BIO
Salvatore Iaconesi (xdxd.vs.xdxd@gmail.com) works with technology in several ways.
Starting out in the hacking and pirating scenes all over Europe at the beginning of the '90s, he used several digital identities to experiment in various areas: ANSI/ASCII art, software art, mxed-media.
Rave parties and engineering represent the two turning points of his evolution.
Through engineering he started creating projects on web and mobile technologies for both artistic and commercial purposes: games, mixed-media concepts for events and performances, location based systems, distributed systems, computer/human interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics.
Through raves and rave culture he focused on the performative aspects of art.
In 2004 he assembled in Rome a 3-months continuous festival of the digital arts, called Art is Open Source (AOS).
Since then he has been performing mainly on the network and on performances.
His recent work focuses on the theories of the virtual, extended and mixed realities, on software as art medium, on hacking and hacktivism.

OneAvatar @ Milano in Digitale
OneAvatar @ Milano in Digitale
OneAvatar was shown at the third edition of the Milano in Digitale event. An installation featuring a 3D game in which players could shoot the OneAvatar character, causing electric shocks to hit the body of the player wearing the OneAvatar suit, creating a phisical connection between our physical bodies and our identities in the digital worlds.
The installation features the results of the research coming from the OneAvatar project: technology, emotion, identity, relational dimensions in the digital domains are some of the fundamental topics analyzed.
For the event a complete marketing and communication strategy was produced to create a fictional, but realistic and produceable, product to create the narrative level of the performance: the performer was displayed as in a shopping center showcase, with the product and the related gadgets available for sale. A further analysis on the evolution of art in the contemporary era, in its hybridization wth communication, marketing and ethnographical practices.
