Paolo Cirio is one of the most acclaimed media artists and a socio-cultural agitator. His contribution to the Media Visual Studies opens new paths for non-fictional storytelling in the digital age through the integration of experimental and nonlinear narratives across multiple platforms. From Recombinant Fiction to Evidentiary Realism, his projects are a natural evolution of the Interventionist Media Art. Cirio’s lead role in hacktivism reveals the importance of radical democracy practices in the moving-image field, both as a creative catalyst and as an effective way to accuse and combat the complex networks of power relations in the post-truth era.
