Domenico Di Paolo

Domenico Di Paolo is an Italian designer born in 2000 and based in London, working across product, interaction and research. He studied architectural design at the Politecnico di Milano and industrial design at Central Saint Martins, and worked as assistant exhibition and graphic designer at Fabio Novembre Studio.

His practice investigates possible future rituals linked to emerging technologies, using sound as its main tool of inquiry. With Kieran Feechan he developed IMAGO, a deep listening device that runs locally on datasets built with musicians rather than scraped from the web, shown at Milan Design Week and at Sónar+D; earlier work such as AURORA, a speculative device for future prayer, was exhibited at BASE Milano.
