Cristóbal Sciutto Rodríguez

I'm from the Americas, broadly, but based in São Paulo.

I studied computer science, among other liberal arts, at Stanford University. My research practice revolves around Convivial Forms, physical and virtual spaces for dwelling.

I develop video infrastructure at Reduct, design urban interventions with AVENTURA, contribute to Folk Computer, write cultural theory for TIS, and study at FAU-USP.
