hello
I'mLorenzoAntei ▎
Computer artist. He blends hacking and critical intervention across different media — animatronics for theatre, live coding with Arduino hardware, audiovisuals on the edge of the crash — shown across physical space and online. Since 2024 he has founded and curated the Massimo Contrasto Archive, dedicated to the dissemination and restoration of his art. He is part of LIGVA — Laboratorio Intergalattico Giacomo Verde Artivista. He graduated in 2025 in Net Art and Digital Cultures from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara with the thesis Catturare l'effimero - L'archivio come azione artivista.
Computer artist.
The spark lit up in the empty spaces during university. Digital photography became his way to slow down time — to walk barefoot through reality, noticing its cracks, its reflections, its fleeting glances. As it took root, it also opened portals. That relationship sparked a need to go deeper, a curiosity he carried with him into the academy, where he found fertile ground.
He graduated in 2025 in Net Art and Digital Cultures from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara with the thesis Catturare l'effimero - L’archivio come azione artivista - verso un’estetica dell’effimero.
He takes part in numerous exhibitions, both physical and online, through research that blends hacking and critical intervention. He creates animatronics for a theatrical show, takes part in live coding nights with highly questionable Arduino-based hardware, and develops audiovisual experiences on the edge of the crash.
Since 2024 he has founded and curated the Massimo Contrasto Archive, dedicated to the dissemination and restoration of the interactive art of the artist of the same name. He is part of LIGVA — Laboratorio Intergalattico Giacomo Verde Artivista.
Alongside this, he collaborates with international entities such as Songlines Production, Omava Production and Lucca Crea (Lucca Comics & Games), handling media management and video editing... By day, he works as a full stack web developer at Quivi, focusing specifically on web applications.
Life is a constant flow, in which the only certainty is the process, understood as creation, evolution, and breaking things down in order to rebuild them again. Again. And again.
