Matteo Vettorello

∙ 🗓️ 1986, Venice ∙ 📍 Lives and works between Venice and Milan

His research is aimed at the realization of devices, biometric tuners balancing relationships between people. By questioning the concept of efficiency, the electromechanical devices he develops become moments of bringing people together and sharing. The device acts as a mediator to establish a connection with the world. Its function and usefulness depend closely on the relationship that is formed between the machine and the cognitive ecosystem of the human being. 
He studied Visual Arts at the IUAV University of Venice and later graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in 2017.
