Alessandro Zannier — Global_Synapses: Time Based Media Art exhibition

Alessandro Zannier — Global_Synapses

When: 16/04/2026 - 19/04/2026

Where: MAIIIM Lab, Genoa — Calata Andalò Di Negro 15, 16124 Genoa (GE)

MAIIIM Lab hosts Global_Synapses, a solo exhibition by Alessandro Zannier included in the venue's contemporary weekends focused on Time Based Media Art. Curated by Virginia Monteverde, the show converts the multimedia center into a sensory and critical workshop investigating the complex systems that shape life on Earth through technological languages.

Exhibition focus

Zannier presents video works generated from the aesthetic translation of environmental big data. The pieces connect natural phenomena — such as ocean acidification, polar ice melt and port noise pollution — with social indicators, highlighting how complex networks and data flows affect collective understanding of the planet.

The project also addresses cultural issues: growing dependence on technology and simplified media languages (the so-called brain rot), which can reduce the capacity to grasp ecological complexity.

The Genoa presentation is part of the Cerebro_Mundi operation, which includes the release of a concept album by the artist under the pseudonym Ottodix and a series of activities linking art and scientific outreach at several Italian universities.

Why visit

Global_Synapses is recommended for audiences interested in intersections between art, data and science, and for those seeking exhibitions that promote critical reflection on environmental emergencies via multimedia languages.
