CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY STUDIO
BOLOGNA, ITALY
Sublime Tecnologico is a creative technology studio based in Bologna, founded in 2022 by Stefania Reccia and Federico Bigi. Pioneering light art, projection mapping and site-specific installations at the intersection of avant-garde digital art and strategic cultural consultancy, we craft bespoke solutions for an elite clientele.
Our story began in 2008 with Apparati Effimeri, among the first studios in Europe to experiment with video mapping applied to 3D CGI. After fourteen years of international productions — from Castellucci's Parsifal to Sokurov's GO.GO.GO., from the Farnesina Digital Art to Lavazza at Milan's Triennale — in 2022, Sublime Tecnologico was born, channeling this expertise towards new horizons: immersive environments, EEG emotional interactivity and generative AI art.

Digital Storyteller & Art Historian
STEFANIA RECCIA
Specialist in Baroque Art History. Her research focuses on the contemporary evolution of the "baroque apparatus" reinterpreted through digital technologies and virtual reality.
Oversees creative concept and narrative direction, coordinating storytelling and resources to give soul to every multimedia project. Her enquiry traces the thread between classical aesthetics and new digital languages.
[email protected]An agile, high-competence structure: rigorous experimentation with visual media, coupled with continuously updated intellectual preparation, is supported by a flexible team that changes according to each project's needs. This adaptability ensures artistic, cultural and technological value without the constraints of a generalist agency.
Our project draws from the discourse on the Technological Sublime developed by the philosopher Mario Costa. The professor of Aesthetics identified a revolution in aesthetic feeling within the new forms of audiovisual communication.
The aesthetic feeling born from the events of communication aesthetics is not that of the beautiful, but that of the Sublime. The feeling of the Sublime arises neither from the object nor from form, but from a disposition of the spirit that finds in the absolutely great an astonished awe joined with an admiring contemplation.
— MARIO COSTA, L'estetica dei media, 1990
«True poetry [...] knows how to free us from the
earthly burdens that oppress us.
Like a hot-air balloon, it lifts us into higher
regions with the ballast that clings to us,
and allows us to perceive in a bird's-eye view
the tangled, confused paths of the Earth
spread out before us»
(J. W. GOETHE, Autobiographische Schriften, Berliner Ausgabe Bd 13, s.624).
In our logo, the hot-air balloon becomes the emblem of a gaze that rises without losing contact with the concrete. It is the symbol of a thought that, like the poetry evoked by Goethe, does not eliminate the complexity of the world, but reorganises it, rendering it visible from an entirely new perspective.
