Gino is a social innovator and a student of history and culture. His practice examines the past, particularly in Southeast Asia, in order to adapt knowledge into forms of social innovation and development that can regenerate both society and the environment. He is also a member of Ctrl+R Collective, with whom we previously collaborated in an exhibition in 2024.
-
His recent work involves the use of technology to better manage resources and supply chains, particularly in agriculture.
In this project, as Founder of Drone Training / EdTech at in Phuket, Gino played a key role in capturing drone shots and aerial documentation. His contribution draws on both technical expertise and contextual awareness, including real world drone operation, aviation law, safety, and the ability to read the specific conditions of the site.

Typically, drones in Phuket are used within the frameworks of tourism, real estate, and construction to document and construct visual narratives of space from above. This reflects how urban territories are perceived, organized, and made visible in terms of function and use.
-
However, within the context of artistic research and documentation, the drone gradually shifts away from its conventional role. It becomes a way of seeing that reveals the layered conditions within a single space, where nature, development, tourism, and everyday life coexist without ever being fully separated.
-
From this elevated and distant perspective, the images do not simply present the beauty of the sea, but begin to expose patterns of construction, concentrations of people, and subtle everyday behaviors occurring simultaneously within the same site. At the same time, traces of building, use, occupation, and disappearance emerge as overlapping conditions that continue to persist.
