This image depicts a man sitting outdoors, with lush greenery in the background. The man is seated on a rock, facing the camera, with a calm and contemplative expression. He has short, curly dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He is wearing a simple, dark-colored button-up shirt, and his hands are gently clasped in his lap. In the foreground, some plants are slightly out of focus, adding depth to the composition. The natural setting gives a peaceful and serene atmosphere to the portrait.

Marco Barotti is a Berlin media artist. He creates data-driven kinetic sound interventions in natural and urban environments. His installations merge audio technology, consumer objects, and waste into moving sculptures triggered entirely by sound. The primary focus of his work is to create a “tech ecosystem” that plays with resemblances to animals and plants. These artworks serve as a metaphor for the anthropogenic impact on the planet and aim to make people aware of environmental issues.

Barotti has been awarded the NTU Global Digital Art Prize, the Tesla Award, and the Delux Colour Award. 

His work has been exhibited internationally at Gwangju Biennale, (KR) Ars Electronica, (AT) Saatchi Gallery, (UK) Science Gallery Melbourne (AU), New Media Gallery, (CA) Wro Art Center, (PL) Picknick, (KR) Isea (CA) and more.

Barotti has received grants from Stiftung Kunstfonds, Emap / Emare, bbk and Music Board Berlin. He has been selected for prestigious residency programs such as S+T+ARTS, Art of Entanglement, Science Gallery Berlin / BIFOLD at TU Berlin, Zer01ne Creators project, Seoul, Re:Searching IT Security CASA - Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security Ruhr-Universität Bochum and WRO Center for Media Art, Wroclaw.
