Opening

A multidisciplinary platform supporting independent projects since 2003

About Opening

Opening is a multidisciplinary platform created by Matteo Fieni (2003–2025), developed at the intersection of art, culture, visual research and social projects.

Since 2003, with the domain opening.ch, Opening supports and produces independent projects that explore the relationships between creativity, society and technologies. Our work bridges traditional knowledge with contemporary research, connecting art, science and collective experience.

Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that society, nature and the human being are — and must remain — beautiful. Not in a superficial sense, but in the enlightened and spiritual dimension of beauty: a pursuit of harmony, clarity and dignity. Through our work we seek to reconnect this beauty with everyday life, revealing it as both a cultural responsibility and a shared experience.
