Liminal State is a Rome-based transmedia art studio founded by Gregorio de Luca Comandini and Saverio Villirillo.
The studio investigates the relationship between humans, machines, and ecosystems through immersive environments, speculative narratives, and large-scale multimedia installations. Through light, sound, video, spatial design, and performance, Liminal State creates experiences that place audiences in a liminal condition: between physical and digital, utopia and dystopia, control and emergence.
For over a decade, the duo has explored the dialogue between art and science, producing exhibitions, installations, sound and light works, speculative visual imaginaries, and cultural programs internationally. Their research engages with themes such as perception, ethics, sustainability, and the socio-political implications of technological infrastructures.
Each project unfolds as a layered narrative system integrating installation, film, interactive interfaces, and participatory formats, questioning how contemporary power structures shape perception, identity, and collective futures.
Operating at the intersection of artistic practice, scientific inquiry, and critical media theory, Liminal State develops exhibitions and performances that, through the language of new media, generate dark immersive environments, cyclical patterns of light and sound, suspensions, and hypnotic crescendos. These immersive experiences lead participants into intensified perceptual states where the boundary between reality and imagination becomes porous, opening new possibilities for interpreting and transforming the present.
Liminal State represents the new trajectory initiated by the founders of NONE collective
