PHILOSOPHY
What is real? What defines reality?
As the boundaries between the physical and digital dissolve, our understanding of existence is constantly evolving. In this blurred, hybrid landscape, we seek to grasp the essence of being through new tools and languages, probing deeper into the most intimate layers of the human experience.
We explore the convergence of the material and immaterial worlds, where the tangible meets the virtual, creating spaces for action and transformation. In these intersections, we see not merely the blending of realities but the birth of new forms of meaning, new grammars for interpreting existence itself.
Our reality is not static; it is dreamlike, ephemeral, and constantly shifting towards immateriality. Technology becomes our medium, a means to deconstruct the laws that govern life, reducing them to their core elements, only to rebuild them through innovative expressions. We are on a quest to decode and reassemble the fragments of existence, pushing the boundaries of language, art, and perception.
As artists, we reject the passive role of observers in the evolution of humanity. We see ourselves as creators of a New Renaissance, where art, science, and technology merge to forge deeper connections with the human condition. Drawing upon transhumanist thought, we engage with the idea of transcending biological limitations through technology, seeking ways to enhance the human experience and redefine what it means to be alive.
This journey goes beyond the superficial dichotomy of real versus virtual. Instead, we explore how the digital realm has already reshaped our concept of reality, penetrating even the most intimate aspects of human existence—our emotions, desires, and vulnerabilities. In this redefined space, we aim to find new languages that can express the rawest, most private dimensions of the self.
Our vision is one of profound connectivity, where minds, machines, and nature form an intricate web of interactions. We imagine a world where this connectivity fosters understanding, reduces conflict, and heals the fractures between humanity and its environment. A world in which the digital is not an escape from the real but a tool to amplify our most essential truths.
In this vision, the universe’s knowledge is not external but exists within us, continuously enriched by shared experiences
and endless evolution. Our art reflects this truth, serving as a vehicle for exploring the intimate complexities of human
identity and the vast potential for transformation in an ever-shifting world.
David Capuano
Founder
Born in 1993 in Carate Brianza, a town nestled between the urban sprawl of Milan and the verdant hills of Lombardy. His childhood was marked by this liminal space, suspended between the artificiality of the city and the natural beauty of the countryside.
At 19, he took a leap of faith and embarked on a journey to London, where he discovered his passion for cooking and worked as a chef for a year. Despite his love for the culinary arts, his creative drive eventually led him back to the world of visual expression.
He went on to graduate in Painting and Visual Arts at NABA where he honed his skills and developed his artistic vision.
A turning point in his artistic journey came with his travels to Japan, where he had the opportunity to study video and photography at the prestigious Kyoto University of Arts and Design.
This experience opened his eyes to new techniques and perspectives, inspiring him to push the boundaries of his art even further.
Today, he lives and works in Milan, where he continues to explore the intersection of technology, nature, and human experience through his art. In addition to his artistic pursuits, he also teaches experimental Design workshops at an international school, sharing his passion and knowledge with the next generation of creative minds.
In 2020, he founded KP1 Studio, a hub of aesthetic experimentation that blends digital art with other creative disciplines. Through his studio, he seeks to break down the barriers between different art forms and create new possibilities for expression and collaboration.
In 2023, he founded Aion Interactive, an innovative game development studio dedicated to creating meticulously crafted works of art designed to profoundly impact players.
The mission is to reshape the landscape of interactive storytelling by delivering intimate and engaging narratives infused with beauty into the gaming experience
