A few words about who I am and why I decided to join the Fab Academy programme.
Chi ha ucciso Il Conte?
“Chi Ha Ucciso il Conte?” is a pseudonym for the Venice-based designer Nicolò Merendino. It is no coincidence that “Chi Ha Ucciso Il Conte?” is a question and not a statement. My approach to design starts from the idea that design is a process that requires people to ask themselves many questions.
“Chi Ha Ucciso il Conte?” specialises in designing electronic musical instruments and components for media art installations. His work involves understanding artists’ needs and translating them into usable, expressive forms. Nick uses digital fabrication techniques and adds manual finishes to the resulting parts. Since an internship at STEIM in the Netherlands, he has collaborated on electronic musical instruments and sound installations across Europe.
Although I already had some experience in design and digital fabrication, I joined Fab Academy in 2020 to strengthen my skills in areas such as coding and electronics, and to become more involved in the Fab network.
