Mattia Casalegno is a Los Angeles based Italian multidisciplinary artist, live-media performer and installation artist working in a broad range of media.〔http://file-magazine.com/citylikeyou/profiles/mattia-casalegno〕 His multidisciplinary work is influenced by both post-conceptualism and digital art, and has been defined relational, immersive, and participatory. His practice explores the effects new media have on our societies, investigating the relationships between technology, the objects we create, our subjectivities, and the modes in which these relations unfold into each other. Casalegno was born in Naples and studied Communication Studies at La Sapienza University in Rome and Design Media Arts at UCLA. He performed and exhibited in international digital arts festival and venues including Mutek, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Netmage, Sant'Arcangelo dei Teatri, MACRO Museum and Auditorium in Rome(). In 2001 he co-founded with Giovanni D'Aloia the project Kinotek, a seminal vjing and live-media group based in Rome, among the first Italian collectives to use digital tools during their performances. In 2005 he collaborated with electronic music composer Maurizio Martusciello in the audiovisual project X-Scape, presented in numerous international and Italian events. His work often revolves around Deleuzian ideas. He reportedly manifested his interest in "painting the forces" and the use of audiovisual languages as "affections in their pure state". In an interview in 2010, discussing one of his projects, he alluded to the concept of ''ritornell'' in Deleuze and the capacity of structured sounds, notably rhythm, to define a space. He often deploys technologies, ideas and aesthetics borrowed from the sciences. He used EEG and Neurofeedback technologies in several installations and performances. His kinetic sculpture ''RBSC.01''(2011-2014) is an improbable sacramental bread-making machine inspired by the RuBiSco enzyme, the most abundant protein on Earth. In other projects Casalegno tackles topics of ecology, system theory, and biology, as in the interactive audiovisual installation ''Il Gesto Sospeso'', ideated in collaboration with the fashion designer Roberto Capucci and artist Maurizio Martusciello, and premiered at the Hadrian Temple for the Rome Fashion Week in 2010. In 2012 he designed a visualization of data from the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute as part of a site-specific performance by environmental artist Lita Albuquerque for the Knowledge Festival at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mattia Casalegno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
