Tutto

per caso, automatismo e sovrappensiero

Tutto is an experimental autobiographical novel I made using the private notifications from my smartphone. It’s a unique and slightly absurd book, written and assembled by an algorithm that spied on me, collected, and pieced together every single notification I received during my forced lockdown in October 2020.

With this project, I wanted to challenge traditional ideas of authorship and storytelling by using raw, deeply personal data—automatically generated, yet incredibly intimate. The algorithm created a narrative that’s unpredictable and oddly revealing, a mirror of how technology infiltrates and reshapes our everyday lives.

What fascinates me most about Tutto is the range of content: weather forecasts, private messages, bank alerts, porn ads... every notification I received during that period became raw material for the book. The result is a reflection on automation in the creative process—impersonal, yes, but also unavoidably personal. It’s a strange autobiography written by machines, but lived by me.

The book—featuring two unintentional forewords by Alessandra Ioalé and Andrea Tinterri—was first presented in 2021 during my solo show Non volevo fare assolutamente nulla in Udine, but it was only released publicly in 2023. Why the delay? Honestly, laziness. And a certain digital exhaustion, if I’m being poetic about it.
