Limiteazero is an architecture, media design and media art studio based in Milan, Italy.

Limiteazero explores the relationship between humans, machines and environment, trying to bridge the physical and the digital. In its experimental activity, it manages to mix different languages and areas of expertise, from media communication to architecture, design and art, from Italian design and craft tradition to electronic aesthetics.  The work around form is mainly focussed on investigating forms and images generated by mathematical processing and through random evolution processes. The "random" sequence is our most used coding expression.

 
Limit : mathematical concept based on the idea of proximity, basically used to give values to certain functions in points where no value is defined, so that they can be coherent with the nearest ones. > laptop_orchestra is an interactive synaesthetic instrument, designed for performances of audio visual compositions in real time.
 

The space conformation of the fifteen laptops, arranged on regular rows, brings back to the formation of an orchestral group.
On each one of them is installed a Software consisting in algorithms which activate sounds and abstract visual shapes based on color spectrum. Each laptop has its own sound and its own instructions for the construction of a shape. Interacting from the orchestra conductor podium, lightly touching metal stems, it is possible to activate or deactivate each single laptop , permitting the generation of an endless number of different compositions. Compared to a software of elementary audio and visual compositions, this installation puts the interaction in a defined and public space dimension, drawing a reactive environment in the contour of its physical dimension.
