It’s an artistic collective that operates between Vicenza, Treviso and Venezia. It takes care of installations, set designes, workshops, production/promotion of exhibitions, workshops and temporary entertainments. It’s primarily a catalyst for creativity. Infact, it does not propose and realize ideas directly, but pushes other people to do that, being them simple random passersby, customers of public venues, partecipants of “Laboratories”, visitors to exhibitions and, generally, young and old people. It’s based on interactivity and gaming, it doen’t propose always the same project but reinvents itself continuously, modelling itself to the context in which it operates. The attenders are Silvia, Giulia and Muscoi.

Silvia Scaldaferro was born in 1981, she spent her childhood experimenting with concoctions of herbes she would find in her parent’s garden, with the intention of saving humanity. Giulia and Silvia met in 2002 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Here Giulia plays with all shorts of means, from jelly to video, from edible materials to database; instead Silvia experiences urban drifts, become deeply involved in grace and photography.

In 2007 Giulia graduated with a thesis about interaction, re-using and destruction of art, and taught art for three years at a middle school. At the same time she learnt the art of Murano Glass making.
