In Sál, the fourth room marks a quiet shift. The storm has passed and what remains is breath - light, rhythmic, fleeting. Time drifts without weight, struggle fades into stillness.

The visuals, following precise, scientific simulations and patterns, now begin to dissolve before the final crescendo. Structures start to break and order begins to collapse, marking a subtle connection with the theme of impermanence.

Here, the simulations that guide the visuals focus on the extreme dynamics at the edge of a black hole. These phenomena have been simulated using BHAC with the “Harris current sheet” configuration, an equilibrium solution to the Maxwell-Vlasov equations.

In 1608, Johannes Kepler wrote what is considered the first work of science fiction. In it, a man dreams of travelling to the Moon and, from there, looks back at the Earth with new eyes.

Luna Somnium starts from that same shift in perspective. A 10-meter sphere suspended within a freestanding structure, onto which light, sound, and visuals invite visitors to look at the closest celestial body to Earth with new eyes. At Noor Riyadh, the work became our most ambitious installation yet: a self-contained architecture standing in dialogue with the night sky.

Two weeks ago we opened our doors for our 11th Open Studio.

This practice was born in 2022 as a way of stepping outside the day-to-day of the studio. In each event, we explore themes and territories of the contemporary, while opening our doors to conversations and exchanges with professionals from art, culture, theatre, science and business.

This edition focused on curating as an extended, boundless practice: one that reaches far beyond its most obvious definition. We had the pleasure of hosting Francesca V***a from AR/GE KUNST and Renato Bruni from Orto Botanico Parma, who each offered their own lens on what it means to work at the edges of a discipline.

It was a meaningful afternoon and we thank everyone who joined us.

In occasion of the exhibition "Sensory Landscape" at Palazzo Bovara, by Elle Decor Italia and Studio Lissoni, we had the pleasure of being interviewed by the Elle Decor team for their digital publication.

We talked about our origins, our creative process, the role of technology in our practice, and what it means to work from a small town in the Italian countryside while operating in an international context.

One year ago today, Sál came to life on the stage of the National Taichung Theater. The final chapter of a trilogy that took more than 12 years to complete, and one of the most intense experiences our studio has ever been through.

Those days in Taiwan were both challenging and deeply meaningful: bringing the work to the stage in Taiwan, a place where we had already performed Ljós and Dökk, felt like closing a circle.

One year later, we carry it with us - and we can't wait to see where Sál will go next.

Multiverse .echo is landing in Madrid 🇪🇸
The work joins "Quantum Revolution" at Espacio Fundación Telefónica: an exhibition that traces over a century of quantum physics, from the first cracks in classical mechanics to the second quantum revolution.

Originally created for "Ipotesi Metaverso" at Palazzo Cipolla in Rome in 2023, Multiverse .echo is a new iteration of Multiverse, an audiovisual installation inspired by Lee Smolin's theory of cosmological natural selection: the idea that universes, like living organisms, evolve through reproduction and variation. Generative visuals and sound make visible the invisible architecture of the cosmos. Happy to see it back after three years.

Multiverse .echo will be on view at Espacio Fundación Telefónica in Madrid from May 7 to October 11, 2026.

Luna Somnium was born in 2022 in the Gazometro in Rome: a vast industrial structure that became an integral part of the work itself. The sphere was held by the building's architecture, and for a long time this dependency on a host structure limited the work's possibilities.

For Noor Riyadh 2025, a self-standing structure was designed: a system that supports the sphere without the need for a building. This is a fundamental transformation of the work, since now Luna Somnium can exist in a square, a park, or any open space large enough to hold it.

We are glad to open the new exhibition season with Onirica () included in the group show "El Tiempo de la Interferencia" at Instituto Leonés de Cultura in León (ES), curated by Jorge Quijano Ahijado and Silvia Argüello for Interface Studio.

The exhibition explores how interference, such as visual, technological, political and temporal, shapes our experience of the present. It proposes a journey through new ways of understanding time in the current context, from landscape transformation to the impact of language and technological devices on how we see.

We are happy Onirica () is going to be exhibited alongside works by Laurent Grasso, Jenny Holzer, Joan Fontcuberta, Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jorge Quijano.

Opening April 11, on view through June 14, 2026.

In Sál, the bodies of the two dancers Hélias Salvador Dorvault and Vittoria Franchina are a necessary counterpart to the technology of the visuals: they are the ones communicating most directly emotions we can only truly feel through our own physicality.

Every movement and gesture has been carefully studied to carry the emotional intensity of the piece itself: some of them even return throughout the performance, acting as anchors for the audience and amplifying the most important moments on stage.

The choreography, by Diego Tortelli, is built so that the body can hold the same gravity as the themes at the heart of Sál: impermanence, letting go, accompanying someone through an irreversible transformation.

We're excited to announce that our co-founder and artistic director Mattia Carretti will be delivering a keynote at IBSIC | Image Beyond the Screen International Conference in Lille, France.

The talk, titled "Body as a Living Medium" will trace fuse*'s evolution in performing arts: from our early experiments merging physical interaction and technology, through the pivotal moments that redefined how we blend movement and audiovisual media. A journey that culminates in Sál, the final chapter of our live-media performance trilogy.
