About Stardust*

Stardust*s first year video, by plancton_LAB, November 2009.

Stardust* was born in Barcelona (Spain) in the November 2008 from an idea of Carla Athayde and Francesco Ducato.

Working in an international scale and in different art fields produced the need to develop a studio not worried about disciplinary definitions, not dedicated to specialization but concentrated in the construction of new realities defining relations of abilities and talents for each project.

The idea came from the need to “reveal” the connection between the different creative experiences and improve the mystery of this connection.

Stardust* is the result of an intuition and is a factory of intuitions.

Stardust* is a studio that operates in the field of the arts with a strong creativity impregnated by the culture of making. Creation and production work together to realize projects of high quality and efficiency. In this way the management becomes part of the creative process giving guaranties of success to the client and to the Stardust* team.
Against the idea of StarSystem we believe on the idea of strong, talented and qualified individualities, able to share their know how with the objective of a critic, innovative and responsible transformation of their physical and cultural environment. Meaning with environment every material or virtual space with its peculiarities.

Stardust* is at the moment developing projects in Spain, Italy, Brazil, Syria and USA and has not geographical limits.

We invite you to participate in our actual projects and to generate new ones together.

We are Stardust*.

“It has long been said that we are stardust.
Science has now proven that we are stardust. We are a living example, here on earth, of the prodigious phenomenon of hydrogen transforming itself into human consciousness. We should be worthy of this miracle”

Paolo Soleri, Venice Bienale, June 2000

What is it?

Stardust* is nothing.
It is just an intuition.
But at the same time everything is stardust: you and me, the things around us, our ideas and our feelings.
We look for solutions beyond the clouds, but maybe this should mean to look more inside us, with a microscope.
We need art and science to fight against our tendency to destruction and violence.We need art and science to create more and more.
We need to work together with the consciousness of what we are: just a little particle in the infinite universe.

Francesco Ducato, , Barcelona, November 2008
