Nothing personal is a sound art story of epic literature told in the form of contemporary musical telling the history of the deification of the concept of money which, from a simple and useful exchanging code, becomes the most powerful and ancient religion ever existed… without time, without god, without ethics, without responsibility… on the other hand… Nothing Personal. Welcome to the Asomatic world where you can experience the conjunction of the physical and digital universe. In my sonic metaverse you can personally experience the sensation of physically walking through the metaverse fused into your visual reality. To better enjoy this immersive audio experience, I recommend that you put on headphones, now you can break the boundaries of the stage space and immerse yourself in the theatrical action. Get closer to each globe of light, move within the narrative, listen to the story, perceive the presence of the different sounds by moving in space. Just move to the locations listed to enjoy Nothing Personal in AR. The Astronut Place and date of birth unknown as well as gender, The Astronaut explores the variable existing relationship between the concept of codes and the concept of soul, like the DNA representing the string of source code from which humanity is elaborated and the soul that lives in every single existance.In the absence of a generated identity, the Astronaut artist uses the abstraction of humanizing traits to become an emblem of its own notions. These concepts are represented utilizing many types of digital media, such as immersive spatial audio and video installations, NFTs, VR, and AR installations. Filippo Gregoretti Filippo is a pioneer in the combination of technology, visual arts, performance, music, and storytelling.
