Stanza's work crosses borders between artistic, technological and scientific sectors. Stanza creates participatory digital artworks that invite viewers to guide data flows or to simply observe self-generating compositions. This artist has won international praise and awards for his new media works that invite collaboration.

Work has centered on the idea of the building as a new display system and various projects have been made using live data, the use of live data in architectural space, and how it can be made into meaningful representations. see 'publicity', 'robotica', 'sensity', as well as a whole series of work manipulating real time CCTV data to making artworks with them: See, 'velocity', 'authenticity', 'urban generation'. These works reform the data, work with the idea of bringing data from outside into the inside, and then present it back out again in open ended systems where the public is often engaged in or directly embedded in the artwork.
