ACV (Algorithmic Cultural Vandalism) is an interactive installation work, in which symbolic language, in its most diagrammatic aspects, is used as a tool for constructing an algorithm. The aim is to reflect on the relationships between magic and technique, human and non-human, and to explore the mental cartography that expresses the differences between sign and meaning, undecidable zones, towards an aesthetics of immanence.
