Born in 1990 in Nice. A graduate of the Institut Supérieur de Design in Valenciennes (2016), he explores the relationship between design and art and reveals the aesthetics of systems or natural phenomena, reproduced in installations that are sometimes miniature, sometimes immersive. In permanent residency at La Station, Nice, since 2018. A graduate of the Institut Supérieur de Design, Tom Barbagli explores the affinities and fractures between the worlds of design and art, advocating the removal of their edges and limits. He undertakes singular experiments, bending the laws of physics through utilitarian materials (motors, light-emitting diodes, hard drives) as much as natural ones (beeswax, solid wood, minerals). The ingenuity of the mechanical assemblies then creates dreamlike objects or immersive installations, akin to micro-phenomena.
