My name is Damian Sabatini. I am an anthropologist with a Master’s degree in Material and Visual Culture from University College London, where I am currently developing my doctoral research. My work focuses on understanding how novel techniques are reshaping the ways we conceptualise and represent our environment.
To address this, I draw on a range of anthropological approaches, including visual culture studies, media studies, the anthropology of techniques, and outer space anthropology, among others. I am particularly interested in the different dimensions involved in producing and circulating images of the Earth and the places that constitute it.
I have been awarded two Becas Chile scholarships to pursue my Master’s and PhD studies, as well as a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant to support my fieldwork research (2025–2026). I have presented at three international conferences, published an article in the Journal of Material Culture, and produced a short expository documentary.
