I am a visual artist and lecturer living and working between Italy and The Netherlands. I hold a BA from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, Italy, and a Master Degree in Fine Arts from Plymouth University, UK. Since October 2009 I have been the first artist in residence at Dwingeloo radio telescope (NL) where I developed, together with the CAMRAS and ASTRON team, a technology called Visual Moonbounce, which allows sending images to the Moon and back as radio signals.

I am currently a PhD student at Leiden University, developing my research on Visual Moonbounce and its links to Visionary Architecture and Space Research. Since 2010 I have been collaborating with the international collective Astronomers Without Borders (AWB), curating the Art and Astronomy programme for Global Astronomy Month 2012 and 2013. I am currently the national representative for AWB in The Netherlands. More information on my work can be found on www.opticks.info. Affiliation: Leiden University, CAMRAS (NL)
