VINK is supposed to hold CDs, but by coupling two of them you will get a dish drainer (works also with circular dishes, design Enrica Vatteroni). BILLY is a very cheap shelf system. Modules come in two heights, 202 and 106cm. I piled them up to  maximize wall coverage. BILLY comes in two different shelf spans, 80 and 60cm. First bends under book load, second has no front panels. I accomodated FAKTUM front panels on a BILLY 60cm structure. FAKTUM modular kitchen system is here integrated in a handcrafted frame. Bookshelf combines PETER stands with handcrafted shelves. I had to shorten the legs of LIDEN tv carrier to fit a larger screen. RADIUM rail spotlight system was deconstructed to fit on the bathroom mirror. Spotlight prop was screwed to a clip gripped on the mirror. Link to this article

If Leonardo Da Vinci were to be alive in our days, he would have painted his masterpiece pixelating it. Ok, you lose all the details, but squeezing your eyes you will still be able to see Mona Pixa’s Smile (first image). I managed to index the color palette, allowing diffusion so to match original colors. The result is a new pattern that adds to the original checkers (second image). You can download a hi-res version, to be printed at the original size of the painting (GIF, 1.8MB). As you can see in this enlargement of the smile (third image) details are back! By the way, I’m not the first to discretize Mona Lisa. Link to this article

In 2006 the Crack! comic convention released the catalog of the previous edition. Artists were asked to produce new material signing a creative commons license. I didn’t sign anything, that’s what my drawing was about (in the meanwhile I’ve changed my mind, see the footer of this page). Download version for high quality printing (1.8MB).

In 2006 the Crack! comic convention was dedicated to italian artist Stefano Tamburini, father of Ranxerox. I was invited to make my contribution, delivering this vectorial drawing inspired to Tamburini’s xerox manipulations (see Snake Agent, third image). You can download the AutoCAD code (127KB, plot any size), and a GIF file (print A4 size,508KB) of my entry. Link to this article

Scanning my disk I found this small sample of 3D animation (workflow goes from Autocad to Flash via Lightwave). A microscopic battleship under attack (flash animation, 150KB). Related links: Fantastic Voyage, Nanotechnology. OMICRON was the provisional name for the ZYMACHI saga. PLACEBOT was discarded too.
