The various studies conducted in the past on the performance of the Italian innovation system have almost inevitably underlined the weakness of the Italian R&D systems. Its main salient feature is the poorly performing, insufficiently developed, and scarcely organised block of activities related to Scientific and Technological Research (STR). The failure of the Italian system in promoting basic...

This paper describes an exploration of visual and sonic texture. These textures are linked by a swarm of “tech-tiles”, where each tech-tile is a rectangular element of an image or a sequence of audio samples. An entire image can be converted to a single tech-tile, which can be performed as a composition, or a swarm of small tiles can fly over the image, generating a sonic improvisation. In each...
