Federico Poni (Habitat)
an artist / cyborg / pizzaiolo / web architect / net urbanist / student / teacher / copy-paste champion / garden lover / dead mouse / musician / alive pigeon / accelerationist / precarious / anarcho-defeatist / professional frier / wizard / minister / publisher / friend of machines / enemy of ASCII
Its practice is a slalom between performance, critical coding, games, sound design, post-photography and writing with the main focus on speculative disciplines and semiotic reflections. Always interested in the relations between humans and devices, It tries to imagine new ecosystems to dwell together. Its obsessions, these days, are the metaphysics of telecommunications, politics of self-hosting and ontology of dough making.
