Emerging from a background in musical composition and performance, Patrizio's different trajectories as a designer/artist/musician/researcher intersect in his current Graduate research-creation. A speculative and experimental investigation of the citizen relationship to freshwater infrastructure, he explores where Art and Design meet the future of the city's urban ecological transition. This research is presently in collaboration with the Ville De Montreal's direction de l'eau potable.
Patrizio’s research-creation is supported by both the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). He is currently a research assistant with the CURC in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality (dir. Alice Jarry) and the Concordia Ethnography Lab (dir. Kregg Hetherington), and is the coordinator of the Speculative Life Research Cluster at the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology.
Patrizio has a curious nature, fails robustly, and most enjoys working with partners-in-crime.
