Lorenzo Bacci (1989) and Flavio Moriniello (1986) have been working as an artistic duo since 2019. They both achieved a Master’s degree in Photography and Visual Design from NABA in Milan, after respectively completing a BA in Economics and an MSc in Physics. Currently, Moriniello is pursuing a PhD in AI at UPV in Valencia while Bacci is pursuing an MSc in Cultures of Communication at the University of Milan.
Bacci and Moriniello employ a multidisciplinary approach in their research, with a specific focus on examining the intricate relationship between humans and technology.
They delve deep into understanding how the latter is actively reshaping and altering our perception of reality. Moreover, they extend their investigation beyond the edges of current circumstances in order to envision near future scenarios.
Their work is both in public and private collections such as: MUFOCO (Milan) and Centre Claude Cahun pour la photographie contemporaine (Nantes)
