Biography
His work focuses on sound waves and moving installations engines. Marco Barotti is inspired by consumer goods to build a post-technological imaginary world. His approach is eminently poetic in that it aims to make sound and movement perceptible to the underlying vibrations of our everyday environment, allowing the audience to fully come into contact with this hidden dimension.Here and there, curious birds play a strange game.
