Born in San Francisco’s creative tech scene, CODAME now bridges to Milan — linking makers, dreamers, and technologists across continents.
In this second Aperitivo, as part of the CODAME ART+TECH Festival (2026) leaning toward the Creative Hackathon in 2026, we’ll reimagine together what it means to be human in the age of collective intelligence.
This is an in person only event, seats are limited.

Bruno Fonzi
CODAME co-founderOpening remarks and introduction to CODAME, the ART+TECH Festival program in 2026, its mission, and the context of the evening
19:10 — Curatorial Framing: Symbiotic Societies
Christopher Schutte
Curator, Futures & Narrative Systems, Loop Exit™This talk explores how minds, bodies, and societies are co-evolving as living, interdependent infrastructures.
Drawing on foresight and narrative research from Loop Exit™, we’ll trace cultural tensions shaping our future: from extraction to empathy, optimization to care, artificial to living intelligence — scenarios already unfolding.
We’ll introduce the Creative Hackathon - The New Human: “A playground for artists, technologists, and designers to prototype human–machine futures during Milan Design Week 2026.”
We invite you to submit the projects you’re planning to build for the Creative Hackathon early on CODAME.

19:30 — Artistic Practice & Systems
Giovanni Muzio, KessonKesson operates at the intersection of artistic practice, systems thinking, and emerging technologies.
Their work explores co-authorship between humans and machines, examining how agency, perception, and meaning shift when tools become collaborators—treating symbiosis as a lived, experiential condition rather than an abstract concept.
20:15 — Artistic–Speculative Intervention
Dario Biagio Torrisi — A.I. <3 POETRYAn artistic–speculative experiment challenging the paradigm of copyright and the artificial comprehension of poetic expression. Read through a relational lens, the work questions authorship, ownership, and originality in an era where language and creativity emerge from networks of human, cultural, and machine intelligence rather than a single author.
20:30 — Open Q&A & ConversationA collective discussion with speakers and participants.
