Chiara Zaccagnini (ch2o) is a digital artist and architect based in London. In her research, she challenges the principles of materiality and construction, questioning their role in shaping the future. Through her art, she transcends conventional architectural constraints, using technology as a medium to explore the evolving relationship between nature, digital systems, and the metaphysical realm of the soul. Her work exposes the deep entanglement of these forces, revealing how systems, structures, and living beings exist in a perpetual state of transformation.

Her work challenges the fragile balance between progress and preservation, urging a reevaluation of the digital and physical structures that shape our world. At its core, her practice calls for empathy, ethics, and a renewed approach to building, communicating, and existing in an interconnected future.

CH2O is a quiet signature of this ethos—subtle yet charged with meaning. It evokes the delicate interplay between preservation and change, construction and dissolution. It becomes a marker of her research-driven approach, where technology and art converge to challenge perceptions and inspire new dialogues about our shared future.
