The architecture of a hallucination

I’m Mirko Ditroia (MÊIRKS), a creative technologist and visual artist based in Milan. My work investigates the threshold between computational logic and sensory perception—engineering what I think of as computational hallucinations. Driven by a background in Computer Science and an MFA in Creative Media Production at NABA, I build at the intersection of custom software engineering, procedural 3D, and real-time media. Rather than relying on static pipelines, I develop bespoke systems and generative tools using TouchDesigner, Houdini, real-time shaders, and machine learning. Whether translating rhythm into massive stage visuals or designing physical installations driven by sensors and computer vision, I aim to transform raw algorithmic code into responsive, living environments.
