Sculpting Global Financial Information Asymmetry.
Paolo will present his recent project Loophole for All, an leak and hack of Cayman Islands finance information system. The artwork exposed the Caymans firms and combined with an aggressive business strategy, reversed global corporate machination for creative subversive agendas. This performance generated local and international media attention, engaged an active audience and drew outrage from authorities on the Cayman Islands, international accounting firms and PayPal. The project investigated offshore centers to expose their costs and to envision solutions to global economic injustice.

His artworks will be presented through a theory of sculpting sensitive information flows in new structures that reveal conflicts, abuses and potentials of contemporary mediated realities.
