Alessio de Girolamo

Alessio de Girolamo (Sanremo, 1980) lives and works in Athens. He highlights illusory aspects of language and its structures with multidisciplinary works and installation mixes, creating immersive and live experiences.

In 2015 he discovered similarities between atomic models and music by elaborating the “Nn” theory which makes Bohr’s atomic model and the curious Imperial 290 piano superimposable for both structural and historical reasons. From this research he creates a compositional system that relates the elements of the periodic table to the sounds of the piano. In 2017 he began working on the algorithms that regulate the formal grammar of the development of plant cells composing sound metaphors of their growth, formally highlighting similar behaviours between programming environments and natural environments. From 2018 the project becomes “L-System” when he establishes a collaboration made up of audiovisual installation dialogues with artist Loris Cecchini on various occasions. Central to these sound installations is the writing of generative programs in Supercollider, together with samplers with which the artist creates “sound walks” and acousmatic installations to put art and science, nature and architecture in dialogue.

He took part in many projects and exhibitions like: SCIC flagship store, Milan (2021); Manifattura Tabacchi, Florence, Italy (2020); Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture 2019 Shenzhen, China; Spazju Kreattiv, La Valletta, Malta; Renata Fabbri, Milano, Italy (2019); Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Siena (2018); Assab One, Milan (2014); Ex Stasi Museum, Hoeshonenhausen, Berlin, GE (2012); Charité Medical School Campus, Virchow-Klinikum, Berlin, GE (2010); D.A.M.S., Imperia (2006).
