About Perceptrum

Perceptrum² is the collaborative vision of Dora Motèque and Luciano Ciamarone, a duo whose work explores the profound intersection of sound, image, and human perception. Our name is a direct homage to our individual academic journeys, which laid the foundation for our artistic practice.

Dora, after graduating in engineering, pursued her passion for scenography and art in Italy, while Luciano, a physicist by training, dedicated himself to music and currently works as a software engineer. Both were drawn to the relationship between visual and sonic input and human perception. This shared academic past is the very core of our artistic identity, rooted in our respective research: "A Study on the Use of Color in Film Scenography" (Dora) and "Factors Influencing the Perception of Musicality and Listening" (Luciano).

Originally meeting in Rome in 2013, we now live and create in Barcelona, Spain. It is here that we continue to develop the Sounding Canvas, an ongoing evolution of the studio tradition that challenges the traditional boundaries of human expression and establishes a new responsive medium for global connection.

To understand the philosophical repositioning of our work and the paradigm of the Sounding Canvas:
