Profile
Riccardo Silano (b. 1982) is an Italian artist and designer focused on imaginary media. His quest for media that do not exist yet is grounded in a twenty-year arc across the creative industry — from theatre to videomaking, from still-life photography to 3D, from AR to AI.
Fusing technical expertise with a distinct neurological sensitivity, he acts as both trigger and witness before media yet to come. His practice captures technological ghosts: those that vanish and those that emerge to stay.
The results are enigmatic visuals, immersive experiences, and glimpses into latent realities — work that reveals emergent behaviors in every complex system, including its audience.
This vision is now materializing into Actually the Future: a playable world built to explore what happens to human agency when the future is already online.
