Sculptor, visual artist, live media performer, Mattia Casalegno is able to connect fields and disciplines so distant as neurosciences, fashion, biology, chemistry, electronic music and architecture to produce works dealing with notions of perception, synaestesia, and audiovisual improvisation.
His aesthetics are driven by the research in the relationships between the fields of information (in-forms, to give form), biology (bio-logos, discourse on living) and ecology (in the Batesonian term), pointing on the centrality of code as tools and metaphor of his poetic. He is represented by the Cimatics Agency in Europe and writes regularly about new media and art on the online magazine Digicult.it.
His works and performances have been showed in institutions, among others, such as MADRE Contemporary Arts Museum, PAN, Roma Auditorium (Italy), Mutek Festival (Canada), Le Cube (France), OFFF (Spain), iMAL, Cimatics Festival (Belgium), LACMA and LACDA (US), Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (Taiwan).
