Franco Palioff (b. 1988, Junín, Argentina) lives and works in Berlin.

Through a dark and intensely grotesque aesthetic, Franco Palliof’s works address otherworldly narratives and creatures through intricate images, objects, machines and complex installations. With training in Nuclear Engineering, he mixes programming techniques, artificial intelligence, robotics, painting, sculpture, drawing, and 3D sculpting and design to compose absurd and convoluted imaginaries, and build robotic objects with intelligent behaviors. His practice articulates emotions perceived through computer vision tools with robotic reactions, creating fictional product-shaped objects to adopt robotic responses with game theory algorithms.
