"Research from practice: digital musical instruments design. Sustainable real world applications"

Seminar and Q&A with Nicolò Merendino (aka Chihauccisoilconte), designer, researcher and digital fabricator and interaction designer, creator of innovative network interfaces and sonic instruments. Bio: designer, researcher and practitioner in digital fabrication and interaction design. Merendino engages in hands-on design projects and studies with people and communities, with over a decade of experience in supporting artists and musicians to develop new interactive devices with a focus on new musical experiences. His recent research effort has primarily explored critical reflection and sustainable action within design practices. He has investigated open-source tools and methods to develop interfaces in both the form of tangible devices and GUIs. The aim of these explorations is to push the boundaries of current practices, finding solutions to enhance the full potential of each design project, while considering its long-term impact. Organised by centro studi SSH! – sound studies hub. Moderated and curated by Letizia Artioli.
