CARLOTTA SALVATORI

One Body Is Multiple Bodies and Multiple Bodies Are One Body (2025)










































A three-channel installation, developed during my MA in Information Design 
at Design Academy Eindhoven. It analyzes how surveillance technologies break apart revolutionary leftist crowds. Through the use of mixed media animation — synthesizing analog forms such as drawing and painting — and tweaking the confidence of an algorithmic vision which detects people and objects, the work hones in on the structures of oppression used during Mussolini’s Italy and shows a continuity between these dynamics and the country’s present political condition.

Printed in a newspaper format, A Deceptive Flow focuses on the deployment of surveillance technologies in urban spaces and how their use has transformed how we perceive and participate in crowds. It highlights how these tools are deployed, enabling fascist systems to arise, as their framework is constructed on ideologies linked to colonial and oppressive systems. The thesis analyzes how differently the gaze from above and the crowds from below represent masses of bodies. Starting from the corners of buildings and traffic intersections, it studies the view from above, its oppressive history and the elements remaining of this oppression in the contemporary. It then moves to the ground, examining how surveillance has altered the behaviour of protests and how they resist this bird’s-eye view from above, archiving moments of resistance and creating a constellation of documentation and strategies that serve as evidence against state narratives.
