Italy, 1987. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Having worked with theatre, music, contemporary art, especially in the live act audio/visual scene, Familari is a new media artist whose research derives from the investigation on generative processes, analysed through the lens of the noise and expressed via different media: video screenings, interactive installations, prints.
Since 2011, he has been experimenting and has established his practice within the international new media and art scenes.
His repertoire is regularly showcased in theaters, concert halls, festivals, and museums.
In 2013 he moved to Berlin.
Since 2011 he runs FAXstudio, a multidisciplinary studio curating audio-visual performances, light design, scenography, videoclip production.
In 2017 he founded psst.one, a video-research channel focused on weekly interviews of artists whose practices relate to the audio/visual field.
In 2019, he co-founded Fronte Vacuo, an artistic group, together with Marco Donnarumma and Margherita Pevere.
