Luca Pagan (b.1993, Venice) is an artist, musician, inventor based in Milan. His work is based on redefining bodies and machines to explore the boundaries of (human) experience. His multidisciplinary approach combines sound art, robotics, and embodied cognitive science to make handcrafted body technologies, such as interactive sonic prosthesis and AI-music wearable instruments. His artistic practice, which takes the form of performances and installations, explores new forms of sensory and augmented reality mediated by the symbiotic relationship with (sonic) prosthetic devices equipped with complementary intelligences.
