Morphogenesis; "The Origin of the shape" and Superstructure; "The multiscale process of creation and perception of the form." Was born as a particular need to communicate the experience to live science and art in parallel. Which tends to explore the potential of the transition states of mind and matter in the processes of perception and creation.

Art/Science/Technology 2016-Robotics
October 28, 2016
Given the interest aroused by the art / science project / biotech product from Gruppo78 in 2015
We consider it appropriate, to pursue this issue, diverting in 2016, the focus on the role of contemporary art robotics. In a time when robotics in all its forms, from industrial to medical, from the personal and mass to home automation, pervades contemporary society in a growing exponentially, is of great interest to start an investigation, albeit limited to a temporary event, in this specific sector. Taking into account - in the historical previous, literary, mythological, - the ancient aspiration to replicate the man, automatism, while today they build artificial life forms that replace the natural ones in an anthropological downsizing able to change practices and ancient customs , breaking the fabric of society. With the explosive technological development, closely linked to the biological, lie ahead fact new and different possibilities of life, even beyond our planet, in a post or trans human dimension.

"Mexico around 2000"
The project is the result of international expansion leading to MEX PRO event produced last year by Gruppo78 along with Mexican cultural forces, concentrated in the exhibition "Mexico around 2000" that led to the stables of the Miramare Castle for 81 Mexican artists first time in Europe (passed then in Piedmont, in Denmark, now in Paris).
The contacts were extended to Slovenia, Switzerland, Norway, Greece ... to promote cultural initiatives based on contemporary art. The project is therefore in the idea of an international co-designing in a trade network that produces joint projects.
The art-science relationship, which has always existed, is prompted by the knowledge of the research and the outcomes of Mexican artist such as Daniel Romero Nieto that combine art and science. Daniel Romero in particular is nanotechnologist, researcher at the University of Science and Technology NTNU Norway (Norvegian University of Science and Technology-NTNU) and at the same painter and use the pictorial language to tell the Universe, the Micro and Macro, chaos and the cosmos.

The Arocena Museum
From March 23 to August 5, 2012.
The Arocena Museum had the honor to present Mexico in silver: five centuries of shared identity, a great temporary exhibition that had as main objective to celebrate the Mexican identity through the highest artistic manifestations reached in this noble metal.
Silver is the soul of Mexico. Its mere mention evokes in one who hears concepts such as ambition, wealth and conquest; Tradition, folk art, contemporary design and art. It is a shared identity that spreads from one extreme to another our territory, with all its similarities and differences, a generous mantle that envelops Mexico with the brilliant investiture that is our history.
