Accomplishments are listed by date of achievement in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first.
Fadhil Fadhil
School of Architecture and DesignFadhil Fadhil, robotics fabrication lab manager in the School of Architecture and Design, designed The designed installation aims to investigate the concept of performance, which is directly related to the term resilience as a cultural action capable of creatively relating the body and space, where the acrobats vaults interpret the "glimpse of the magic" underlying theatrical staging. The designing process involved computational design, imagery depicting acrobats soaring through the air in a circus setting, generated through artificial intelligence (AI). The opportunity arose when their work was selected to be part of the exhibition Hoperaperta, at the prestigious FuoriSalone di Milano in 2023. Leveraging their expertise in virtual installations, Fadhil and Battistoni embarked on a creative journey to reimagine the image and integrate it into a VR immersive experience.
