He works at the interdisciplinary intersections between art, science and technology. In several of his projects you can see an experimental use of communication technologies, especially those that are obsolete or on the verge of obsolescence. Many times these elements are not raised in works themselves, but in processes, actions or experiments. He has made pirate FM radio and over-the-air television transmissions, carried out communicative experiments with landlines and telegraphs, and is currently researching some 19th century electronic communication devices such as the Telehor and the Pantelegraph. In his works he articulates the application of the scientific method with poetic investigations.
Fede Gloriani is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts of the National University of Rosario. His specific training in technical areas (such as physics or electronics) came from private workshops, tutorials on YouTube and Lupín and Mecánica Popular magazines. Between 2013 and 2018 he was part of the Espacio Lab team (art, science and technology program based at the Rosario Astronomical Complex) and Sub Escuela (independent, portable and horizontal school). Both spaces were essential in his formation and collective growth. He is currently a member of the duo Campo Modulado, together with the Neuquén artist Fabián Urban, with whom he explores issues related to soundscapes, wave modulation and the construction of antennas. Together with Julia Levstein he co-directs the América Elda Nancy art library and archive.
