Blue Traces began in 2019 as a collaborative initiative between artist Bianca Millan and musician-composer Giovanni Di Giandomenico, aiming to reintroduce a layer of human experience into the contemporary data-driven representation of reality. Using GPS tracking of daily movements and other tracking apps, the project translates the language of technology into the language of music, weaving a spatial and interactive connection with the participation of the audience.
Since its inception, Blue Traces has evolved into a multifaceted endeavor involving new collaborators across music, art critique, performance, and curation. Contributions from musicians such as Nicola Ratti and Héctor Cavallaro, performer and theatre actress Elena Rivoltini, art critic Annarosa Spina and music curator Sara Castiglioni have enriched the project, bringing diverse artistic insights and expanding its scope.
This collaborations have led Blue Traces to produce hybrid atlases, collaborative explorations, musical scores, and multidisciplinary mappings, redefining how we interpret and interact with data. The project has taken the shape of exhibitions, sound installations and performances at CASTIGLIONI and ADI Museum in Milan, POUSH in Paris, and the MAXXI Museum in Rome.
