APPARATI
EFFIMERI
Apparati Effimeri is the studio under which Federico Bigi created monumental video mapping, immersive exhibitions and visual performances from 2008 to 2022 — together with the founding partners and a network of collaborators, including Stefania Reccia, on board for over ten years as creative curator.
In 2022 Federico and Stefania founded Sublime Tecnologico s.r.l. together — a project entirely their own, built from scratch, carrying forward the same artistic vision with full autonomy. If you are looking for Apparati Effimeri, you are in the right place.
FOUNDATION
Federico Bigi launches the Apparati Effimeri project in Bologna with the founding partners, among the first in Europe to experiment with video mapping applied to 3D CGI. First installations on historic facades: Teatro Testoni in Casalecchio, Rocca Malatestiana in Cesena. At the Glow Festival in Eindhoven: the only Italians featured in the international light design showcase.
INTERNATIONAL SCALE
Lavazza 20th Anniversary at the Milan Triennale with Fabio Novembre. Second place at the Moscow International Mapping Festival with Chiaroscuro. Geneva Mapping Festival with Velo di Maya. Brand collaborations: Ferrari, Nokia, Bacardi, BMW, Lexus.

FIRST EEG EXPERIMENTS
With Apparati Effimeri the experimentation with emotional interactivity begins: installations driven by brain waves via EEG technology. Watch the video of the first research, which would become one of the distinctive threads of the work in the years to follow.
SUBLIME TECNOLOGICO
Foundation of Sublime Tecnologico s.r.l. The Apparati Effimeri name gives way to a more solid corporate structure, keeping intact the artistic vision and working method built over fourteen years of international productions.
