My conversation with curator Pau Waelder for Niio Art is now live.

We spoke about myth as a living system rather than a fixed archive and about how immersive and time-based media can create spaces for reflection rather than spectacle.

The interview touches on montage as a method, CGI as a poetic tool, displacement across the Mediterranean, and the role of sound in shaping emotional and embodied experience.

Grateful to Niio Art for the thoughtful questions and for the space to unpack my process.

Interview with artist Valentina Ferrandes, whose relies on classical sculpture and ancient narratives as both emotional anchors and critical material.

For years, we were told that technology would liberate us.

Instead, it quietly began to shape the rooms we sit in, the rhythms we follow, even the way we imagine the future.

We can write a different story. One where creativity steps in, not to decorate the machine, but to expose its seams. To redirect its logic toward people rather than systems. Media art is soft infrastructure: it can open cracks where genuine public experience can breathe again.

My project Midday Muse for META London sits inside this tension. A classical fragment in a hyper-modern workspace, a reminder that our tools have histories, and our environments have consequences.

So here’s an invitation to the tech world: bring artists into the room. Commission work that unsettles, reframes, rehumanises. It changes more than a wall, it changes the story a company tells about itself.

🎬 Throwback to March 2025 | Venice, Italy

At the iconic Auditorium Santa Margherita and the historic Istituzione Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, as part of the Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival, something special happened...

Two screenings of "Here and Now: Artists' Videos from the UK #1" took place under the section The Suspended Glance — a beautifully curated collaboration by researcher and curator Laura Leuzzi and artist and lecturer Elisabetta Di Sopra.

✨ I’m incredibly proud that my animation "Aurea" was part of this international selection, screening alongside powerful, thought-provoking works by fellow UK-based artists.

"Aurea" is a meditative animation that explores the delicate entanglement between nature, memory, and transformation through flowing, golden imagery and dreamlike soundscaping. Grateful that the piece found its place and voice within such an atmospheric and historic context.

A massive thanks to the curators, the festival team, and everyone who came to watch, discuss, and share. These dialogues across borders are what keep moving contemporary art forward. 💬🌍
