Marko is a visual artist, sound designer, and performer who gained notoriety for his large conceptual installations showing a harmonious vision of vibrant sonic bodies. His main source of inspiration is sound, which is completely integrated with vision. His lifelong research is based on the connections between visual and sonic perception based on emotions, a non-verbal language that is –above all – an energetic exchange. Marko started working in digital/analogue editing and recording in the middle of the 80’s, being a pioneer in Italy.
