Franco Palioff

Statement

Franco works with different media, from painting to intelligent objects and installations, 3D videos and music. His installations are complex interactive spaces, where he speaks through an interactive coded behavior.

His first objects and installations were developed in Brazil, and they search for philosophical questions about the way we experience spirituality and religiosity in South America.

With deep learning and robotic techniques he also makes questions about our time in different areas. One path goes by questioning the physics and time itself, looking for example to new definitions of fictional physical and statistical magnitudes, dependent on the internet indicators of new sensing media. Other interest which is also shared with the painting and drawing imagery, is researching into sex and the way we experience the new wave of 3D post-porn, its political and social implications. The last path of research is into simulating societies with different psychological approaches, giving a sense of poetry in how this parallel society is born, develops, dies and regenerates.

GlogauAIR Project

The project consists in developing two robotic objects, and finishing the a simulation of a fictional society, focused on looking for global auto-destructive mechanisms.

CV Summary

Franco Palioff, born in Argentina in 1988, has lived in Curitiba since 2017 where he devotes himself to arts in various disciplines. He holds a degree in nuclear engineering and applies part of his training to interactive robotic objects and intelligent installations with part of his poetics focused on the evolution of human-machine symbiosis, religious stages of human beings, and the human-fulfilling function of an intelligent connected world.

• Self-taught in composition of piano, oil painting and watercolor, his pictorial artworks are mainly mythological paintings, and takes part of his research in ugliness, and human pilar events, such as birth and death.
• Among the alternative techniques, he does 3D mapping with Kinect (photogrammetry), VR oculus, 3D sculpture and printing, robotics and programming in several languages.
• Franco has individual and collective exhibitions in Argentina in Buenos Aires, Junín and Bariloche. In Brazil, in the Museum of Santa Catarina, São Paulo and Curitiba.
