Filippo Cuttica

Country: Italy
Area of Expertise: System Design, Design Research, New Media Art and Digital Culture

Filippo is constantly looking for the right creative expression to investigate his manifold interests.

He graduated from ISIA Roma Design, Italy. His final thesis focussed on a system for humanitarian mine detection. The aim of the thesis was to discover how design can improve the quality of life in extreme contexts. Thanks to his project, he had the oportunity to collaborate with researchers at the “Laboratorio di Sminamento Umanitario”, University La Sapienza, Rome, and to win the Special Mention of the Jury at SYDA2008.

Since 2005, he has been working as a freelancer in different fields of design, from product to graphic, passing through web and video.

Since 2007, he has played an active role in New Media Art, Prank Art, and Hactivism - as he joined the IOCOSE collective. With IOCOSE, as well as exposing their projects in many galleries, museums, and events, he taught in two workshops, one in AreaOdeon Gallery in Monza and one in Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan.

In 2008, Filippo organised the ‘NoTube’ Contest: a competition with an aim to investigate the darkside of meaning construction, rewarding the “lowest value” video reported on the website youtube.com.

Filippo is currently a student at CIID where he hopes to lead his research to the next level.
