Renzo Signori
Renzo Signori is a multidisciplinary artist and curator (MA) whose work resides at the intersection of art, technology, and ecology. Currently based in Helsinki, Finland, Renzo directs the Koynē Program under the Arcaica Association, an initiative that fosters artistic exchange and research into sustainable materials and technological changes. His practice explores the relationships between living systems, cultural narratives, and emerging technologies, aiming to redefine our connection to the environment through artistic creation.
Renzo's career spans over two decades, with notable contributions in immersive and interactive art forms. He has collaborated on projects such as the South-North Circuit, which bridges cultural contexts through digital media, and the MAXRES Residency, where artists experiment with bio-based materials and cybernetic technologies. His body of work includes video mapping, interactive installations, and VR experiences, often integrating biomaterials like bacterial cellulose, mycelium and natural waste.
His work is inspired by the idea of coexistence of multiple technological systems and in an ecosystem of multiple ontologies. His projects emphasize the role of cultural and biological diversity in shaping sustainable futures, critiquing extractivist practices and homogenization. By engaging with global collaborators, including artisans in the Peruvian Amazon and technologists in Finland, Renzo creates immersive installations that highlight the interconnectedness of communities and the environment.
