entitled “Digital Jewellery Lab” that allowed me to share my experience with the community.

Thank you very much to the organizers and the participants of the conference: I spent three awesome days in Geneva and went home with new ideas and renewed energy!

[ digimorphé ] is one of the selected labels that will participate to “The Designer is Present” event at "GRIS, Alliance des Créateurs", the concept store I am part of, situated in the heart of Zurich on Europaallee 33.

To greet everyone there will be Glühwein, biscuits and mandarins. Last but not least: for that day only the selected labels will offer 10% on their products.
